Abstract Objectives To compare transesophageal echocardiography (TOE) findings after patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure by BioSTAR (NMT Medical Inc, Boston, MA) and Amplatzer PFO occluders (Abbott Vascular, Plymouth, MN). Background with a biodegradable device represents an attractive alternative to permanent devices. Long‐term effectiveness morphology biodegradation remain unknown. Methods Between February 2008 June 2014, 49 patients received 48 occluder. TOE was performed closure, at 6...
The current study was designed to reveal possible associations between the angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphisms (rs4646994 and rs4341) with markers of carotid atherosclerosis in patients type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) a 4-year-long follow-up study. Five hundred ninety-five T2DM subjects 200 control were enrolled. Genotyping ACE performed using KASPar assays, ultrasound examinations twice (at enrollment at follow-up). With regard progression T2DM, statistically significant...
Background: COVID-19 infection has been associated with paradoxical thromboembolism through a patent foramen ovale (PFO) and ischaemic stroke. Such events have not reported after vaccination. The aim of the present study was to investigate PFO-associated stroke during mass vaccination in Slovenia. Methods: This prospective study, conducted between 26 December 2020 31 March 2022, enrolled consecutive patients (≥18 years) referred for percutaneous closure single interventional facility...
To determine the procedural characteristics, results, and long-term outcomes of first 500 consecutive patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) at MC Medicor International Center for Cardiovascular Diseases Izola (Slovenia).
Background: Medicor was established as the third cardiovascular center in Slovenia and started with percutaneous interventions 2005. The purpose of our study to describe features results coronary intervention (PCI) performed between 2005 2015.Methods: Our retrospective descriptive included consecutive patients undergoing PCI, who were enrolled PCI Registry. Patient characteristics, anatomy, features, use stents, procedural success complications investigated. Special emphasis put on...
Prikazujemo 80-letnega bolnika, pri katerem smo odkrili simptomatsko degenerativno aortno stenozo (maksimalni gradient 58 mmHg, srednji 38 površina ustja 0,9 cm2) ter hemodinamsko pomembni stenozi debla leve koronarne arterije (LM) in descendentne (LAD) z zmanjšano koronarno rezervo (0,72). Ker je bolnik zaradi starosti degenerativne bolezni hrbtenice zavrnil srčno operacijo, najprej opravili perkutano intervencijo (PCI) na LM LAD, v drugem posegu pa vstavili še samoraztezno biološko...
A 67-year old man with a hemodynamically significant type secundum atrial septal defect (ASD), large patent foramen ovale (PFO) and aneurism presented shortness of breath limited exercise tolerance. There was no evidence additional structural abnormalities nor coronary artery disease. Simultaneous percutaneous closure both defects planned. Since the wire could have been passed only through PFO second not ASD, closed 35 mm Amplatz occluder. After 3 months, which served for tissue ingrowth...
Izhodišče: Katetrska vstavitev aortne zaklopke (TAVI) je v zadnjih letih postala prevladujoča metoda za zdravljenje degenerativne stenoze pri starejših bolnikih. Prispevek prikazuje prve rezultate zdravljenja s TAVI mednarodnem kardiovaskularnem centru MC Medicor in jih primerja z najpomembnejšimi mednarodnimi raziskavami let.
 Metode: V retrospektivno raziskavo smo vključili zaporedno serijo bolnikov, katerih opravili TAVI. Podatke pridobili iz lastnega registra perkutanih kardioloških...
