Aims:The Xeltis aortic valve leaflets are made from a bioabsorbable supramolecular polymer that guides the tissue to restoring itself.It is mounted on self-expanding nitinol frame includes three feelers and native leaflet clipping mechanism.We sought investigate acute performance in preclinical setting.
The current standard of treatment valvular diseases with severe functional and/or clinical consequences is the repair or replacement valve, which usually surgical or, in specific scenarios, percutaneous. available prosthetic valves, however, are not a magic bullet physicians' arsenal for management diseases, since age-dependent structural valve deterioration (SVD) and need prolonged systemic anticoagulation case metallic valves inconsequential during lifespan patient an implanted valve....
We sought to compare the efficiency of novel EuroCTO (CASTLE) score with commonly used Multicentre CTO Registry in Japan (J-CTO) predicting procedural success percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusions (CTOs).We evaluated 660 consecutive PCIs (mean age 66±11 years, 84% male). The mean J-CTO and scores were 1.86±1.2 1.74±1.2, respectively. Antegrade wire escalation, antegrade dissection re-entry retrograde approach 82%, 14% 37% cases, Receiver operating...
Objectives: Use of intracoronary imaging (ICI) in cases stent thrombosis (ST) is recommended and tailored treatment appears reasonable. Nevertheless, data supporting such a strategy are lacking. The aim this study was to evaluate the clinical impact ICI management ST. Methods: unadjusted population consecutive patients with definite ST presenting single tertiary cardiac centre undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). presumed major mechanism assigned according real-time...
Abstract Objectives We sought to evaluate mortality predictors and the role of new‐generation drug‐eluting stents (NG‐DES) in stent thrombosis (ST) management. Background No data are available regarding outcome patients with ST after interventional management that includes exclusively NG‐DES. Methods Patients definite DES or BMS who underwent urgent/emergent angiography between 2015 2018 at our institution were considered for study. After excluding achieved TIMI‐flow<2 intervention...
Intracardiac knotting of balloon-tipped flow-directed catheters during a heart catheterization procedure represents rare but serious complication. In case that such an event occurs, leading to inability remove the catheter, various different methods have been described solve problem, varying from least invasive open surgery. The formation large knots requires surgical removal in vast majority cases. We describe successful nonsurgical Swan-Ganz after double knot, right performed without...
We aimed at evaluating the long-term effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in nonambulatory New York Heart Association (NYHA) IV heart failure patients (NAIVHFP).Eighteen patients, 15 men and three women, eight with ischemic 10 nonischemic cardiomyopathy, who underwent biventricular pacemaker implantation while they were NYHA class, studied. Patients' age was 58 ± 9 years left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 18 3%. Follow-up data obtained through review follow-up visits...
Introduction: It is well recognized that a lesion does not cause hemodynamically significant stenosis can trigger sudden cardiac event through plaque rupture. As diagnostic tool, intravascular imaging was developed to circumvent limitations of coronary angiography; however, none the devices are individually able provide complete assessment morphology, geometry, physiology and biology. Therefore, over past few years an effort made develop hybrid catheters more evaluation pathobiology.Areas...
Abstract Objectives and Background We attempted to test the feasibility of application MADS classification system in largest stent trial date evaluate preliminary clinical implications this approach. Methods In randomized GLOBAL LEADERS trial, testing two different antiplatelet strategies patients undergoing PCI with bivalirudin biolimus‐eluting stents, e‐CRF was dedicated bifurcation treatment according classification. Based on e‐CRF, techniques used for bifurcations were described compared...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of cardiovascular death in octogenarians. This group patients represents nearly a fifth all treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) real-world practice. Octogenarians have multiple risk factors for CAD and often greater myocardial ischemia than younger counterparts, potential an increased benefit from revascularization. Despite this, octogenarians are routinely under- -treated belittled clinical trials. Age does make...
Bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) were designed more than 30 years ago to overcome the disadvantages related permanent implantation of a metallic stent and, at present, number these devices have obtained CE mark on basis midterm follow-up studies. However, although BRS already been introduced into clinical practice, intensive research is ongoing worldwide clarify their long-term safety and effectiveness. This type has captivated interest cardiovascular community after recent publication data...
