Evaluation of Treatment Response of Calcified Nodules and Nodular Calcified Lesions Using Mean Density on Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Calcified nodules (CN) and nodular calcifications (NC) present significant challenges during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) because of their protruding morphology and high rigidity, which often result in inadequate stent expansion and suboptimal procedural outcomes.

Graft patency of no-touch versus conventionally harvested saphenous vein conduits in coronary artery bypass grafting: A frequentist and Bayesian meta-analysis of randomized trialsCentral MessagePerspective

open access: yesJTCVS Open
Background: No-touch (NT) saphenous vein harvest is a technique that minimizes intimal injury and has been shown to improve patency. This study aimed to directly compare NT saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) to conventional skeletonized (CON) SVGs through a ...

Coronary Flow in Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy—Immediate Effects of Alcohol Septal Ablation

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is associated with alterations in coronary microvascular function which have variable pathophysiologic mechanisms, and variable reversibility acutely and chronically following alcohol septal ablation (ASA).

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Insertion/Deletion Polymorphism and Occlusion of Vein Grafts in Long-term Post-CABG

open access: yesمجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2012
Background: The relation between angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and cardiovascular diseases was reported previously but the role of this polymorphism and the occlusion of vein grafts in long-term post coronary ...

Interaction of Operator−Patient Sex on Peri‐Procedural Treatments and Major Coronary Outcomes After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There are limited data evaluating the association between operator−patient sex, and outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods We included 138,112 consecutive PCI procedures in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in England and Wales, 2017−2020.

Clinical Outcomes of the Allegra Transcatheter System in Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve Failure: A Multicentre Valve‐in‐Valve Registry

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The prevalence of bioprosthetic aortic valve failure is increasing due to the broader use of bioprosthetic valves, both surgical and transcatheter, and an ageing population. Registry data indicate a higher risk of coronary obstruction and elevated gradients following valve‐in‐valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI ...

Clinical Outcomes of Drug‐Eluting Stents and Drug‐Coated Balloons in Tortuous Small Coronary Lesions

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In small, tortuous coronary lesions, the long‐term comparative performance of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty versus drug‐eluting stent (DES) treatment remains uncertain, despite both strategies being widely used in contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) practice. Aims This study aimed to compare 3‐year clinical

Use of Intracoronary Pressure Wire Assessment and Association With Outcomes: Insights From the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society National Database

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite recommendations in international guidelines, Intracoronary pressure wire assessment (PWA) utilization remains limited in clinical practice. This study aims to describe (i) trends of PWA during Percutaneous coronary interventional (PCI), (ii) factors that predict its application, and (iii) association with in‐hospital ...

Five‐Year Clinical Outcomes of Biodegradable Versus Durable Polymer Drug‐Eluting Stents: A Propensity Score‐Matched Analysis of 4394 Patients

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Biodegradable‐polymer (BP) drug‐eluting stents (DES) were developed to mitigate potential late adverse events related to persistent durable polymers in durable‐polymer (DP) DES; however, contemporary long‐term real‐world comparative data remain limited. Aims We aimed to compare the 5‐year clinical outcomes of contemporary BP‐DES and
