Biventricular Pressure‐Volume Loop Analysis in an LVAD Patient Optimized With Impella RP Flex
ABSTRACT Right ventricular (RV) failure after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is a serious complication which may necessitate temporary mechanical support in refractory cases. Here we describe a 63‐year‐old man with end‐stage ischemic cardiomyopathy and severe combined pre‐ and post‐capillary pulmonary hypertension who developed ...

ABSTRACT The SAPIEN M3 system has been recently approved for transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). The transeptal guide sheath is used to deploy the dock, which is completely released before inserting and deploying the M3 valve using the same femoral access, transeptal puncture (TSP) and guide sheath.

ABSTRACT Background Cangrelor reduces thrombotic events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), with the advantage of rapid onset and offset. However, premature discontinuation may increase the risk of acute thrombosis for patients undergoing complex/high‐risk PCI (CHIP).

ABSTRACT Background Residual shunt is a known complication in percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure, and moderate to large residual shunt has been associated with an increased risk of recurrent stroke. Device‐related factors, such as device size, have been associated with residual shunt, but comparative data per device type are scarce.
