Abstract Background Ischemic cardiomyopathy, commonly attributable to coronary artery disease, leads to ventricular remodeling. Surgical ventricular reconstruction (SVR) aims to reverse this by restoring cardiac morphology. This review evaluates SVR’s…
Highlights • This case provides a unique approach for left atrial appendage occlusion using a Watchman and Amulet device. • Our technique for left atrial appendage occlusion shows the safety…
Abstract The American Society of Echocardiography recommendations published in 2024 for evaluating prosthetic heart valve (PHV) function with cardiovascular imaging include new recommendations for the use of cardiac magnetic resonance…
Abstract Permanent pacemaker implantation (PPMI) is an important complication following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The influence of valvular and subvalvular calcium and its distribution between aortic leaflets on the…

Abstract Background The ALLEGRA (Biosensors International) transcatheter heart valve is a self-expanding supra-annular bovine pericardial aortic valve. A new delivery system (IMPERIA™, Biosensors International) has been designed which allows the…
Abstract Background Effective orifice area (EOA) is flow dependent. However, established methods for the assessment of predicted prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) do not consider flow status and therefore may underestimate the…
