Background: The safety and efficacy of the second‐generation biodegradable polymer Cobalt‐Chromium sirolimus‐eluting stent (EXCEL2) in daily clinical practice remains unknown. Additionally, to meet the China Food and Drug Administration requirements, we conducted an objective performance criterion study from the CREDIT II and CREDIT III trials.
Background: Implantation of early‐generation metallic drug‐eluting stents (DES) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with poor vessel wall healing. Use of biodegradable polymer (BP) DES might improve safety outcomes; however, the impact of varying drug elution and polymer absorption kinetics of BP‐DES on clinical outcomes in the AMI population is unknown.
Objectives: To compare outcomes after minimalist and standard transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TF‐TAVR) in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Objectives: To compare indications and clinical outcomes of two contemporary left atrial appendage (LAA) percutaneous closure systems in a “real‐world” population.
Objective. We report our recent experience with the new Occlutech® PDA Occluder, which seems suitable especially for closure of large patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) sizes with elevated pulmonary artery pressure (PAH).
Objective: To determine the short‐ and medium‐term outcomes of ductal stenting (DS) in patients with functionally univentricular hearts (FUHs) and ductal‐dependent pulmonary blood flow.
Aims: To gather current experience in Occlutech ASD device retrieval, to determine whether snaring is an effective technique and to highlight alternative retrieval techniques.
By providing valuable information about the coronary artery wall and lumen, intravascular imaging may aid in optimizing interventional procedure results and thereby could improve clinical outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a light‐based technology with a tissue penetration of approximately 1 to 3 mm and provides near histological resolution. It has emerged as a technological breakthrough in intravascular imaging with multiple clinical and research applications. OCT provides detailed visualization of the vessel following PCI and provides accurate assessment of post‐procedural stent performance including detection of edge dissection, stent struts apposition, tissue prolapse, and healing parameters. Additionally, it can provide accurate characterization of plaque morphology and provides key information to optimize post‐procedural outcomes. This manuscript aims to review the current clinical and research applications of intracoronary OCT and summarize the analytic OCT imaging software packages currently available.
This is the first documented case of a drug‐coated balloon strategy for the treatment of bioresorbable in‐scaffold restenosis caused by diffuse neointimal proliferation. This case can provide an alternative treatment option in this setting, avoiding potential problems related to further bulky metallic stents in a patient where a different strategy was initially planned.
Objectives: To evaluate radiation reduction by reducing fluoroscopy pulse rate in diagnostic cardiac catheterizations and percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) as well as outcomes at 30 days and six months.
Background: Transradial coronary angiography has been associated with shorter times to ambulation. We hypothesized that RHC from the upper extremity would be similarly associated with shorter ambulation times when compared to traditional femoral access.
Background: Retrograde recanalization of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) via contralateral (CL) collateral connections (CCs) is successful in 60–70% of patients in whom conventional antegrade approach fails or is unpromising. This study describes our experience with retrograde CTO‐PCI via ipsi‐lateral (IL) CCs in patients with unfavorable CL CCs.
Objective: Comparison of transradial versus transfemoral access for complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with regard to both complications and long‐term outcomes.
Background: Young women undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) experience greater adverse events than men, potentially due to under‐treatment. We sought to compare the 1‐year outcomes by sex in patients ≤55 years of age from a contemporary PCI cohort.
Objectives: To identify predictors of major adverse cardiovascular outcomes (MACE) among patients with prior percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) who require noncardiac surgery.
