This acute in vivo study sought to provide insights regarding the feasibility of performing complex bifurcation stenting with Magmaris magnesium alloy bioresorbable scaffolds (Biotronik, Bulach, Switzerland).Twenty-five New Zealand White rabbits underwent non-diseased aorto-iliac bifurcations using provisional (PS; n=5), culotte (n=6), modified T or and protrusion (TAP, n=8) techniques. Angiography, optical coherence tomography micro-computed were performed. Angiographic results good without...
We assessed the impact of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) on functional performance and quality life (QoL) in a high-risk patient population with multiple comorbidities. Between January 2009 December 2014, 145 patients (EuroSCORE II 7.3% [4.9; 14.9]) severe symptomatic stenosis (AS) underwent TAVI single centre. prospectively evaluated New York Heart Association (NYHA) class, 6-minute walking distance (6MWD), QoL using validated Dutch version EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) descriptive...
A 55-year-old female underwent repeat coronary angiography for recurrent angina, 9 months after percutaneous intervention (PCI) of a mid-right artery (RCA) chronic total occlusion with implantation two overlapping Orsiro™ sirolimus-eluting stents (3.0 × 30 mm at 20 atm; 2.5 16 atm) (see Supplementary data online, Video S1 ). The distal part the stented segment showed focal in-stent restenosis (ISR) abnormal motion pattern S2 Optical coherence tomography (OCT) 3D reconstruction confirmed...
Although bioresorbable scaffolds offer potential advantages compared with metallic drug-eluting stents in the treatment of complex coronary bifurcation lesions, there are concerns that polymeric scaffold integrity may be compromised. This vivo study sought to provide insights about feasibility performing stenting Absorb vascular (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA).Twenty New Zealand white rabbits underwent nondiseased aortoiliac using provisional (PS, n=5), culotte (n=5), modified-T or T-and...
: We report an unusual case of new-generation drug-eluting stent fracture, diagnosed and managed with aid optical coherence tomography.
A 59-year-old female with heart failure preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), NYHA class III, eccentric left ventricle (LV) hypertrophy and anterior inverted T waves on the ECG ( Panel ), underwent a coronary angiography that excluded artery disease. However, an unusual venous circulation pattern was incidentally observed: persistent embryonic arterial fistulas (CAF) from right coronaries to both ventricular cavities (see Supplementary material online, Videos S2 …
