Background— Real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography (RTMCE) directly measures capillary flow (CBF), which in turn is a major regulator of coronary and resistance during demand or hyperemic stress. Although fractional reserve (FFR) was developed to assess the physiological relevance an epicardial stenosis, it assumes maximal microvascular vasodilation minimal vasodilator Therefore, we sought determine relationship between CBF assessed with RTMCE stress FFR intermediate lesions. Methods...
A paucity of data exists on how transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) practice has evolved in Ireland. This study sought to analyse temporal trends patient demographics, procedural characteristics, and clinical outcomes at an Irish tertiary referral centre.
In this era of complex high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (HR-PCI), mechanical support is being increasingly used. Traditionally, circulatory with the Impella CP device requires a large-bore arterial access and an additional for subsequent intervention. We present case series novel single-access HR-PCI (SHIP) technique, in which single used both reviewed 35 patients from June 2019 to February 2021 whom procedure was successfully employed all but 1 case. our series, technique...
We present a case that was initially diagnosed as non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction following blunt chest trauma from left lateral contusion. Coronary angiography and later cardiac computed tomography were performed showed narrowing dissection of the distal circumflex first obtuse marginal branch artery, which treated medically without any coronary intervention.
To assess the correlation between aortic valve annular plane (AVAP) obtained by preprocedural computed tomography (CT) with on-table three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA), in patients undergoing transcatheter replacement (TAVR).Accurate assessment of AVAP is critical during TAVR procedures to enable optimal positioning and minimize complications. Most commonly, CT has been used determine AVAP. However, this can differ from actual procedure.Consecutive at a single center both 3DRA...
Abstract Background Coronary embolism is a rare cause of myocardial infarction (MI). We present case report which emphasizes the importance intracoronary imaging in these cases to identify pathophysiological mechanism MI. Case summary A 53-year-old male with no past medical history presented hospital typical angina. Electrocardiogram and serum troponin I level trend confirmed non-ST-elevation infarction. angiography showed evidence any obstructive coronary artery disease, but two small...
Background: Advanced heart failure has an extremely high mortality withoAdvanced without advanced therapies (left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation or cardiac transplant). LVAD patients with bioprosthetic aortic valve are more prone to leaflet fusion resulting in valvular stenosis and regurgitation.ut like Left devices transplant. regurgitation. We present a 46 year old patient who had LV systolic function recovery while on LVAD. However, he severely stenotic bioprosthesis that...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) is a frequent and serious complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The most important procedural risk factor for CIAKI contrast volume. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> Because volume modifiable that directly predicts CIAKI, we sought to identify predictors increased in TAVR patients. Identification such may allow both prediction mitigation following TAVR....
Introduction: Coronary microvascular disease is an area of cardiovascular medicine in which there a growing body knowledge about underlying pathophysiology. This may manifest as clinical angina the absence epicardial obstruction. One proposed theory dysfunctional regulation endothelium secondary to local inflammatory mediators. Therefore, purpose this study was evaluate role cytokines patients with disease. Methods: Patients undergoing coronary catherization for were defined those having...
