Closure of a Late‐Onset Iatrogenic Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm Caused by Erosion of an Apical Muscular VSD Device

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We report the case of a 3‐year‐old asymptomatic girl (12 kg, 96 cm) who was diagnosed with a large iatrogenic left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP) on follow‐up ultrasound, 14 months after apical muscular ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure with a 10 mm Amplatzer Muscular VSD occluder (Abbott, USA) due to device erosion.

Automatic Detection of Pulmonary Embolism using Computational Intelligence [PDF]

arXiv, 2007
This article describes the implementation of a system designed to automatically detect the presence of pulmonary embolism in lung scans. These images are firstly segmented, before alignment and feature extraction using PCA. The neural network was trained using the Hybrid Monte Carlo method, resulting in a committee of 250 neural networks and good ...

Oscillation dynamics of embolic microspheres in flows with red blood cell suspensions

, 2012
Dynamic nature of particle motion in blood flow is an important determinant of embolization based cancer therapy. Yet, the manner in which the presence of high volume fraction of red blood cells influences the particle dynamics remains unknown.

Steerable Delivery Sheath for Optimized LAA Closure: First Experience and Procedural Outcomes

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The new Amplatzer Steerable Delivery Sheath is a delivery system designed to improve ease‐of‐use and procedural results of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). We aimed to compare procedural results after switching our LAAC program at a tertiary care center with the Amulet device to the Steerable Delivery Sheath, with a control ...

Emergent Cardiac Surgery After Transcatheter Structural Heart Procedures: Narrative Review

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transcatheter structural heart procedures have become standard therapy for elderly patients with high surgical risk. Over time, these procedures have significantly increased worldwide, accompanied by a concomitant reduction of major complications, including those requiring emergent cardiac surgery (ECS).

Single injection dual phase CBCT technique ameliorates results of trans-arterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular cancer [PDF]

, 2017
Cone-beam CT (CBCT) application to the field of trans-arterial chemoembolization has been recently the focus of several researches. This imaging modality is performed with a rotation of the C-arm around the patient, without needs of patient repositioning.

Safety and Efficacy of a Plug‐Based Vascular Closure Device After Percutaneous Microaxial Flow Pump in the Treatment of Complex and High‐Risk Indicated Patients

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Femoral large‐bore vascular access is an important and constantly increasing technique in interventional treatment. Temporary circulatory support in complex and high‐risk indicated patients (CHIP) presents a challenge in terms of postinterventional access site closure.
