The Value of CT-FFR in Predicting Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Patients with Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease [PDF]
Background At present, FFR is the "gold standard" index for evaluating the function and physiology of coronary blood flow. CT-fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) reflects the hemodynamic changes of coronary artery lesions, it has higher diagnostic and ...

Left Main Stem Perforation: Management Strategies in a Potentially Catastrophic Event
ABSTRACT Left main stem coronary perforation is a potentially fatal complication of percutaneous coronary intervention if not recognized early and treated emergently. Treating left main stem perforation can be challenging due to the significant hemodynamic effect of one of the important steps, namely balloon tamponade.

ABSTRACT Background A substantial proportion of patients with angina and/or ischemia are found to have non‐obstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA/INOCA). Their symptoms can sometimes be explained by coronary microvascular dysfunction and/or vasospasm. Selecting patients for acetylcholine testing remains challenging, and the procedure is not trivial in ...

ABSTRACT Neonates with infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) frequently require urgent treatment. If surgical repair is contraindicated due to extreme prematurity, interventional stenting of the ductus venosus (DV) has been introduced successfully to postpone surgery.

ABSTRACT Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent comorbidity in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). In addition, new‐onset AF can occur after TAVI. However, data on how AF affects outcomes in patients undergoing TAVI remain conflicting.

Re-implant of the right coronary artery: a surgical technique for the treatment of ostial lesions
Previously described surgical treatment for ostial coronary artery stenosis relied on either venous or arterial bypasses or ostial patch angioplasty. These surgical procedures are performed with bovine pericardium, saphenous vein or internal thoracic ...

An echocardiographic clue for ostial left main coronary artery stenosis
Calcified nodules in human coronary arteries are usually focally distributed. Non-invasive imaging of coronary arteries by bedside emergency transthoracic echocardiography in adults is possible and may become a useful adjunct to other methods of coronary

ABSTRACT Background The residual Gensini score (rGS) was developed to quantify the severity of coronary atheroma burden after coronary revascularisation. The predictive value of the rGS for clinical outcomes in patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains unexplored.

ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) anatomy remains challenging due to anatomical complexity and limited trial data. New‐generation balloon‐expandable valves, such as Myval, require further evaluation in this subgroup.
