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

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 ...

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

Catheterization 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.

Angioscopy Visualized a Residual Free‐Floating Thrombus in Mild Carotid Artery Stenosis Following Acute MCA Occlusion: A Case Report

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carotid free‐floating thrombus (CFFT) is a rare yet severe cause of the ischemic stroke. Early identification and appropriate management are crucial to prevent recurrent embolic events. A 76‐year‐old man experienced sudden left‐sided hemiparesis and dysarthria.

Transcatheter Repair of Sinus Venosus Defect Using a 12‐zig Covered Cheatham‐Platinum Stent in Large Superior Vena Cava—Right Atrium Junctions: Early Multicenter Experience

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.

Left Main Stem Perforation: Management Strategies in a Potentially Catastrophic Event

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Left main stem coronary perforation is a potentially fatal complication of percutaneous coronary intervention if not recognized early and treated emergently. Treating left main stem perforation can be challenging due to the significant hemodynamic effect of one of the important steps, namely balloon tamponade.

Unveiling the Microvasculature: The Index of Microcirculatory Resistance and Its Expanding Role in Cardiovascular Care

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) is a cutting‐edge, wire‐based tool that advances the capability assessment of coronary microvascular function. By utilizing distal coronary pressure and mean transit time under maximal hyperemia, IMR delivers consistent, reproducible insights into the microvasculature's dynamic health.

Portopulmonary hypertension practice patterns after liver transplantation

Liver Transplantation, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Portopulmonary hypertension (POPH) is a type of pulmonary arterial hypertension occurring exclusively in those with portal hypertensive liver disease. Liver transplantation (LT) can significantly improve outcomes. Current guidelines counsel against immediate adjustments to targeted therapy after LT and suggest routine echocardiography as ...

Echocardiography‐Assisted Stenting of the Ductus Venosus in Infracardiac TAPVC: Report of a New Technique and Review of the Literature

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neonates with infracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) frequently require urgent treatment. If surgical repair is contraindicated due to extreme prematurity, interventional stenting of the ductus venosus (DV) has been introduced successfully to postpone surgery.

Coronary fistula resembling patent ductus arteriosus

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2003
A 14-year-old girl, presenting with heart failure and a continuous murmur, similar to that of a patent arterial duct, was investigated using echocardiogram and cardiac catheterization revealing a left to right shunt throught a coronary artery fistulae ...

Two Central Nervous System Tumors in One Catheter Lab: Time to Rethink Radiation Protection

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Very little research has been done on the possible effects that repeated, frequent, and low‐dose ionizing radiation exposure has on the long‐term health of interventional cardiologists. Aims Following the diagnosis in the same year of two central nervous system tumors in two operators working in the same catheter laboratory, we ...
