Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the valent type of valvular heart disease, caused by primary leaflet lesions or annular dilatation secondary to left ventricular dysfunction. It can lead to a series of complications such as volume overload, exacerbated pulmonary congestion, and heart failure, significantly impacting patient prognosis ...

Procedural Outcome of Modern Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Proximal Chronic Total Occlusions
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Long‐term outcome in patients with chronic total occlusions (CTO) depends on the target vessel and proximity of the lesion. Aims To investigate of the target vessel was associated with procedural efficacy and safety in patients with proximal CTO lesions.

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Advanced heart failure (HF) remains a clinical challenge, and mitral transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair (M‐TEER) has emerged as a potential bridging strategy. Aims To describe the clinical outcomes of M‐TEER in a single‐center cohort of patients with advanced HF and to identify anatomical and clinical features potentially associated ...

Outcomes of Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) were excluded from major trials of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). Aim The objective of this study was to describe this population and evaluate outcomes after LAAO in patients with and without HFrEF.

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Unfractionated heparin (UFH) remains the standard anticoagulant during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), with guidelines recommending a target activated clotting time (ACT) of ≥250 s. However, despite receiving a standardized bolus dose, many patients fail to achieve this target.

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) leads to chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of the pulmonary arteries in a minority of patients. Treatment of CTOs with balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) may substantially improve patient hemodynamics but presents unique technical challenges and has previously been associated with a ...

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sinus venosus defect (SVD) is a rare congenital heart anomaly characterised by an abnormal communication between the atria, often associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC). Traditional surgical repair carries significant risks, prompting exploration into less invasive transcatheter approaches.
