Learning Hemodynamic Scalar Fields on Coronary Artery Meshes: A Benchmark of Geometric Deep Learning Models [PDF]
Coronary artery disease, caused by the narrowing of coronary vessels due to atherosclerosis, is the leading cause of death worldwide. The diagnostic gold standard, fractional flow reserve (FFR), measures the trans-stenotic pressure ratio during maximal vasodilation but is invasive and costly.

Utilization of translesional hemodynamics: comparison of pressure and flow methods in stenosis assessment in patie [PDF]
Aim of this study is the assessment of feasibility and clinical usefulness of a new index of stenosis severity, the slope of the instantaneous transstenotic pressure gradient/velocity relationship.

Pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation as a predictor of functional severity of coronary stenosis [PDF]
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the functional significance of coronary stenosis by analyzing low-level radiomic features of the pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) surrounding the lesions, which are indicative of its inflammation status. Methods: A dataset of 72 patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) was analyzed,

Validation of a new noninvasive method (contrast-enhanced transthoracic second harmonic echo Doppler) for the evaluation of coronary flow reserve Comparison with intracoronary Doppler flow wire [PDF]
OBJECTIVESWe tested the hypothesis that coronary flow reserve (CFR) in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) as assessed by a new noninvasive method (contrast-enhanced transthoracic second harmonic echo Doppler) is in agreement with CFR ...

ABSTRACT Background Venous outflow is the favored access for endovascular management of dialysis fistulas. However, transradial access (TRA) offers advantages in specific clinical scenarios. The study aims to compare the efficacy, feasibility, and safety of TRA and transvenous access (TVA) in the endovascular management of malfunctioning dialysis ...

An automated and time efficient framework for simulation of coronary blood flow under steady and pulsatile conditions [PDF]
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the gold standard for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD). FFRCT uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to evaluate FFR non-invasively by simulating coronary flow in geometries reconstructed from computed tomography (CT).
