Excessive Ostial Stent Protrusion: Evaluation of Management Strategies and Clinical Outcomes of the Side Flap Technique

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Backgrounds Accurate stent positioning in aorto‐ostial lesions remains challenging due to complex three‐dimensional anatomy, lack of optimal fluoroscopic projections, and high rates of geographic miss. Stent overhang impairs guide catheter re‐engagement and complicates future revascularization.

Around and Through: Successful Mitral Paravalvular Leakage Closure Using Both Anterograde and Retrograde Approaches

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a recognized complication after surgical mitral valve replacement and may cause heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, or hemolysis when moderate or severe. Although redo surgery is the definitive treatment, it carries substantial risk in elderly patients or those with multiple prior cardiac surgeries.

Aged garlic extract reduces low attenuation plaque in coronary arteries of patients with diabetes: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. [PDF]

, 2020
Several previous studies have demonstrated that aged garlic extract (AGE) inhibits the progression of coronary artery calcification and non-calcified plaque (NCP) in the general population.

Echocardiography‐Assisted Stenting of the Ductus Venosus in Infracardiac TAPVC: Report of a New Technique and Review of the Literature

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
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.

Influence of the Residual Gensini Score on Prognosis of Patients With ST‐Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
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.
