Coronary Plaque Characteristics Assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography and Plasma Lipoprotein(a) Levels in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, but its influence on plaque characteristics at optical coherence tomography (OCT) evaluation is not fully understood. Aims This study seeks to explore the impact of Lp(a) levels on plaque morphology as assessed by OCT in a very high‐risk subset of patients ...

Closure of a Late‐Onset Iatrogenic Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm Caused by Erosion of an Apical Muscular VSD Device

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We report the case of a 3‐year‐old asymptomatic girl (12 kg, 96 cm) who was diagnosed with a large iatrogenic left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP) on follow‐up ultrasound, 14 months after apical muscular ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure with a 10 mm Amplatzer Muscular VSD occluder (Abbott, USA) due to device erosion.

Management of Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices in Patients With Severe Symptomatic Tricuspid Regurgitation—Proposed Algorithm and Selected Case Examples

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Management of severe TR includes treatment of the underlying cause(s), medical therapy and less commonly surgical tricuspid valve repair. Newer transcatheter tricuspid valve repair devices show promise for those patients who remain symptomatic with ...

Myocardial Infarction and All‐Cause Mortality Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Versus Conservative Treatment of Chronic Total Occlusions: A West Denmark Heart Registry Study

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic coronary total occlusions (CTO) represent a therapeutic challenge, and results of randomized clinical trials and observational studies comparing conservative treatment versus percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are underpowered.
