Automatic Segmentation of the Left Ventricle in Cardiac CT Angiography Using Convolutional Neural Network [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Accurate delineation of the left ventricle (LV) is an important step in evaluation of cardiac function. In this paper, we present an automatic method for segmentation of the LV in cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) scans. Segmentation is performed in two stages.

Comparison of Fractional Flow Reserve and Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Saphenous Vein Grafts

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Revascularization decision‐making for saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) relies on angiographic lesion severity estimation, as studies on fractional flow reserve (FFR) for detecting ischemia in SVGs are scarce. Aims To compare FFR and quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) of SVGs against myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and to ...

Automatic Coregistration Between Coronary Angiography and Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography

open access: yesJACC: Asia, 2021
This study sought to evaluate a novel approach for automatic coregistration of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and coronary angiography. Lumen diameters and side branches from both coronary angiography and OCT were used to create 2 feature sets ...

Novel Transthoracic Pulmonary Valve Implantation Using Self‐Expanding Salus Valve: A Prospective Study of Safety and Mid‐Term Outcomes

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) has emerged as a valuable treatment for severe pulmonary regurgitation (PR). The Salus valve (Balance Medical Technology Co. Ltd., Beijing, China) represents a novel self‐expanding valve stent designed for deployment through a transthoracic approach with a small subxiphoid incision ...

Effects of theophyline on contrast [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, 2006
Background and purpose: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CN) is one of the most common causes of iatrogenic acute renal failure. In fact CN is the third leading cause of new ARF in hospitalized patients. Radiocontrast-associated ARF is a significant problem

A Multi-physics Model of Flow from Coronary Angiography: Insights into Microvascular Function [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and Coronary Microvascular Disease (CMD) can lead to insufficient blood flow to the myocardium, affecting millions of people globally. Coronary angiography, one of the most commonly used imaging modalities, offers valuable information that assists in diagnosing these diseases.

Incidence and 1‐Year Prognostic of Unstable Angina After High‐Sensitivity Troponin Assessment

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Incidence and prognostic of unstable angina after high‐sensitivity troponin assesment is controversial. Aims This study evaluated prognostic of a contemporary population of patients with UA defined using high sensitive T troponin (T hs‐cTn) measurements and with significant coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods Consecutive patients
