Radiation exposure during invasive cardiovascular procedures remains an important health care issue. Lead aprons and shields (LAS) are used to decrease radiation but leave large portions of the body unshielded. The Rampart IC M1128 is a portable shielding system that may significantly attenuate exposure.
Abstract Objectives We sought to evaluate the safety, efficacy and feasibility of same‐day discharge after uncomplicated, minimalist TAVR. Background At start COVID‐19 pandemic, we created a (SDD) pathway conscious sedation, transfemoral (minimalist) TAVR help minimize risk viral transmission conserve hospital resources. Studies support that next‐day (NDD) for carefully selected patients following is safe feasible. There paucity data regarding safety SDD Methods In‐hospital 30 day outcomes...
Objective: Percutaneous vegetation debulking has been reported to treat tricuspid valve infective endocarditis (TVIE), but data on feasibility compared with conventional surgical strategies are limited. We aimed compare short-term outcomes of suction partial venovenous bypass open surgery in this population. Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study that included all patients isolated TVIE who underwent or between January 2010 and December 2022. Patient characteristics,...
Background: Intentional laceration of the anterior mitral leaflet (LAMPOON) is an effective adjunct to transcatheter valve replacement that prevents left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. To date, LAMPOON has been performed in over 150 patients using a retrograde approach can be technically challenging. A modified antegrade transseptal technique may simplify procedure. Methods: Antegrade was developed and tested nonsurvival pig experiments. Thereafter, at prohibitive risk LVOT...
Importance Historically, women with aortic stenosis have experienced worse outcomes and inadequate recognition compared to men, being both underdiagnosed undertreated, while also facing underrepresentation in clinical trials. Objective To determine whether small annuli undergoing transcatheter valve replacement better hemodynamic a self-expanding (SEV) or balloon-expandable (BEV). Design, Setting, Participants The Small Annuli Randomized Evolut SAPIEN Trial (SMART) was large-scale randomized...
Valve-in-valve (ViV) transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVRs) are being performed more frequently in patients with degenerated bioprosthetic AVRs at high-risk for redo surgery. Antiplatelet (AP) and anticoagulation (AC) strategies after these procedures not well established. This study examines changes mean gradients (MG) on different antithrombotic following ViV TAVR. Patients undergoing TAVRs from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2022 our center were included. Changes...
Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) in patients with a congenital or acquired abnormality resulting enlarged right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) is challenging and may preclude treatment dedicated devices. We describe technique using physician-modified endograft to facilitate TPVR.Six underwent endograft-facilitated TPVR for severe symptomatic insufficiency RVOT. The fenestration was created commercially available before implantation, which then deployed from the dominant...
Postinfarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a catastrophic complication of myocardial infarction. Surgical repair still has poor outcomes. This report describes clinical outcomes after novel hybrid transcatheter/surgical in patients with apical VSD.
