Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether transfemoral implantation of the balloon‐expandable Edwards SAPIEN 3 device without prior balloon valvuloplasty is feasible.
Objectives: To evaluate a new transapical system which utilizes a novel designed positioning element and a two‐step positioning mechanism for easy and accurate implantation of transcatheter valves.
We describe the case of a 5‐month‐old baby with a pro‐coagulative condition, referred for rapid atrial tachycardia. At echocardiography we found a large free‐floating atrial thrombus that spontaneously embolized into the descending aorta and produced acute sub‐renal occlusion. Aorta and iliac vessels were cleared using the ADO II additional sizes device. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to define the feasibility and clinical impact of complying with national consensus recommendations on perioperative management of antiplatelet therapy in patients with coronary stents undergoing cardiac and noncardiac surgery.
Background: Although the retrograde approach has improved the success rate and procedural efficiency of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), it can still be challenging and time‐consuming. We introduce a novel technique that aims to facilitate the critical step of retrograde wire externalization during reverse controlled antegrade and retrograde tracking and dissection (CART), which we named DRAFT (Deflate, Retract and Advance into the Fenestration Technique).
Background: Provisional stenting of the side‐branch (SB) is the universally accepted gold standard while there is still controversy on the usefulness of routine dilatation of the SB ostium. Recrossing the struts of a previously deployed stent with a wire and a balloon can prove challenging and is occasionally unsuccessful, mainly because the balloon tip hits a stent strut. This prospective multicenter international registry tested the crossing ability procedural results of a new‐dedicated ultrashort balloon specifically designed for side branch dilatation (Glider, TriReme Medical, Pleasanton, CA, USA).
Prompt recognition of acute right ventricular failure is essential in order to provide timely hemodynamic support. We report a case of a patient with severe mitral regurgitation complicated by cardiogenic shock that failed to improve with left ventricular support alone. The recognition of concomitant right ventricular failure led to the addition of a right ventricular support device, resulting in dramatic hemodynamic improvement. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Background: Women comprise almost 50% of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and previous studies have indicated higher rates of procedural complications and bleeding in women compared to men. It is unknown whether men and women demonstrate a differential response to bivalirudin versus unfractionated heparin (UFH) in TAVR. We sought to evaluate outcomes by sex and type of anticoagulant from the Bivalirudin Versus Heparin Anticoagulation in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (BRAVO‐3) trial of transfemoral TAVR.
The Solitaire stent is a self‐expanding nitinol, fully retrievable stent that was originally designed for applications in cerebral circulation. Expanded indications for its use in mechanical embolectomy during acute ischemic stroke have proven safe and effective. Herein, we describe a novel use of this stent to perform a mechanical thrombectomy of a large left main coronary artery thrombus.
Objective: We sought to assess the angiographic and long‐term clinical outcomes in a predominantly medically treated population with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD).
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate midterm outcomes of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) implanted in bifurcation lesions.
Objective: To compare second generation drug eluting stents (2DES) with first generation (1DES) for the treatment of patients (pts) with multiple coronary vessel disease (MVD).
Objectives: We sought to identify angiographic predictors of 2‐year stent thrombosis (ST) in the ADAPT‐DES study.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the long‐term outcomes following mini‐crush versus culotte stenting with drug‐eluting stents (DES) for the treatment of unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease.
Objectives: To evaluate the long‐term prognostic value of risk scores in the setting of drug‐eluting stent (DES) implantation for uLMCA.
