Drug‐coated balloons: From conventional designs to next‐generation innovations in vascular therapy

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
This review traces the evolution of drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) from conventional designs to next‐generation platforms. We highlight innovations in balloon engineering, coating technologies, and therapeutic agents that enhance localized drug delivery while addressing challenges in efficiency, safety, and biocompatibility for vascular and emerging non ...

Maximizing Neurovascular Outcomes of Facial Transplantation: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Facial transplantation is a division of reconstructive surgery which aims to improve the function and appearance of a face that has endured severe disfigurement. Currently, the face transplant procedure uses allogenic tissue, harvested from a brain‐dead donor, to replace damaged facial components.

Photogrammetric Reconstruction of 3D Human Anatomical Structures and Augmented Reality via Smartphone Technology

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Limited access to cadavers necessitates the availability of digital resources for anatomy education. Smartphone‐based photogrammetry offers a promising solution for creating three‐dimensional (3D) and augmented reality (AR) models. This study compared two mobile photogrammetry applications (Qlone and Polycam) that have been used in modern ...

A Novel 3D Wiring Technique—ZOLUTION Zero Degree OverLap View Universal Three DimensIONal CTO Wiring

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present a novel simple and easy‐to‐use 3D wiring technique for coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) named ZOLUTION—Zero OverLap View Universal Three dimensIONal wiring. ZOLUTION can be used for: (1) Distal cap puncture, (2) CTO body wiring, (3) Retrograde wiring, and (4) Reverse controlled antegrade and retrograde tracking (reverse CART)

Around and Through: Successful Mitral Paravalvular Leakage Closure Using Both Anterograde and Retrograde Approaches

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a recognized complication after surgical mitral valve replacement and may cause heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, or hemolysis when moderate or severe. Although redo surgery is the definitive treatment, it carries substantial risk in elderly patients or those with multiple prior cardiac surgeries.

Variability in ACT Response to Standard UFH Bolus During PCI: A Prospective Study on Determinants of Subtherapeutic Anticoagulation

open access: yesCatheterization 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.

Successful Revascularization of Chronic Total Occlusions in Patients With Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Disease

open access: yesCatheterization 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 ...

Malposition of a Port Catheter in the Azygos Vein: Endovascular Repositioning Using a Long Loop Snare Technique

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Port catheters provide a reliable, long‐term venous access option in children for repeated administration of medications or parenteral nutrition. A cardiac catheterization procedure was performed in a 7‐year‐old girl in whom lateral chest radiography revealed posterior deviation suggestive of azygos vein malposition.
