Abstract A 75 year-old female with symptomatic severe mitral regurgitation of a bio-prosthetic valve secondary to valve leaflet perforation due to endocarditis underwent a mitral valve in valve replacement in an…
Abstract Suboptimal iliofemoral artery access requiring alternative trans-catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) access is still encountered in 10–20% of subjects undergoing TAVR. Attempting suboptimal vascular access may result in excessive…
Abstract Background Patients’ intra and post procedural comfort, quick recovery, as well as procedure success, are key elements for choosing the right arterial access site. Radial artery access has been…
Abstract Percutaneous coronary interventions involving coronary bifurcation lesions are more complex and associated with adverse outcomes (both angiographic and clinical) compared to non-bifurcation lesions. Tryton, a dedicated bifurcation stent, has…
Abstract The current iterations of balloon-expandable transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) valves consist of a maximum size of 29 mm, corresponding to maximum annulus area of 680 mm 2 . However, a…
Abstract Mitral valve repair is becoming an increasingly frequent surgery for patients with mitral valve regurgitation. Iatrogenic coronary artery injury and ischemic myocardial compromise have been previously reported in the…
Abstract Femoral artery pseudoaneurysms are usually the result of femoral artery cannulation for percutaneous cardiac or endovascular procedures. It causes compression of surrounding structures, may cause distal embolization, arteriovenous fistula…
Summary Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an under-recognised presentation of acute coronary syndrome. A high index of suspicion is essential. If diagnostic doubt is high, intracoronary imaging, performed carefully,…
Abstract We describe the first case of an endovascular repair for a pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta using the Valiant Navion EVO® low-profile thoracic endograft from Medtronic™. A successful outcome…
Abstract Atrial septal device occluders such as amplatzer occluder have been designed to close atrial septal defects of paten formal ovale. Off label use of this device has been reported…
