The challenges of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHV) with respect to calcification, infection, and poor durability are tackled by surface engineering of hyperbranched poly‐L‐lysine (HBPL), providing a translational solution to improve long‐term valve performance.

ABSTRACT Human atrial chambers derive from distinct embryonic anlagens, the original embryonic atria gradually transforming into the so‐called auricles, or atrial appendages. This study quantifies macroscopic variations in pectinate muscle architecture in human atrial appendages and evaluates their visualization using clinical imaging modalities.

ABSTRACT The anatomical relationship of the inferior thyroid artery (ITA) and the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is highly variable. This study aims to evaluate bilateral RLN branching patterns and their relationship to the ITA within the same patient, predicting contralateral anatomical variations and ultimately reducing intraoperative risk of RLN ...

ABSTRACT A novel anatomical description and radiological finding, related to the anatomical course of the terminal fibular artery (FibA) was recently reported. In the article, the authors found the terminal FibA to change its course, from being posterior and medial to the fibula to surface anteriorly and laterally before residing below the tibiofibular

ABSTRACT Inconsistencies exist in anatomy and clinical reference texts regarding the vertebral levels of major abdominal structures. Accurate surface anatomy is essential for diagnostic interpretation and interventional procedures, yet little is known about how health status or pathology may influence the vertebral relationships of abdominal organs ...

ABSTRACT Percutaneous transaxillary access is an established alternative to transfemoral large‐bore arterial access for transcatheter structural heart interventions and mechanical circulatory support (MCS). Although useful for overcoming hostile iliofemoral anatomy and providing prolonged support and patient mobilization in case of MCS, the axillary ...

VERMONT μQFR: Diagnostic Accuracy of Murray Law‐Based 2D‐μQFR Compared to 3D‐μQFR and vFFR
ABSTRACT Background Murray law‐based quantitative flow ratio (μQFR) is an angiography‐derived physiological index that utilizes a single angiographic projection with artificial intelligence‐guided vessel segmentation. Aims To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and time efficacy of 2D‐μQFR against wire‐based fractional flow reserve (FFR ≤ 0.80), compare ...

ABSTRACT Background The utilization of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients presenting with ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) has increased substantially in recent years. However, it remains unclear whether the spectrum of MCS devices available and the type of hospital in which patients are ...

ABSTRACT Background Preprocedural planning with multislice computed tomography (MSCT) is an essential prerequisite for successful transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, preprocedural planning is time‐consuming and may contain clinically meaningful interobserver variability.
