Minimum Lumen Area Indexed to Left Ventricular Mass to Identify Functionally Significant Left Main Coronary Stenoses

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Diagnosing significant left main coronary artery (LMCA) stenoses based on anatomical criteria remains challenging. The ARMYDA FINISH multicenter study evaluated whether indexing intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)‐derived minimum lumen area (MLA) provides greater diagnostic accuracy than unindexed MLA for detecting ...

The Predictive Value of Quantitative Flow Ratio and Its Derived Angiographic Microvascular Resistance for Restenosis Following Drug‐Coated Balloon Angioplasty

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Initially, drug‐coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty was primarily employed for in‐stent restenosis (ISR) treatment. Over time, its indications have broadened to include de novo small‐vessel lesions and bifurcation lesions. However, there is a lack of effective strategies to reduce restenosis rates post‐DCB angioplasty.

Evaluating the impact of fractional flow reserve-guided percutaneous coronary intervention in intermediate coronary artery lesions on the mode of treatment and their outcomes: An Iranian experience

ARYA Atherosclerosis, 2015
BACKGROUND: Today, the fractional flow reserve (FFR) guides the physician to select suitable patients with intermediate severity coronary lesions in angiography that should be treated or not with stent. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of

Navigating the Uncertainties of Antithrombotic Therapy After Transcatheter Patent Foramen Ovale Closure: A Comprehensive Review

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The patent foramen ovale (PFO), present in 25% of the population, can cause paradoxical embolism and stroke. Transcatheter PFO closure is the gold standard for recurrent embolism with significant inter‐atrial shunting, with recent trials confirming its superiority in reducing ischemic stroke recurrence over medical therapy.

Comparative Analysis of the Feasibility of Myocardial Blood Flow Index Versus CT-FFR in the Diagnosis of Suspected Coronary Artery Disease

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
Background: Using fluid dynamic modeling, noninvasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) derived from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) data provides better anatomic and functional information than CCTA, with a high diagnostic and discriminatory

Cost‐Utility Analysis of Different Treatment Modalities in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Thai PCI Registry

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cost‐utility analyses of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) provide valuable insights into the economic value of these procedures. However, data is lacking, particularly in developing countries with limited resources. Aims This analysis aimed to compare the cost‐utility of different treatment modalities used for PCI patients

Metabolic changes during cardiac regeneration in the axolotl

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The axolotl is a prominent model organism of heart regeneration due to its ability to anatomically and functionally repair the heart after an injury that mimics human myocardial infarction. In humans, such an injury leads to permanent scarring. Cardiac regeneration has been linked to metabolism and the oxygenation state, but so far,

The difficult discussion on the deactivation of implantable cardioverter devices at the end of life: a systematic review

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 733-760, April 2025.
Abstract Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) reliably prevent death due to life‐threatening arrhythmias; this may become less relevant in people with more severe heart failure who are reaching the end of life (EOL). This review aimed to explore the ICD deactivation process and identify ethical issues, especially around the initiation of ...

Role of selenium in the pathophysiology of cardiorenal anaemia syndrome

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 770-780, April 2025.
Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) have multiple bidirectional mechanisms, and anaemia is one of the critical factors that are associated with the progression of the two disorders [referred to as cardiorenal anaemia syndrome (CRAS)].

Clinical usefulness of instantaneous wave-free ratio for the evaluation of coronary artery lesion with prior myocardial infarction: A multi-center study

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2020
Background: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is useful for assessing the functional significance of coronary artery stenosis, even in lesions with prior myocardial infarction (pMI).
