A Modified Technique for Converting Retrograde Femoral Artery Access to Antegrade Access With the Assistance of a Long Sheath

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Percutaneous femoral access serves as the cornerstone of endovascular therapy of lower extremity arterial disease. In complex cases, the arterial disease of lower extremity are involve in ipsilateral iliac artery pathology, which conventional treatment strategies typically require multiple punctures or staged procedures.

CT angiography for coronary graft assessment [PDF]

Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2018
We read with interest the article “CT angio for the evaluation of graft patency” by Di Lazzaro and Crusco (1) in the April 2017 issue of the Journal of Thoracic Disease. The authors describe technological advances of modern computed tomography (CT) systems as well as the high accuracy for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) assessment, making CT ...

Platelet FcɣRIIa Expression Refines Clinical Risk Assessment After Myocardial Infarction

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In patients with myocardial infarction (MI), quantifying expression of platelet FcɣRIIa (pFCG) stratifies risk of subsequent MI, stroke, and death. Aims Assess the prognostic implications of clinical risk alone and in combination with the pFCG test.

Computed Tomography Imaging in Aortic Dissection

Clinical Practice and Cases in Emergency Medicine, 2019
Emergency physicians often rely on a “triple-rule-out” computed tomography (CT) where image acquisition is timed to obtain image quality equivalent to dedicated coronary CT angiography, pulmonary CT angiography, and thoracic aorta CT angiography.

One Anatomy, Multiple Valve Choices: Interobserver Agreement in Selecting Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
Methodological framework among international observers to understand clinical decision‐making and interobserver agreement in TPVR planning. ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) requires selecting the optimal device type, size, and position. Variability in anatomical shape may affect procedural planning.

A study of coronary artery variants and anomalies observed at a tertiary care armed forces hospital using 64-slice MDCT

Indian Heart Journal, 2017
Background: Isolated coronary artery anomalies are usually clinically silent and mostly detected incidentally during angiography or autopsy. However, few of them may be implicated in cases of sudden cardiac death even in the absence of additional heart ...

Same‐Day Discharge After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Who, When, and How?

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The burden of severe aortic stenosis requiring treatment is growing due to ageing populations. This places increased demands on health resources due to the growing number of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures and hospital bed occupancy.

A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the TruSteer and FXD Double Curve Delivery Systems for Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion With the Watchman FLX Pro Device—The GUIDE‐LAAO Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Deflectable delivery systems have been introduced to enhance coaxial alignment and procedural efficacy during left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO), yet randomized comparisons with conventional fixed‐curve systems are lacking. Aims The GUIDE‐LAAO trial evaluated whether the TruSteer deflectable delivery system is non‐inferior to ...

Coronary CT angiography: State of the art

World Journal of Cardiology, 2013
Coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography has been recognized as the most rapidly developed imaging technique in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease due to the emergence and technological advances in multislice CT scanners. Coronary CT angiography has been confirmed to demonstrate high diagnostic and predictive value in coronary artery disease

Consecutive Emergency Carotid Artery Stenting and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in a Patient With Cardiogenic Shock: A Case Report

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Severe aortic stenosis (AS) carries a poor prognosis when symptomatic, particularly in cardiogenic shock (CS). Emergency transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is rarely performed but may represent a rescue therapy. Coexistent carotid artery stenosis (CAS) further increases procedural risk.
