Vessel Fractional Flow Reserve (vFFR) as assessed by three-dimensional quantitative coronary angiography has high correlation with pressure wire-based fractional flow reserve in both a pre- and post-PCI setting. The present study aims to assess the prognostic value of vFFR on incidence target vessel failure (TVF), composite endpoint cardiac death, myocardial infarction revascularization (TVR) at 5-year follow up.Post-PCI was calculated after routine PCI total 748 patients (832 vessels)...
Quantitative aortography using videodensitometry is a valuable tool for quantifying paravalvular regurgitation after TAVI, especially in the minimalist approach - without general anaesthesia. However, retrospective assessment of aortograms showed moderate feasibility assessment. We sought to determine prospective quantitative protocol acquisition.This was multicentre registry Japan, Canada, Netherlands and Germany including consecutive patients with Heart Team indication undergo TAVI over...
To compare stent recoil (SR) of the thin-strut durable-polymer Zotarolimus-eluting (dp-ZES) and ultrathin-strut bioabsorbable-polymer Sirolimus-eluting (bp-SES) in chronic total occlusions (CTOs) to investigate predictors high SR CTOs.Newer ultrathin drug eluting might be associated with lower radial force higher elastic due thinner strut design, possibly impacting on rate in-stent restenosis thrombosis.Between January 2017 November 2019, consecutive patients CTOs undergoing percutaneous...
Abstract Objectives To study the safety and feasibility of a restrictive temporary‐RV‐pacemaker use to evaluate need for temporary pacemaker insertion failed left ventricular (LV) pacing ability (no capture) or occurrence high‐degree AV‐blocks mandating continuous pacing. Background Ventricular remains an essential part contemporary transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). A temporary‐right‐ventricle (RV)‐pacemaker lead is standard approach transient during TAVI but requires central...
To describe hemodynamic effects of iVAC2L mechanical circulatory support (MCS). MCS is increasingly used in the context high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The effect pulsatile on left ventricular loading conditions and myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) unknown. This prospective single-arm two-center study included 29 patients who underwent PCI with using simultaneous invasive pulmonary pressure monitoring pressure-volume analysis. Hemodynamic recordings were performed...
BACKGROUND:Calcium is a determinant of paravalvular leakage (PVL) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).This based on fixed contrast attenuation value while X-ray patient-dependent and without considering frame expansion PVL location.We examined the role calcium in (site-specific) TAVI using patientspecific coefficient combined with expansion.METHODS: 57 patients were included baseline CT, post-TAVI transthoracic echocardiography rotational angiography (R-angio).Calcium load...
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an established treatment for severe stenosis (AS); however, the transcatheter heart (THV) implantation depth (ID) associated with conduction disturbances and paravalvular leakage (PVL).1,2 The THV ID typically determined by invasive angiography in a plane perpendicular to native which 3 cusps are aligned (virtual) annulus can be identified as reference. However, there no universal consensus on measurement, angiography-based techniques have...
