Patient-specific image-based computer simulation for theprediction of valve morphology and calcium displacement after TAVI with the Medtronic CoreValve and the Edwards SAPIEN valve [PDF]
AIMS: Our aim was to validate patient-specific software integrating baseline anatomy and biomechanical properties of both the aortic root and valve for the prediction of valve morphology and aortic leaflet calcium displacement after TAVI.

MORPHOLOGICAL STUDY OF CORONARY OSTIA
Objective: To study the normal and variant anatomy of the coronary artery ostia in south Indian population. Introduction: Sudden cardiac deaths, especially in young are on the rise in recent days. Of all causes for sudden cardiac death, anomalous origins of coronary arteries also comprise a significant percentage.

Automatic aortic root landmark detection in CTA images for preprocedural planning of transcatheter aortic valve implantation [PDF]
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is currently a well-established minimal invasive treatment option for patients with severe aortic valve stenosis. CT Angiography is used for the pre-operative planning and sizing of the prosthesis.

Electro-anatomical mapping of the left atrium before and after cryothermal balloon isolation of the pulmonary veins [PDF]
Introduction: The 28 mm cryoballoon catheter is a device used for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent of the ablation in the antral regions of the left atrium.

Use of balloon catheter dilation vs. traditional endoscopic sinus surgery in management of light and severe chronic rhinosinusitis of the frontal sinus: a multicenter prospective randomized study [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) of the frontal sinus is a complex pathological condition and many surgical techniques were described to treat this area endoscopically, like traditional endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and balloon catheter dilation (
