Diabetes is among the strongest predictors of outcome after coronary artery stenting and incidence negative outcomes still high in this specific group. Data long-term comparing diabetic patients with non-diabetic treated bioresorbable scaffolds are incomplete. This work evaluates implantation a scaffold (BRS) compared to non-diabetics. Patients who received at least one Absorb BRS time May 2012 December 2014 were enrolled into single-center registry. Quantitative angiography (QCA) was...

Abstract Background Heart failure (HF) is one of the leading causes hospitalization in elderly. Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), among other risk factors, linked to pathogenesis and clinical manifestations HF. Purpose This abstract aims summarize key findings from a comprehensive analysis CMD subgroups HF, shedding light on its association with hemodynamic parameters. Methods Patients experiencing recurrent angina (CCS II-IV) no relevant epicardial stenosis were enrolled prospective...
Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) after radiofrequency energy-mediated percutaneous pulmonary isolation as a treatment option for atrial fibrillation is serious complication and the prevalence in historical reports varies between 0% 42%. Symptoms of PVS are nonspecific can include general symptoms such dyspnea, cough, recurrent pneumonia, chest pain. Pathophysiologically it increases postcapillary pressure circuit may result hypertension (PH). Misdiagnosis delayed common. We here report case...
Cutibacterium acnes, an integral component of the skin's customary bacterial flora, represents a Gram-positive anaerobic bacterium characterized by its low virulence. Despite virulence, pathogen can cause profound-seated infections as well linked to medical devices. We report case study prosthesis endocarditis accompanied paraaortic abscess caused C. development occurring five years prior composite aortic root and valve replacement. At point admission, patient presented with combination...
Zusammenfassung Die pulmonale Hypertonie in Verbindung mit Linksherzerkrankungen (PH-LHD) bildet der klinischen Klassifikation die Gruppe 2 pulmonalen ab. Hämodynamisch zählt zu dieser isoliert postkapilläre (IpcPH) und gemischt post- präkapilläre (CpcPH). PH-LHD ist durch einen mPAP > 20 mmHg PAWP 15 definiert, zur Differenzierung zwischen IpcPH CpcPH wird pulmonalvaskuläre Widerstand (PVR) dem Grenzwert von Wood Units (WU) herangezogen. Ein PVR größer 5 WU weist auf eine dominierende...
Abstract Introduction Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is the result of an insufficient coaptation valve leaflets lacking relevant degeneration or morphological alterations apparatus. In most patients, this caused by left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and remodelling (ischemic non-ischemic). However, a small subset FMR patients seen in context atrial (LA) enlargement due to isolated dilation absence pathology has been termed “atrial functional MR” (AFMR) as distinct etiology...
Abstract Introduction Diabetes mellitus (DM) represents a notable risk factor after surgical and interventional procedures but data on the influence of DM long-term survival Transcatheter Edge-to-edge Repair (TEER) for Mitral valve Regurgitation (MR) are sparse. Purpose To compare outcome patients with without TEER. Methods Retrospective monocentric assessment successful treatment MR by TEER (exclusion combined forms transcatheter repair) between 06/2010 03/2018. Patients were stratified at...
Abstract Background A symptomatic and prognostic benefit by Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for mitral regurgitation (MR) has been proven. variety of individual factors including female sex suggested to be associated with adverse outcome in cardio-surgical procedures. Purpose While gender is factored common risk factor models outcome, evidence on sex-specific differences long-term after TEER MR limited. We aimed investigate the impact prognosis a large monocentric cohort follow-up....
