What does it mean? Translating anatomical language to engage public audiences

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The language of anatomy, with its roots in Ancient Greek and Roman languages, is complex and unfamiliar to many. Its complexity creates a significant barrier to public knowledge and understanding of anatomy—many members of the public find themselves asking “what does it mean?”, and this can manifest as poor health literacy and outcomes.

Using Shockwave Lithotripsy to Treat Severe Calcified Mitral Stenosis in a Pregnant Woman

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) with significant calcification presents challenges for both surgical and transcatheter interventions. Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) is often limited in these cases due to valve rigidity, increasing the risk of mitral regurgitation (MR).

Early Stroke Volume Variation After Transcatheter or Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement Predicts Clinical Outcomes in Low‐Flow Aortic Stenosis

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Little is known about stroke volume index (SVi) change and its prognostic implication in patients with low‐flow aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) and conflicting results are present in literature. The aim of this study was to evaluate the postoperative change in SVi and its impact on outcomes in patients
