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

Evaluation of the Appropriate Root Pressure for Maintaining Heartbeat during an Aortic Cross-clamp for Primary Repair of the Aortic Arch in Premature Infants with Associated Cardiac Anomalies [PDF]
We developed a new cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) method to minimize myocardial damage during aortic arch reconstruction. In this method, coronary flow and heartbeat were stabilized by maintaining the aortic root pressure with an adjusted preload of the ...

Nationwide Analysis of PCI After TAVR From the Netherlands Heart Registration
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

Coronary artery grafting in infants [PDF]
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiac vale repair is an uncommon surgery in infants. CABG is technically demanding in infants due to the small size not only of the coronary arteries but also the potential graft arteries.

ABSTRACT Coronary perforations are a dreaded complication for any interventional cardiologist. The treatment of this complication is exceptionally difficult when it occurs in a coronary bifurcation. While a conservative approach or a balloon occlusion might be sufficient in some cases, additional treatment is sometimes necessary.

Commissural Misalignment Following Valve‐in‐Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
ABSTRACT Background Data on commissural misalignment (CMA) during valve‐in‐valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (ViV‐TAVI) for valve failure after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is scarce. Aims To study the impact of CMA on clinical and hemodynamic outcomes following ViV‐TAVI for failed SAVR.
