Prediction of adverse events in mid-term follow-up after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is challenging. We sought to develop and validate a machine learning model for prediction 1-year all-cause mortality patients who underwent TAVI were discharged following the index procedure. The was developed on data at high-volume centre between January 2013 March 2019. Machine by extreme gradient boosting trained tested with repeated 10-fold hold-out testing using 34 pre- 25...
Background Current indications for percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) are limited to patients who had their outflow tracts repaired with the use of a “full” condui— homograft . Patients after patch repair believed have an unfavorable anatomy PPVI. Objectives To evaluate novel Edwards SAPIEN TM treatment moderate and severe regurgitation tetralogy Fallot (TF) right ventricular (RVOT) patch. Methods PPVI was intended in 10 (age 21–39 years, 2 ♂) regurgitant fraction 30–59%,...
Abstract Objectives : The aim of the study was to assess if aspiration thrombectomy in high risk patients with STEMI and angiographic evidence thrombus may improve myocardial salvage. Background It is unclear before percutaneous intervention (PCI) improves Methods trial a prospective randomized study. inclusion criteria were: first within 12 hr from symptoms onset, culprit lesion left anterior descending or right coronary artery, artery TIMI flow ≤ 2 thrombus. primary endpoint salvage index...
Background The association of inflammatory markers with mortality in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains controversial, so the present study relationships high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), total white blood cell (WBC) count, neutrophil (N) and lymphocyte (L) counts N/L ratio occurrence in-hospital were assessed patients STEMI PCI. Methods Results Inflammatory parameters on admission 1,078 consecutive,...
Background: The aim of our study was to determine a potential relationship between resting translesional pressures ratio (Pd/Pa ratio), renal fractional fl ow reserve (rFFR) and blood pressure response after artery stenting. Methods: Thirty fi ve hypertensive patients (49% males, mean age 64 years) with at least 60% stenosis in angiography, underwent Translesional systolic gradient (TSPG), Pd/Pa (the distal lesion proximal pressures) hyperemic rFFR — intrarenal administration papaverine were...
Background Hemoglobin (Hb) levels may interact with inflammatory activation, but it is unknown whether the interaction has any impact on clinical outcomes in acute coronary syndromes. The aim of this study was to assess relationship between admission Hb levels, leukocytosis and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated primary angioplasty. Methods Results group comprised 1,904 (1,380 men) patients STEMI percutaneous intervention, enrolled a prospective registry. endpoint in-hospital...
Background. Clinical benefit from renal artery revascularization remains controversial, probably because of inaccurate stenosis severity assessment. Objective. The aim the study was to evaluate resting translesional pressures ratio and fractional flow reserve (rFFR) in relation angiography Doppler duplex ultrasonography patients with at least moderate (RAS). Methods. 44 hypertensive (48% males, mean age 65 years) RAS were investigated. Translesional systolic pressure gradient (TSPG), Pd/Pa...
Background: Despite adequate heparinization, formation of fresh intracardiac thrombi during the MitraClip procedure was reported. Aims: We aimed to evaluate incidence and clinical consequences thrombus device implantation. Methods: Clinical data transesophageal echocardiography findings obtained procedures in 100 consecutive patients (81 men; mean [SD] age, 67.8 [8.3] years) were reviewed. In all patients, a heparin bolus given immediately after successful transseptal puncture, activated...
Totally implantable venous access systems (TIVAS), Swan-Ganz (SG) and central catheters (CVC) allow easy repetitive entry to the cardiovascular system. Fragments of them may be released inadvertently into system during their insertion or as a result mechanical complications encountered long-term utilization.To present results percutaneous retrieval embolized fragments devices knotted SG review procedural aspects with series detailed angiographies.Between January 2003 December 2012 there were...

A 29-year-old patient (♀) with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH, WHO functional class IV) treated sildenafil, treprostinil, and nifedipine suddenly developed recurrent chest pain at rest, accompanied by an acute inversion of T-waves in V3–V6 a troponin I increase up to 1.9 ng/mL. Progressive trunk dilatation was observed all her previous echocardiography examinations.
