Coronary Plaque Characteristics Assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography and Plasma Lipoprotein(a) Levels in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, but its influence on plaque characteristics at optical coherence tomography (OCT) evaluation is not fully understood. Aims This study seeks to explore the impact of Lp(a) levels on plaque morphology as assessed by OCT in a very high‐risk subset of patients ...

Closure of a Late‐Onset Iatrogenic Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm Caused by Erosion of an Apical Muscular VSD Device

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We report the case of a 3‐year‐old asymptomatic girl (12 kg, 96 cm) who was diagnosed with a large iatrogenic left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP) on follow‐up ultrasound, 14 months after apical muscular ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure with a 10 mm Amplatzer Muscular VSD occluder (Abbott, USA) due to device erosion.

Steerable Delivery Sheath for Optimized LAA Closure: First Experience and Procedural Outcomes

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The new Amplatzer Steerable Delivery Sheath is a delivery system designed to improve ease‐of‐use and procedural results of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). We aimed to compare procedural results after switching our LAAC program at a tertiary care center with the Amulet device to the Steerable Delivery Sheath, with a control ...

Novel Transthoracic Pulmonary Valve Implantation Using Self‐Expanding Salus Valve: A Prospective Study of Safety and Mid‐Term Outcomes

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 105, Issue 7, Page 1597-1607, June 1, 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) has emerged as a valuable treatment for severe pulmonary regurgitation (PR). The Salus valve (Balance Medical Technology Co. Ltd., Beijing, China) represents a novel self‐expanding valve stent designed for deployment through a transthoracic approach with a small subxiphoid incision ...

Impact of Diabetes on Long‐Term Outcomes of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Coronary Bifurcation Lesions

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well‐known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery diseases (CAD). Complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) such as PCI for bifurcation lesions often yields poor outcomes, especially in DM patients.

The Impact of Underlying Plaque Characteristics Following the Third‐Generation Resorbable Magnesium Scaffold Implantation: An Intravascular OCT Assessment up to 12‐Months

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 105, Issue 7, Page 1563-1571, June 1, 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Third‐generation resorbable magnesium scaffold (RMS) was developed with stronger mechanical properties and thinner struts compared to its predecessor. This study aimed to assess the influence of the OCT‐derived underlying plaque characteristics on in‐scaffold late lumen loss (LLL) in patients treated with RMS up to 12‐months ...

Trends and Outcomes Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients With Myeloproliferative Neoplasms: Insights From National Database

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 105, Issue 7, Page 1535-1544, June 1, 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are associated with an increased cardiovascular risk including acute coronary syndrome. However, there is a lack of comprehensive data regarding the rate of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), as well as the in‐hospital characteristics and outcomes for MPN patients.
