Background: The safety and efficacy of everolimus-eluting stent (EES) versus zotarolimus-eluting stent (ZES) are controversial both in randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) and observational studies. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of EES versus ZES.
Objectives: To evaluate the success rate and outcome of coronary artery perforation treatment using a dual guiding catheter technique.
Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is the definitive therapy for high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of non-transfemoral access on clinical outcomes in TAVI.
Background: Most commonly, left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion procedures are performed using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance and general anaesthesia. Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) offers potential advantages over TEE, however, ICE-guided LAA occlusion experience is limited and has been typically performed from a right-sided location where LAA visualization might be suboptimal. We sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous LAA occlusion using ICE guidance performed from the left atrium.
Aims: We sought to evaluate the procedural and clinical performances of the MGuard Prime Embolic Protection Stent (EPS) in a “real-world” population with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).
Objective: To evaluate a paclitaxel drug-eluting balloon (DEB) only strategy in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI), aiming at a comparison with bare metal stent (BMS) alone, DEB followed by BMS, and paclitaxel eluting stent (PES), as assessed in the randomized Drug Eluting Balloon in Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (DEB-AMI) trial.
Objectives: To evaluate outcomes of patients undergoing rotational atherectomy (RA) in a multicenter percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) registry.
Background: Valve-sparing repair in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) carries the risk of residual or recurrent right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction, which is often treated with transcatheter balloon dilation (BD). The outcomes and associated complications of BD of the RVOT in this scenario remain unknown.
Background: Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome is a rare condition characterized by hypoxemia in the upright position that is improved in the supine position. Although several etiologies of platypnea-orthodeoxia exist, it is frequently associated with right-to-left shunting of blood at the cardiac or pulmonary level, usually via a patent foramen ovale (PFO). The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome in a select patient population with right-to-left shunting and to describe the outcomes after PFO closure.
Objectives: To assess outcomes for patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) versus surgical aortic valve replacement but with less than high risk.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the healing process at 12 months after ABSORB™ bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) implantation in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Objectives: This study sought to elucidate the optimal bioprosthetic valve (BPV) size prior to Melody valve implantation. Background: BPVs provide an ideal “landing zone” for future Melody valve insertion. To guide surgical choice of BPV size, it is important to understand which BPV size can serve consistently as substrates for Melody valve placements.
Background: Balloon-expandable valves (BEVs) and self-expandable valves (SEVs) are two major types of valves utilized for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We conducted a meta-analysis of available studies to compare the safety and efficacy of these two valve types.
Background: Data regarding the influence of different levels of renal dysfunction on clinical and echocardiographic results of MitraClip therapy are scarce. We aimed to evaluate the impact of baseline advance renal failure in the outcomes of a cohort of patients treated with MitraClip.
Background: A hybrid approach to chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) prioritizing and combining all available crossing techniques was developed to optimize procedural efficacy, efficiency, and safety, but there is limited published data on its outcomes.
