Characteristics and prognostic values of abdominal aortic branches calcification in hemodialysis patients

Renal Failure
Background Vascular calcification is highly prevalent and associated with mortality in hemodialysis patients. However, extreme splanchnic arterial calcification in calciphylaxis with poor prognosis raises questions regarding the reliability of previous ...

Comparison Between the Acurate Neo and the Acurate Neo 2 Transcatheter Heart Valve System: Impact of Midframe Under‐Expansion

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with the Acurate Neo has been linked to a significant incidence of paravalvular leakage (PVL), addressed by the Acurate Neo 2 incorporating an active sealing skirt. Recent findings suggest that midframe under‐expansion is associated with worse outcomes.

Debate: TAVI prosthesis selection for severe calcification. The self-expandable technology approach

REC: Interventional Cardiology (English Ed.)
QUESTION: What are the implications of aortic valve calcification on the outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)? ANSWER: By design, currently marketed TAVI prostheses require a certain degree of annular calcification to ensure proper ...

Novel Use of Intravascular Lithotripsy for the Mobilization of an Entrapped Coronary Guidewire in a Heavily Calcified LAD/DB Bifurcation Lesion—A Case Report

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 64‑year‑old man with a Non–ST‑elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) underwent coronary angiography, which revealed single‑vessel disease with a high‑grade proximal and a severely calcified mid‑LAD lesion just proximal to a diagonal branch (DB). Both the LAD and the DB were wired.

Quantitative Aortic Arch Calcification Is Associated with Non-ipsilateral Ischemic Lesions after Transfemoral Carotid Artery Stenting

Neurologia Medico-Chirurgica
Non-ipsilateral ischemic lesions after carotid artery stenting are considered to arise from emboli originating in the aortic arch, but the quantitative contribution of aortic arch calcification to post-carotid artery stenting ischemic lesions remains ...

Feasibility and Procedural Considerations of Balloon‐Expandable TAVR in Patients With Prior Endovascular Aortic Stent Grafts

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the feasibility and short‐term outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using balloon‐expandable Sapien valves in patients with prior endovascular aortic stent grafts. Methods We conducted a single‐center, retrospective study of 23 patients with prior endovascular aortic stent grafts who underwent TAVR ...

[A study of aortic calcification uremia].

Nihon Jinzo Gakkai shi, 1997
For the purpose of clarifying the relationship between aortic calcification and several factors associated with uremia, aortic calcification was estimated in autopsied uremic patients as well as in uremic rats treated in 1, 25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1, 25D).

Gutter Rotation Technique for Percutaneous Ipsilateral Retrieval of a Ruptured SAPIEN‐3 Balloon

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balloon rupture during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with balloon‐expandable valves is a rare but potentially serious complication that may result in incomplete valve expansion, difficult device retrieval, and vascular injury.
