Guidewire Manipulation Based on Establishment of Stereo Perception in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Traditional percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) relies on two‐dimensional X‐ray imaging, but this does not allow depth perception and complicates precise manipulation of the guidewire. Our purpose was to develop a novel method for guidewire manipulation by establishing stereoscopic perception in coronary angiography (CAG), as ...

Percutaneous Management of Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction in an Adult Patient After Atrial Switch: A Case for Targeted Infundibular Ablation

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alcohol septal ablation is a well‐established treatment method for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We present a case report of a patient with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) after a Mustard procedure, who developed significant right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO), functionally resembling subaortic stenosis ...
