Background— Aortic valve stenosis may influence fractional flow reserve (FFR) of concomitant coronary artery disease by causing hypertrophy and reducing the vasodilatory circulation. We sought to investigate whether FFR values might change after replacement. Methods Results— The functional relevance 133 lesions was assessed in 54 patients with severe aortic before transcatheter implantation (TAVI) during same procedure. A linear mixed model used verify interaction TAVI effect values. No...
The aim of this study was to assess prospectively the clinical benefits fractional flow reserve (FFR) in guiding coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).GRAFFITI is a single-blinded, prospective, multicentre, randomised controlled trial FFR-guided versus angiography-guided CABG. We enrolled patients undergoing angiography, having significantly diseased left anterior descending or main stem and at least one more major with intermediate stenosis, assessed by FFR. Surgical strategy defined based...
Aims:We sought to assess eventual changes in iFR measurements patients with aortic stenosis (AS) before and after TAVI coronary lesions different degrees of angiographic severity. Methods results:The functional relevance 145 was assessed by online FFR measurement 66 severe AS TAVI, during the same procedure.The iFR-FFR classification agreement calculated for pre-TAVI post-TAVI measurements.Mean values remained identical irrespective severity (0.89±0.12 vs. 0.89±0.12,p=0.66).However,...
Background Management of coronary artery disease in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation is uncertain. Fractional flow reserve ( FFR ) has never been clinically validated stenosis. The study aim was to analyze the clinical outcome ‐guided revascularization implantation. Methods and Results Patients with severe stenosis at angiography were included this retrospective analysis divided 2 groups: guided (122/216; 56.5%) versus (94/216; 43.5%). followed up evaluated for...
Objective . To investigate the effect of extent revascularization in complex high-risk indicated patients (CHIP) undergoing Impella-protected percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Background Complete has been shown to be associated with improved outcomes. However, impact more complete during PCI CHIP not reported. Methods A total 86 elective Impella 2.5 or CP between April 2007 and December 2016 from 2 high volume Italian centers were included. Baseline, procedural, clinical outcomes...
Objective The use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is growing rapidly in countries with a predominantly elderly population, posing huge challenge to healthcare systems worldwide. increment human and economic resource consumption imposes careful monitoring clinical outcomes cost-benefit balance, this article aimed at analysing related the TAVI learning curve. Methods Outcomes 177 consecutive transfemoral procedures performed 5 years by single team were analysed Cumulative Sum...
Aims To compare the performance of instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) with fractional flow reserve (FFR) in a real-life, prospective, single-center, and independent study. Methods results Fifty-four patients were included 89 angiographic intermediate lesions underwent functional evaluation both iFR FFR. FFR was used as gold standard, having values 0.80 or less only percutaneous coronary intervention. Linear regression demonstrated close agreement between two techniques (R = 0.83, P <...
Background The aim of this study was to compare the immediate and long-term clinical outcomes medical therapy percutaneous patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure as secondary prevention strategies in patients younger than 55 years age presenting with cryptogenic stroke PFO. Methods Between January 2006 April 2015, all diagnosis PFO were analysed prospectively followed. Stroke confirmed 159 out 309 (51%). In remaining cases, other neurological conditions found therefore excluded from further...
Abstract The volume of contrast to creatinine clearance ratio (CV/CrCl) is a useful indicator the risk acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing percutaneous interventional procedures. Association between CV/CrCl and adverse outcome after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was suggested but it not well established. A large retrospective multicenter cohort 1381 treated with TAVI analyzed assess association AKI mortality at 90 days 1 year TAVI. Patients receiving renal...
Úvod: Prevalence ischemické choroby srdeční (ICHS) se u všech pacientů stenózou aortální chlopně (aortic valve stenosis, AVS) pohybuje v rozmezí 30 % až 60 %. Dosud nebyla nalezena jednoznačná shoda ohledně optimálního způsobu léčby ICHS s indikací k transkatétrové implantaci (transcatheter aortic implantation, TAVI). Cílem této studie bylo stanovit prevalenci, určit způsob i bezprostřední klinické důsledky dané populace, zvláštním zaměřením na proveditelnost a bezpečnost metody...
Aim: The aim of our study is to assess the predictors and prognostic role left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) recovery after Impella-supported percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: This retrospective, observational included admitted for AMI who underwent PCI two Italian high-volume cardiac catheterization laboratories. Only an echocardiographic assessment before procedure (acute LVEF) during follow-up (follow-up...
The best therapeutic strategy for patients with concomitant carotid obstructive disease (COD) and coronary artery (CAD) remains controversial. aim of the study is to observe post-procedural 1-year clinical outcomes COD CAD after an endovascular, surgical, or a combined (hybrid) revascularization approach, selected by consensus multidisciplinary team. Between January 2006 December 2012, 1043 consecutive were treated. According treatment strategies, divided into three groups: surgical: 391...
