Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) has been shown to be safe and effective for calcium modification in nonocclusive coronary artery disease (CAD), but there are only case reports of its use calcified chronic total occlusions (CTO). We report data from an international multicenter registry IVL during CTO percutaneous intervention (PCI) provide provisional regarding efficacy safety. During the study period, was used 55 1053 (5.2%) PCI procedures. within occluded segment after successful crossing...
Abstract Background The anatomical complexity of a chronic total occlusion (CTO) correlates with procedural failure and complication rates. CTO modification after unsuccessful crossing has been associated subsequent higher technical success rates, but rates remain high this approach. While successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improved angina quality life (QOL) not demonstrated in anatomically high‐risk CTOs. Whether planned procedure, hereafter named Investment could improve...
Abstract Aims The objective of this study was to examine baseline frailty status (including cognitive deficits) and important clinical outcomes, inform shared decision-making in older adults receiving transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods results We conducted a prospective, observational 82 TAVI patients, recruited 2013 2015, with 2-year follow-up. Mean age 83 years (standard deviation (SD) 4.7). Eighteen percent the patients were frail, as assessed an 8-item scale. Fifteen...
The long-term patency of saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) is poor compared to arterial bypass grafts. Re-do coronary artery graft surgery (CABG) high risk, thus failure often requires revascularization with percutaneous intervention (PCI). While PCI the native vessels preferable, SVGs sometimes necessary despite being associated a incidence stent failure. early SVG degeneration friable disease, calcification becomes an increasing problem in older Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) has been...
Acute myocardial ischemia induces reduced systolic shortening and causes postsystolic (PSS). Right ventricular (RV) PSS in coronary artery disease has been less studied. We present here the case of a 51-year-old woman admitted with non-ST segment elevation infarction significant RV free-wall segments on two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography, suggesting ongoing ischemia. A cardiac CT demonstrated occluded proximal right low-attenuated/soft plaque, confirmed by angiography which...
Objectives Due to prognostic uncertainty and limited decision-making capacity, the choice perform transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with severe stenosis (AS) comorbid dementia is challenging. This study explores older adults’ perspectives on complex preceding TAVI hypothetical setting of dementia. Design Qualitative entailing semistructured interviews. Analysis was by systematic text condensation. The interview guide addressed their attitudes regarding treatment...
Abstract Background Chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with procedural myocardial injury (PMI), and adverse long-term clinical outcomes [1–4].CTO lesion complexity quantified using established scores [5–8], high known to determine the need for dissection re-entry techniques retrograde approach, which are then a higher incidence of complications [9,10]. If CTO recanalization unsuccessful, modification procedure can be performed, intention...
