Comparison of Procedural and Clinical Outcomes of Angiography‐ Versus Imaging‐Guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Intravascular Lithotripsy

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is an innovative treatment for coronary artery calcification (CAC). Aims This study aimed to compare procedural and clinical outcomes of intracoronary imaging (ICI)‐guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus angiography‐guided PCI with IVL in patients with CAC.

Subcoronary versus supracoronary aortic stenosis. an experimental evaluation

open access: yesJournal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2011
Background Valvular aortic stenosis is the most common cause of left ventricular hypertrophy due to gradually increasing pressure work. As the stenosis develop the left ventricular hypertrophy may lead to congestive heart failure, increased risk of ...

Using Shockwave Lithotripsy to Treat Severe Calcified Mitral Stenosis in a Pregnant Woman

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) with significant calcification presents challenges for both surgical and transcatheter interventions. Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) is often limited in these cases due to valve rigidity, increasing the risk of mitral regurgitation (MR).

Long‐Term Follow‐Up After Direct‐Flow Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: A Single Center Experience

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Valve degeneration after DirectFlow implantation poses a challenge for valve‐in‐valve procedures due to its fragile polymeric structure and embolization risk. This study analyzes long‐term follow‐up of patients who underwent TAVI with DF to understand valve degeneration tendencies.
