Abstract Background and purpose A reduction in radiation doses at the catheterization laboratory, maintaining the quality of procedures is essential. Our objective was to analyze the results of a simple…
Abstract Aims The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of prior cardiovascular events (CVE) on outcome in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)….
Abstract Objective To compare early and late mortality of transfemoral (TF) and transapical (TA) transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) patients and assess predictors for mortality. Background Studies have shown conflicting…
Abstract Background/Purpose The clinical performance of bioresrobable scaffolds (BRSs) in bifurcation lesion is not well investigated so far and information can currently mostly be gleaned from the results of bench…
Abstract Background Previous studies reported conflicting results regarding the impact of incomplete revascularization on the outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We evaluated the association between residual SYNTAX score (RSS)…
Abstract Aims To establish the relationship between renal insufficiency, bleeding and prescription of cardiovascular medication. Methods and results This was a prospective, multi-center, cohort study of consecutive patients undergoing PCI…
Abstract History of prior coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) is a frequent scenario encountered in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis deemed inoperable and referred for transcatheter aortic valve replacement…
Abstract Transseptal puncture is increasingly utilized in electrophysiology and interventional cardiology. With a wide range of therapeutic indications, incidence of iatrogenic atrial septal defect (iASD) is likely to increase. However,…
Abstract Introduction Percutaneous endovascular revascularization requires the use of fluoroscopic guidance and radiopaque contrast. We present a successful intervention without the use of iodinated contrast. Case A 92-year-old man with…
Summary Stent fracture has been recognized as one cause of stent failure and has been associated with in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis, even in 2nd-generation drug-eluting stents. Given the wide…
