Morphology of the sternoclavicular joint and its microanatomical changes in response to osteoarthritic degeneration

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
Abstract Although the sternoclavicular joint shares structural similarities with the knee and hip joints as a diarthrodial joint, its biomechanics differ significantly due to its non‐weight‐bearing nature. Nevertheless, it is subject to considerable loading, leading to increased susceptibility to osteoarthritis, a prevalent condition characterized by ...

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 ...

Impact of Elevated Preprocedural Left Ventricular Filling Pressure on Prognosis of Mild Paravalvular Regurgitation Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Paravalvular regurgitation (PVR) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a complication linked to poor outcomes. The prognostic impact of mild PVR, particularly in patients with elevated preprocedural left ventricular (LV) filling pressure, remains uncertain.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Angiography‐Derived Murray Law‐Based Quantitative Flow Ratio (μQFR) Versus Pressure‐Derived Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) in Moderate to Severe Calcified Coronary Lesions—The DIAMOND Study

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Murray law‐based Quantitative Flow Ratio (μQFR) is an innovative AI‐driven method for evaluating coronary lesions using contrast flow velocity estimates. Unlike traditional approaches, μQFR does not require pressure wires or hyperemia induction.

Increased Thrombogenicity is Associated With Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction in Patients With STEMI—A Proof‐of‐Concept Study

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Up to 50% of patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) develop coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). Aims This study aims to assess whether a prothrombotic state of coronary blood, defined by thromboelastography (TEG), is associated with post ...
