Transesophageal Echocardiography: Not for Everyone? [PDF]

Stroke, 2007
To the Editor: We read with interest the article by de Bruijn et al comparing transesophageal and transthoracic echocardiography (TEE versus TEE) for the evaluation of TIA or stroke.1 We congratulate the investigators on this important study. TEE proved superior to TTE for identification of a cardiac embolic source in patients with TIA or …

Feasibility and Safety of Transfemoral Aortic Valve Replacement Using Local Anesthesia in the Catheterization Suite Versus General Anesthesia in the Operation Theater

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background For over a decade, transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TF‐TAVR) have been performed at the University Hospital of Nancy. A minimalistic approach to TF‐TAVR, conducted without general anesthesia and entirely percutaneously in a catheterization suite (simplified approach), has been reported to be as safe and ...

3D echocardiography allows rapid and accurate surgical planning in complex aortic root abscess cases [PDF]

, 2019
Despite 3D echocardiography (3DE) acquiring significantly greater data than standard 2D echocardiography (2DE), it is underutilised in assessing cardiac anatomy and physiology.

Validation of Coronary Wire for the Acquisition of Intracoronary Electrocardiogram in Swine

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We report the first in‐literature animal experiment to validate the intracoronary ECG signal acquired from a coronary wire compared with the direct signal from an epicardial electrode. Methods An animal model study was performed in a 40 kg pig.

Left atrial anomalous muscular band as incidental finding during video-assisted mitral surgery [PDF]

, 2018
Congenital fibromuscular bands have been described inleft ventricle or right atrium and have been diagnosed by echocardiography and CT scan. The first report of anomalous band in the left atrium was described in 1897 by Rollestone (1).

Noncoronary Sinus Pivot Implantation (NCPI) Strategy for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement With Self‐Expanding Valve in Pure Native Aortic Regurgitation: A Multicenter, Registry Study From the CCA Database‐NTCVR

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for pure native aortic regurgitation (PNAR) remains challenging. While the noncoronary sinus pivot implantation (NCPI) strategy showed promise with VitaFlow valve, its efficacy with other valves needs validation. Aims This study aims to evaluate the real‐world efficacy of the TaurusElite

Disappearance of Spontaneous Echographic Contrast after Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty: An Indicator of Sustained Hemodynamic Improvement [PDF]

, 1990
In three patients undergoing mitral balloon valvuloplasty for mitral stenosis transesophageal echocardiography was performed before, immediately after, and 6 months after the procedure. In the one patient with persistent hemodynamically favorable result,

Patent foramen ovale and thromboembolic complications [PDF]

, 2010
The foramen ovale, an atrial septal defect which is essential in the fetal circulation, remains patent through adulthood in approximately 25% of the general population and so it represents the most common persistent abnormality of fetal origin.

Analysis of outcomes in patients with HeartMate 3 with and without right ventricular assist device support

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Temporary RVAD support following HM3 LVAD is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Temporary RVAD support occurs most frequently in INTERMACS 1 or 2 patients and those who require pre‐operative VA‐ECMO. In addition to higher post‐operative mortality, a significantly higher risk of both dialysis and stroke at 1 year post‐implant was observed in ...
