A Rare Case of Nitroglycerin Resistant Coronary Arterial Vasospasm During Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Coronary artery vasospasm following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a rare but potentially life‐threatening complication that can lead to myocardial ischemia, arrhythmias, and cardiogenic shock. Nitroglycerin‐resistant vasospasm, particularly involving the left main coronary artery (LMCA), poses significant diagnostic and ...

Use of ReCross to Increase Success Rate With Antegrade CTO PCI—A Multicenter Observational Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Antegrade approach remains one of the predominant techniques for CTO PCI. Success rates have increased significantly recently due to advancements in devices and strategies, along with the hybrid algorithm. ReCross is a uniquely modified microcatheter with two over‐the‐wire lumens and three exit ports, offering significant potential ...

Efficacy and Safety of Intravascular Lithotripsy in the Management of Underexpanded Stents: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Stent underexpansion significantly heightens the risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), and available treatment options for this condition remain limited. Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) technology disrupts superficial and deep calcium by using localized pulsative sonic pressure waves, emerges as a promising tool for ...

Pressure‐Wire Guided Hybrid Branch Pulmonary Artery Band Placement for Palliation of Single Ventricle and Critical Congenital Cardiac Lesions

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Historically, bilateral pulmonary artery band (PAB) placement was guided by pulmonary blood flow surrogates including systemic blood pressure (BP) and arterial saturation. These metrics alone may result in suboptimal bPAB placement.

Increased Thrombogenicity is Associated With Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction in Patients With STEMI—A Proof‐of‐Concept Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Up to 50% of patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) develop coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). Aims This study aims to assess whether a prothrombotic state of coronary blood, defined by thromboelastography (TEG), is associated with post ...

The First‐in‐Man Technique of Drug Eluting and Perfusion Therapy for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Treating ostial left circumflex artery (LCx) lesions in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for left main disease (LMD) remains a challenge. Despite recent recommendations for the use of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) in this lesion, there are concerns about crossover‐stenting from the left main trunk (LMT) to the left anterior ...

Treatment With Phosphodiesterase 5 Inhibitors and Long‐Term Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography and Cardiac Catheterization

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The effects of phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors on the incidence of long‐term outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease are not well understood. Objective: We studied the association between PDE5 inhibitor therapy and the incidence of adverse cardiovascular major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients ...

A Case Series of Valve‐in‐Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Stentless Bioprosthetic Valves Using Self‐Expanding Platform With Minimalist Approach

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Valve‐in‐valve (ViV) Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a valid treatment option in symptomatic patients with failed aortic bioprosthetic valves, most especially in those with intermediate, high or prohibitive risk of surgery. Due to the unique design of stentless bioprosthetic valves with absence of visible posts and

Propensity Matched Analysis of 14 French Suture‐ Versus Plug‐Based Vascular Closure During Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Plug‐based vascular closure devices (Pb‐VCD) and suture‐based vascular closure devices (Sb‐VCD) are used for percutaneous vascular access site closure during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Until now, no clear superiority of either device was shown in studies comparing 18 F VCDs solely.

Coronary Artery Vasculopathy in a Cohort of Heart Transplant Recipients: A Single Center Experience

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Coronary allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a significant cause of late mortality in heart transplant recipients. This study assesses the development of CAV, associated rejection rates, and the potential impact of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on survival in a cohort of heart transplant patients.
