Abstract With the increasing number of complex coronary interventions, there has been an increase in the incidence of device fractures and dislodgements. We report 2 cases of successful retrieval of…
Abstract Our case reports the first migration of a stent already deployed at high pressure in the main vessel during a 2-stent strategy for a bifurcation lesion using T and…
Abstract Transcatheter aortic valve replacement remains challenge in patients with ball-cage-type mechanical valve in mitral position. Potential under-expansion of the percutaneous valve and interaction between the mitral ball-cage mechanical valve…
Abstract The left atrial dissection is a very infrequently encountered complication after valve replacement and never seen after Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We present an 84-year-old female, who underwent…
Abstract Repeat myocardial revascularization procedures are markedly different from de novo interventions, with increased procedural risk and technical-demanding complexity. However the number of patients previously treated with coronary artery bypass…
Abstract Objectives The aim was to create a model of myocardial infarction with a borderline myocardial impairment which would enable evaluation of the retrograde cellular cardiomyoplasty through the venous coronary…
Abstract Background Accurate assessment of cardiac output (CO) is essential for the hemodynamic assessment of valvular heart disease. Estimation of oxygen consumption (VO 2 ) and thermodilution (TD) are employed…
Abstract Objectives To compare incidence of aortic regurgitation (AR), paravalvular AR and valvular performance with Doppler hemodynamic parameters following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with Edwards valve (EV) versus CoreValve…
Abstract Purpose Second-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) have shown a better safety and efficacy as compared to first generation DES due to an improved vascular healing process. This process has not…
Abstract Background The association of bleeding avoidance strategy (BAS) (consisting of a combination of radial access, bivalirudin [rather than heparin +/− glycoprotein GPIIb/IIIa antagonists], and/or vascular closure devices after femoral…
