Clinical Impact of Adherence to Fractional Flow Reserve Guidance in Acute Coronary Syndrome

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is established to guide revascularization in stable coronary disease and non‐culprit lesions in acute coronary syndromes (ACS). However, real‐world adherence to FFR guidance across the spectrum of ACS presentations, including ambiguous culprit scenarios, remains incompletely characterized.

A Review of “Access to Care” Issues in Aortic Stenosis Patients: A Negative Report Card

Structural Heart
The identification and management of patients with aortic stenosis exist along a continuum that includes healthy living, latent progression, diagnosis, treatment, and posttreatment recovery.

Novel Use of Intravascular Lithotripsy for the Mobilization of an Entrapped Coronary Guidewire in a Heavily Calcified LAD/DB Bifurcation Lesion—A Case Report

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 64‑year‑old man with a Non–ST‑elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) underwent coronary angiography, which revealed single‑vessel disease with a high‑grade proximal and a severely calcified mid‑LAD lesion just proximal to a diagonal branch (DB). Both the LAD and the DB were wired.

Cryopreserved aortic homograft root replacement for supravalvular root stenosis in familial homozygous hypercholesterolemia

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disorder resulting in severe elevations of the total cholesterol that is frequently associated with complex aortic root stenosis and small aortic valve annulus.

Gutter Rotation Technique for Percutaneous Ipsilateral Retrieval of a Ruptured SAPIEN‐3 Balloon

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balloon rupture during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with balloon‐expandable valves is a rare but potentially serious complication that may result in incomplete valve expansion, difficult device retrieval, and vascular injury.

Transcarotid transcatheter aortic valve replacement combined with percutaneous coronary intervention for severe aortic stenosis with coronary artery disease in a tortuous aortic arch: a Case Report

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is currently the preferred treatment option not only for high-surgical-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) but also increasingly for those with intermediate and low surgical risk.

When Subtle Guiding Catheter‐Induced Stent Deformation Leads to Abluminal Guidewire Passage: Successful IVUS Tip‐Detection‐Guided Bailout

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Incomplete stent apposition at the proximal coronary artery may predispose to subtle guiding catheter–induced stent deformation, creating a gap between the stent and the vessel wall that facilitates inadvertent abluminal guidewire passage. We report a case in which balloon dilatation over an unrecognized abluminal guidewire resulted in severe ...

Spatial Mismatch Between Angiographic Obstruction and Plaque Destabilization in Acute Coronary Syndromes: A Conceptual Narrative Review

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The identification of the “culprit lesion” in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) traditionally relies on coronary angiography, assuming that the most severe stenosis, abrupt occlusion, or largest filling defect marks the site of plaque destabilization.

Mechanisms and Management of Acquired Aseptic Intracardiac Communications After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Single‐Center Case Series Insights

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Acquired aseptic intracardiac communications (AICCs) are rare but clinically relevant structural complications following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), typically resulting from mechanical injury to the aortic annulus, interventricular septum, or adjacent structures.

Early Experience With Evoque Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement in Carcinoid Heart Disease

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is nearly universal in carcinoid heart disease (CHD), but surgical replacement carries significant risk, and CHD was excluded from the landmark TRISCEND II trial. We present seven patients with CHD undergoing Evoque transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) at two tertiary centers.
