ABSTRACT Background Treating ostial left circumflex artery (LCx) lesions in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for left main disease (LMD) remains a challenge. Despite recent recommendations for the use of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) in this lesion, there are concerns about crossover‐stenting from the left main trunk (LMT) to the left anterior ...

ABSTRACT Valve‐in‐valve (ViV) Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a valid treatment option in symptomatic patients with failed aortic bioprosthetic valves, most especially in those with intermediate, high or prohibitive risk of surgery. Due to the unique design of stentless bioprosthetic valves with absence of visible posts and

ABSTRACT Background Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is an innovative treatment for coronary artery calcification (CAC). Aims This study aimed to compare procedural and clinical outcomes of intracoronary imaging (ICI)‐guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus angiography‐guided PCI with IVL in patients with CAC.

Using Shockwave Lithotripsy to Treat Severe Calcified Mitral Stenosis in a Pregnant Woman
ABSTRACT Rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) with significant calcification presents challenges for both surgical and transcatheter interventions. Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) is often limited in these cases due to valve rigidity, increasing the risk of mitral regurgitation (MR).

ABSTRACT Background Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) has emerged as a promising treatment for heavily calcified coronary lesions. However, evidence regarding its effectiveness in calcific bifurcation lesions remains limited. Objective We aimed to evaluate the technical success and 1‐year clinical outcomes of IVL in calcified coronary bifurcation lesions.

Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Prior to Self‐Expanding TAVI: The BAVSE‐TAVI Registry
ABSTRACT Background Direct transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) approach is feasible and safe compared to predilatation‐TAVI. Certain clinical and computerized tomography (CT)‐based characteristics might indicate the need for balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) before TAVI, especially with self‐expanding valves.

Management of Lost Atherectomy Devices in the Coronary Arteries
ABSTRACT Rotational and orbital atherectomy are important tools to treat calcific coronary disease. Entrapment of an atherectomy device, that is, rotational atherectomy burr or orbital atherectomy crown, is a serious complication during atherectomy. Loss of an atherectomy device is a more challenging complication that usually follows device entrapment.

ABSTRACT Vasoplegic syndrome (VS) is a common complication after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The main pathophysiology mechanism of VS includes a systemic inflammatory response syndrome due to surgical trauma, release of pro‐inflammatory mediators caused by blood contact with foreign surfaces of heart‐lung machine (pump and tubing)

ABSTRACT Background Valve‐in‐valve (ViV) procedures are an established therapy. Self‐expanding (SE) supra‐annular transcatheter heart valves (THV) achieve superior hemodynamics compared to balloon‐expandable (BE) intra‐annular THV, but influence of stent design versus valve position remains unclear.
