Less Symptom Improvement in Patients Undergoing TAVI With Concomitant COPD, Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Comorbidities like a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) can cause similar symptoms as aortic stenosis (AS). However, how they influence symptom improvement and long‐term outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is unclear.

Transcaval Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Clinical Outcomes From a TAVI Program Without Prior Transcaval Experience

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite the emergence of the transcaval (TCv) access route for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in the treatment of patients with hostile iliofemoral anatomy, the number of patients reported in clinical series of TCv TAVI has been relatively small (< 500 published cases). We assessed procedural and clinical outcomes in

Atrial Fibrillation: A Review of Recent Studies with a Focus on Those from the Duke Clinical Research Institute

open access: yesScientifica, 2014
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia and accounts for one-third of hospitalizations for rhythm disorders in the United States. The prevalence of atrial fibrillation averages 1% and increases with age.

Minimum Lumen Area Indexed to Left Ventricular Mass to Identify Functionally Significant Left Main Coronary Stenoses

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Diagnosing significant left main coronary artery (LMCA) stenoses based on anatomical criteria remains challenging. The ARMYDA FINISH multicenter study evaluated whether indexing intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)‐derived minimum lumen area (MLA) provides greater diagnostic accuracy than unindexed MLA for detecting ...

Atrial fibrillation among patients under investigation for suspected obstructive sleep apnea.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Study objectivesObstructive sleep apnea is common among patients with atrial fibrillation, but the prevalence and risk factors for atrial fibrillation among patients who are being investigated on suspicion of sleep apnea are not well known.

Cryoballoon or Radiofrequency Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation.

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2016
BACKGROUND Current guidelines recommend pulmonary-vein isolation by means of catheter ablation as treatment for drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Radiofrequency ablation is the most common method, and cryoballoon ablation is the second most

Impact of Femoropopliteal Drug‐Coated Balloon Use on Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Limb‐Threatening Ischemia

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) for femoropopliteal (FP) lesions have demonstrated superiority over standard percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in maintaining vessel patency. However, data on whether the good durability of DCBs translates into improved wound outcome in chronic limb‐threatening ischemia (CLTI) patients are ...

Navigating the Uncertainties of Antithrombotic Therapy After Transcatheter Patent Foramen Ovale Closure: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The patent foramen ovale (PFO), present in 25% of the population, can cause paradoxical embolism and stroke. Transcatheter PFO closure is the gold standard for recurrent embolism with significant inter‐atrial shunting, with recent trials confirming its superiority in reducing ischemic stroke recurrence over medical therapy.
