Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) has demonstrated effectiveness in the treatment of calcified lesions selected patients with stable coronary disease.
Scarce data exist on coronary events following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), and no study has determined the factors associated with poorer outcomes in this setting. This sought to determine clinical characteristics, outcomes, prognostic of acute syndrome (ACS) TAVR. Multicenter cohort including a total 270 patients presenting an ACS after median time 12 (interquartile range, 5-17) months post-TAVR. Post-ACS death, myocardial infarction, stroke, overall major adverse...
Objective Left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus has heretofore been considered a contraindication to percutaneous LAA closure (LAAC). Data regarding its management are very limited. The aim of this study was analyse the medical and invasive treatment patients referred for LAAC in presence thrombus. Methods This multicentre observational registry included 126 consecutive with on preprocedural imaging. Treatment strategies intensification antithrombotic therapy (IAT) or direct LAAC. primary...
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Introduction: </bold>Respiratory viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza, rhinovirus, and adenovirus, are major causes of acute illness (ARI) in children. Symptom-based predictive models valuable tools for expediting diagnoses, particularly primary care settings. This study assessed the effectiveness machine learning-based estimating infection probabilities these common pediatric viruses using symptom data....
Abstract Background Arrhythmic burden after discharge in patients with new-onset persistent left bundle branch block (NOP-LBBB) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) Evolut devices remains largely unknown. Objectives Assessing incidence and type of arrhythmias at 2-year follow-up NOP-LBBB post-TAVR. Methods Prospective multicentre study including 88 LBBB persisting for ≥3 days post-implantation. Before discharge, an implantable loop recorder (REVEAL XT/LINQ) was implanted;...
The preferred reperfusion strategy for early ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI, defined as time from symptoms onset ≤120 min) in non-capable percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) centres remains controversial. We sought to compare mortality of situ fibrinolysis vs. PCI transfer a real-life consecutive cohort STEMI.Prospective multicentre STEMI registry (Catalonia 'Codi IAM' network) all-comers centre with symptom first medical contact (FMC) <120 min. Two groups were identified:...
Background Small vessel disease (SMD) remains a major challenge because of the increased risk restenosis. We sought to assess efficacy and safety paclitaxel‐eluting balloon (PEB) in patients with SMD. Methods Results One‐hundred four native coronary lesions small vessels treated by using PEB were included this prospective multicenter registry. In each case, after regular dilatation, larger was inflated for minimum 45–60 seconds. Patients 65 ± 10 years old, 43% diabetic, 58% presented...
The use of valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (ViV-TAVI) is increasing, but studies evaluating clinical outcomes in these patients are scarce. Also, there limited data to guide the choice type ViV-TAVI. Therefore, this CENTER-study evaluated with ViV-TAVI compared native TAVI (NV-TAVI). In addition, we treated self-expandable versus balloon-expandable valves. A total 256 and 11333 NV-TAVI were matched 1:2 using propensity score matching, resulting 512 NV-TAVI. Mean age...
Even in the drug-eluting stent (DES) era treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR) is still a relatively common problem for which satisfactory solution yet to be found. We wished assess efficacy new paclitaxel-coated balloon (DEB) these lesions.In this prospective multicenter registry 126 patients with ISR, treated paclitaxel-eluting (3.0 μg/m(2) surface area), were included. All lesions predilated using conventional angioplasty. The DEB was inflated minimum 60 seconds. Dual antiplatelet...
The potential benefit of using larger or smaller transcatheter heart valves (THV) in patients with borderline aortic annulus measurement (BAM) remains uncertain. objective this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes associated selection THV context BAM.This a multicenter observational including who underwent valve replacement SAPIEN 3 Ultra-valve systems (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA) from April 2014 June 2021. BAM defined according manufacturer sizing chart and included following...
Background Coronary artery disease remains a major cause of death despite better outcomes ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We aimed to analyze data from the Ruti‐STEMI registry in‐hospital, 28‐day, and 1‐year events in patients with STEMI over past 3 decades Catalonia, Spain, assess trends prognosis. Methods Results Between February 1989 December 2017, total 7589 were admitted consecutively. Patients grouped into 5 periods: 1994 (period 1), 1995 1999 2), 2000 2004 3), 2005...
There is little information available on agreement between fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) in left main coronary artery (LMCA) intermediate stenosis. Besides, several meta-analyses support the use of FFR to guide LMCA revascularization, but limited iFR this setting. Our aims were establish concordance lesions, evaluate with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) cases FFR/iFR discordance, prospectively validate safety deferring revascularization based a hybrid...
