Abstract A 62-year old male underwent treatment of a bifurcation lesion in the left anterior descending coronary artery using provisional stenting with a jailed wire technique. Severe longitudinal stent deformation…
Abstract We describe a challenging case of successful use of emergent veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation with a Sapien S3 valve. Highlights • Valve-in-valve TAVR…
Abstract Endocardial mapping of the left ventricle (LV) using the NOGA® XP Cardiac Navigation System can identify chronically ischemic and viable myocardium in patients with coronary artery disease by generating…
Abstract The management of coronary thrombus is not well defined. Current therapies include medical management with anticoagulation, antiplatelet, and thrombolytic therapies or revascularization with percutaneous coronary interventions including mechanical thrombectomy,…
Abstract Severe radial artery spasm is a complication of transradial cardiac catheterization. We describe a case of severe radial artery spasm causing catheter entrapment. The spasm was refractory and resistant…
Highlights • During percutaneous interventions equipment related complications can occur. • This can be life-threatening especially in high risk procedures like TAVI. • We report severely kinked TAVI sheath in…
Abstract Stent placement guided by angiography alone is often inexact, but of increased importance with bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We describe a novel technique using optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided…
The fascinating case of the 76-year-old woman, reported by Y-Hassan [ ], with severe three-vessel coronary artery disease who suffered acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with associated takotsubo syndrome (TTS), reflects…
Thanks to Dr. Madias [ ] for his valuable and encouraging comments on the case of a 76-years-old woman who presented with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with severe 3-vessel disease…
Abstract Inherited disorders of lipid metabolism may cause a heavy burden of cardiovascular disease early in life. Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) with abnormalities of LDL metabolism results in marked LDL elevations…
