There are limited head-to-head randomised trials comparing the performance of different transcatheter heart valves (THVs).
In previous studies on the effect of renal stenting arterial hypertension, patients were selected mainly basis angiographic parameters artery stenosis. The aim present study was to evaluate whether translesional pressure gradients could identify with stenosis who might benefit from stenting.A total 53 consecutive hypertensive unilateral RAS scheduled for intervention recruited. Transstenotic measured at baseline and during maximal hyperemia, before stenting. Twenty-four-hour ambulatory blood...
Patients with heart failure (HF) are at high risk of unfavorable courses COVID-19. The aim this study was to evaluate characteristics and outcomes COVID-19 patients HF.Data hospitalized in a tertiary hospital Poland between March 2020 May 2021 laboratory-confirmed were analyzed. population divided into HF group (patients history HF) non-HF group.Out 2184 (65 ± 13 years old, 50% male), 12% had HF. from the older, more often males, comorbidities, dyspnea, pulmonary peripheral congestion,...
Thanks to advances in interventional cardiology technologies, catheter-directed treatment has become recently a viable therapeutic option the of patients with acute pulmonary embolism at high risk early mortality. Current transcatheter techniques allow for local fibrinolysis or embolectomy minimal complications. Therefore, these procedures can be considered high-risk as an alternative surgical when systemic thrombolysis is contraindicated ineffective. They are also intermediate-high-risk who...

The association between fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) and spontaneous cervical artery dissection (SCeAD) has been recognized, but the available evidence on this relationship is scant. Therefore, main goal of our study was to systematically evaluate FMD frequency, clinical characteristics vascular bed involvement in patients with SCeAD. Among 230 referred ARCADIA-POL study, 43 (mean age 44.1 ± 8.9 years; 15 men 28 women) SCeAD were referred. Also, 135 compared without Patients underwent:...
Abstract In view of the increasing prevalence aortic stenosis (AS) in ageing populations, identifying predictors favorable clinical response to transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI) is particular importance. Typically, more severe LV function impairment believed indicate less potential for improvement after eliminating cause disease. However AS, reversibility myocardial damage and its correlation with regression symptoms replacement are explored. It suggested that work (MW) indices...
The Impella percutaneous mechanical circulatory support device provides improved in treating patients with high-risk coronary interventions (HR-PCI) or cardiogenic shock. IMPELLA-PL is a multicenter registry developed to share clinical data and experiences using technology Poland. retrospective analysis conducted this study aims fill the knowledge gap of performance multivessel artery disease (CAD) depressed left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) (≤30%) treated HR-PCI. Retrospective were...
Abstract Aims We aimed to investigate the role of aortic valve tissue composition from quantitative cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTA) in patients with severe stenosis (AS) for differentiation disease subtypes and prognostication after transcatheter implantation (TAVI). Methods results Our study included 447 consecutive AS six high-volume centres reporting a prospective nationwide registry TAVI procedures (POL-TAVI), who underwent CTA before TAVI, 224 matched controls normal...
Abstract Background Extremely large aortic valve anatomy is one of the remaining limitations leading to exclusion patients for transcatheter replacement (TAVR). Aims The newly approved Myval 32 mm device designed use in annulus areas up 840 2 . Here we want share initial worldwide experience with device. Methods and Results Retrospective data were collected from 10 stenosis very annular (mean area 765.5 ), who underwent implantation heart at eight centers. Valve Academic Research...
Abstract One of the major pathomechanisms COVID-19 is interplay hyperinflammation and disruptions in coagulation processes, involving thrombocytes. Antiplatelet therapy (AP) by anti-inflammatory effect inhibition platelet aggregation may affect these pathways. The aim this study was to investigate if AP has an impact on in-hospital course medium-term outcomes hospitalized patients. population (2170 patients: mean ± SD age 60 19 years old, 50% male) divided into a group 274 patients receiving...
Background: A reduction in carotid artery blood flow (CABF) and ultimately wall shear stress (WSS) is a major driver of heightened peripheral chemoreceptor (PCh) activity animal models heart failure. However, it yet to be translated humans. To provide more insight into this matter, we considered severe aortic stenosis (AS) before after transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI) as human model body function under dramatically different hemodynamic conditions. Materials Methods: total 26 AS...
ABSTRACT Background THV is a standard treatment for elderly patients with severe AS, using either BE or self‐expanding (SE) THVs. While the Myval has demonstrated safety and efficacy, data on its latest iteration, Octacor, are limited. Aims To evaluate clinical performance of next‐generation Octacor balloon‐expandable (BE) transcatheter heart valve (THV) in severe, symptomatic native aortic stenosis (AS). Methods This observational, real‐world, multicenter study involved deemed suitable TAVR...
Impella is a percutaneous mechanical circulatory support device for treatment of cardiogenic shock (CS) and high-risk coronary interventions (HR-PCIs). IMPELLA-PL national retrospective registry Impella-treated CS HR-PCI patients in 20 Polish interventional cardiological centers, conducted from January 2014 until December 2021.
The angioplasty procedure is associated with a release of numerous factors triggering the local inflammatory reaction in vascular wall and leading thus to restenosis. In this study, we hypothesize that low-energy laser irradiation may exert beneficial effect by limiting process. A group 101 subjects (75 men 26 women, mean age: 59.1 ± 10.3) treated percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), were recruited study. While 52 patients (40 12 women) subjected intravascular (λ = 808 nm) dilated...
