The Incidence, Severity and Clinical Consequence of Left Pulmonary Artery Stenosis After PDA Device Closure in Premature Infants Less Than 2 Kilograms

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) device closure is an effective treatment option for premature infants with hemodynamically significant PDA. Left pulmonary artery (LPA) stenosis has been reported as a complication, however there is limited data on risk factors, clinical significance, and long‐term outcomes.

Novel Use of Intravascular Lithotripsy for the Mobilization of an Entrapped Coronary Guidewire in a Heavily Calcified LAD/DB Bifurcation Lesion—A Case Report

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 64‑year‑old man with a Non–ST‑elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) underwent coronary angiography, which revealed single‑vessel disease with a high‑grade proximal and a severely calcified mid‑LAD lesion just proximal to a diagonal branch (DB). Both the LAD and the DB were wired.
