“Bendy” stents help negotiate hairpin intracardiac curves [PDF]

, 2015
Simple transposition of the great arteries (TGA) occurs in 0.2 per 1000 live births. The condition is surgically repaired in the neonatal period by the arterial switch procedure (ASO) sometimes preceded by an atrial septostomy.

Endovascular Stenting for Pulmonary Vein Stenosis Following Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: From Diagnosis to Intervention

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is an uncommon but serious complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, often misinterpreted as primary pulmonary disease. Timely identification is essential to prevent irreversible injury and to guide appropriate referral for interventional management. Case Presentations Through the discussion of

Usefulness of quantitative and qualitative angiographic lesion morphology, and clinical characteristics in predicting major adverse cardiac events during and after native coronary balloon angioplasty [PDF]

, 1993
Major, adverse cardiac events (death, myocardial infarction, bypass surgery and reintervention) occur in 4 to 7% of all patients undergoing coronary balloon angioplasty. Prospectively collected clinical data, and angiographic quantitative and qualitative

A Prospective, Multicenter, Open Label Study Investigating the Implementation of a Standardized Algorithm for Coronary CaLcificatiOn With PlaquE Modification Using UltraSound Guidance to Improve Procedural and Clinical Outcomes (CYCLOPES): Design and Rationale of the CYCLOPES Trial

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Moderate‐to‐severe calcification is present in ~20%–30% of patients undergoing coronary angiography. Coronary lesion modification is often necessary to facilitate optimal stent delivery and expansion, with several dedicated devices now approved for calcium modification before stent implantation. The CYCLOPES study aims to evaluate

Assessing the effectiveness of primary angioplasty compared with thrombolysis and its relationship to time delay: a Bayesian evidence synthesis [PDF]

, 2007
Background: Meta-analyses of trials have shown greater benefits from angioplasty than thrombolysis after an acute myocardial infarction, but the time delay in initiating angioplasty needs to be considered.

Nationwide Analysis of PCI After TAVR From the Netherlands Heart Registration

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has gained interest as concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD) is now often treated conservatively before TAVR, and TAVR is increasingly used in younger patients with longer life expectancies. Therefore, more contemporary data on PCI after

Comparative ergonomic workflow and user experience analysis of MRI versus fluoroscopy-guided vascular interventions:an iliac angioplasty exemplar case study [PDF]

, 2015
Purpose A methodological framework is introduced to assess and compare a conventional fluoroscopy protocol for peripheral angioplasty with a new magnetic resonant imaging (MRI)-guided protocol.

Atherectomy With Multimodal Embolic Protection for Severely Calcified Femoropopliteal Lesions

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Severe calcification in femoropopliteal lesions remains a clinical challenge to achieve both the technical and long‐term success in endovascular therapy. Although atherectomy is an effective treatment for calcified lesions, it is associated with the risk of distal embolization, even with the use of embolic protection devices (EPDs), and ...
