Anatomy of the Soft Palate and Its Role in Upper Airway Function: A Narrative Review

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soft palate is a complex anatomical structure, located at the posterior aspect of the oral and nasal cavities, able to dynamically create valve closure of the nasal and the oral cavities. Its precise movement is critical for speech, swallowing, and respiration. Despite its functional importance, detailed characterization of its constituent

Percutaneous Transaxillary Access for Large‐Bore Cardiovascular Interventions: Evidence, Technique, and Complication Management

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Percutaneous transaxillary access is an established alternative to transfemoral large‐bore arterial access for transcatheter structural heart interventions and mechanical circulatory support (MCS). Although useful for overcoming hostile iliofemoral anatomy and providing prolonged support and patient mobilization in case of MCS, the axillary ...

Validation of an Automated Artificial Intelligence‐Driven Planner for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Preprocedural planning with multislice computed tomography (MSCT) is an essential prerequisite for successful transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, preprocedural planning is time‐consuming and may contain clinically meaningful interobserver variability.
