ABSTRACT Background Elliptical annular anatomy has been considered a risk factor for adverse outcomes after TAVI, particularly paravalvular leakage (PVL). Prosthesis oversizing is thought to improve sealing, but the interaction between annular shape and sizing strategy remains unclear.

ABSTRACT We present the case of a 56‐year‐old male with non‐ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and a complex thrombotic lesion at the ostial left circumflex artery (LCX), extending into bifurcating marginal branches. Due to the high risk of side branch occlusion, a stentless strategy using thrombus aspiration, the reverse wire technique, and ...

ABSTRACT Background Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the valent type of valvular heart disease, caused by primary leaflet lesions or annular dilatation secondary to left ventricular dysfunction. It can lead to a series of complications such as volume overload, exacerbated pulmonary congestion, and heart failure, significantly impacting patient prognosis ...

Procedural Outcome of Modern Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Proximal Chronic Total Occlusions
ABSTRACT Background Long‐term outcome in patients with chronic total occlusions (CTO) depends on the target vessel and proximity of the lesion. Aims To investigate of the target vessel was associated with procedural efficacy and safety in patients with proximal CTO lesions.
