The presence of severe calcific atherosclerosis at the iliofemoral axis may preclude transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) by transfemoral (TF) approach. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a novel technology that fractures intimal/medial calcium and increases vessel compliance allowing TF TAVI in selected patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD).The aim this study was to report on safety efficacy IVL-assisted an all-comers population.Clinical, imaging procedural data all...
The prognostic impact of functionally significant coronary artery disease, as assessed with quantitative flow ratio (QFR), in patients severe aortic stenosis treated transcatheter valve replacement is unknown.
Some forms of early ECG repolarization QRS pattern (ERp) with J-point elevation 0.1 mV in two contiguous inferior and/or lateral leads or without ST-elevation are potentially associated a higher arrhythmic risk adults. We assessed the prevalence ERp among non-professional adolescent athletes and correlated it age, sex, ethnicity, structural electric cardiac parameters. retrospectively analyzed 414 ECGs obtained from young referred to our center 2006 2017. found 22% cases. In group, we...
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The multicentre, prospective Lipid-Rich Plaque trial (LRP) examined non-culprit (NC) non-obstructive coronary segments a combined near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheter. This study assessed the differences in NC plaque characteristics their influence on major adverse cardiac events (MACE) diabetic non-diabetic patients.Patients known DM status were divided into no...
Abstract Background Extra–coronary involvement is identified in more than 50% of patients presenting with SCAD, mainly as fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) pattern. This association might suggest that they share at least partially some pathomechanisms. However, no recommendations on FMD screening SCAD exist to date international consensus documents, and this therefore left clinician discretion. Aim We sought determine the rate historical cohort our institution. Methods Observational...

Abstract Background Some patients with acute heart failure (AHF) are initially treated noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Today, it is not full explored the prognosis of subjects hospitalized AHF and NIV. Methods We retrospectively evaluated between 2022 2023 in intensive care unit. determined association mortality at 90–days using Cox proportional hazard Kaplan–Meier analyses. Results included 191 who were AHF. Ninenty–days occurred 24% subjects. Seventy–five NIV (32%) showed higher when...
The presence of metastatic cancer represents a high-risk condition for the treatment heart disease requiring surgical or percutaneous procedures. We present case 58-year-old man with pulmonary adenocarcinoma and renal metastases surviving more than 3 years after chemotherapy immunotherapy suffering dyspnea chest pain on minimal exertion due to 99% anterior coronary artery stenosis associated severe aortic bicuspid valve. treated cardiac lesions in two steps by angioplasty drug-eluting stent...
Objectives: Jejuno-ileal bypass (JIB) was a kind of bariatric surgery performed from 1960s to 1980s, able induce sustainable weight loss by creating surgical short bowel syndrome.Materials and methods: We report case an octogenarian woman who underwent in the early eighties this with consequent 40 kg loss. After 27 years, she first developed reversible metabolic cardiomyopathy that began signs symptoms heart failure. Thereafter, diagnosed severe intractable liver insufficiency.Results:...
Abstract Aims Transcatheter strategies to treat aortic stenosis (AS) are an established therapeutic option in older patients not candidate for open heart surgery. Guidelines recommend the adoption of surgical scores like Society Thoracic Surgeons (STS) as tools risk stratification. However, these may have limited predictive value patients. To assess impact frailty status on a composite endpoint comprising all-cause death and cardiovascular (CV) events with severe AS evaluated transcatheter...
Over the past decades, improvements in diagnostic power and availability of non-invasive cardiac imaging techniques have led to a decline right heart catheterization (RHC) performance. However, RHC remains gold standard for diagnosing pulmonary hypertension an essential tool evaluation patient candidacy transplantation.This survey was carried out jointly by Young Committee GISE, with support SICI-GISE Society, ICOT group, aim evaluating how interventional cardiology community perform RHC. A...
Abstract Introduction Cancer and CVD often share common risk factors pathophysiological mechanisms, the relationship can be amplified by oncological treatment. In case of aromatase inhibitors (AIs), used for a long time in breast cancer (BC) expressing estrogen receptor there is significant association with dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, ischemic heart disease failure. For this reason ESC guidelines on Cardio–oncology (LG–CO) recommend evaluation baseline CV using SCORE2 or SCORE2–OP...
Myocardial ischemia (INOCA) and acute myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA) represent emerging entities in the landscape of interventional cardiology. These conditions have heterogeneous pathophysiological mechanisms clinical presentations, complex diagnostics, high prognostic significance.
