Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a shortcoming that can erode the clinical benefits of transcatheter valve replacement (TAVR) and therefore a readily applicable method (aortography) to quantitate PVL objectively and accurately in the interventional suite is appealing to all operators. The ratio between the areas of the time-density curves in the aorta and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT-AR) defines the regurgitation fraction (RF). This technique has been validated in a mock circulation; a single injection in diastole was further tested in porcine and ovine models...

BACKGROUND: Prospective data about transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients are limited. AIMS: We aimed to evaluate the clinical impact of the Evolut PRO and R (34 mm) self-expanding prostheses in BAV patients and explore the impact of different computed tomography (CT) sizing algorithms in a prospective registry. METHODS: A total of 149 bicuspid patients were treated in 14 countries...

Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) is becoming the first-line investigation for establishing the presence of coronary artery disease and, with fractional flow reserve (FFRCT ), its haemodynamic significance. In patients without significant epicardial obstruction, its role is either to rule out atherosclerosis or to detect subclinical plaque that should be monitored for plaque progression/regression following prevention therapy and provide risk classification. Ischaemic non-obstructive coronary arteries are also expected to be assessed by non-invasive imaging, including CCTA...

BACKGROUND: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to a middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm rupture is often associated with an intracerebral hematoma (ICH) or intrasylvian hematoma (ISH). METHODS: We reviewed 163 patients with ruptured MCA aneurysms associated with pure SAH or SAH plus ICH or ISH. The patients were first dichotomized according to the presence of a hematoma (ICH or ISH). Next, we performed a subgroup analysis comparing ICH versus ISH to explore their relationship with the most relevant demographic, clinical, and angioarchitectural features...

BACKGROUND: Limited data exist on the use of temporary permanent pacemaker (TPPM) to reduce unnecessary PPM in patients with high-degree atrioventricular block (HAVB) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). OBJECTIVES: This study aims to determine the feasibility of TPPM in patients with HAVB after TAVR to provide prolonged pacing as a bridge. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred and eleven consecutive patients undergoing TAVR were screened from August 2021 to June 2022...

PURPOSE: To assess the agreement between radiologists in the detection of specific features related to T- and N-stage and evaluate accuracy in colon cancer staging. METHODS: Patients who underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) before surgery were enrolled and evaluated by three radiologists with different experience. Pathological data were used as the reference standard. Tumor location, presence of tumor bulging, fat stranding, lateroconal fascia invasion, enlarged vessels, axial short diameter of the biggest node, shape, enhancement pattern, intranodal necrosis, and cluster were collected...

BACKGROUND: This study sought to compare characteristics and outcomes of patients who underwent surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) after being referred to a heart team (HT), to those of patients referred directly for SAVR. METHODS: An analysis of patients who underwent SAVR from 2015 to 2020 was conducted. Patients were categorized into 3 groups, as follows: (i) H-HT: patients referred to the HT from 2015 to 2017 (historical cohort); (ii) C-HT: patients referred to the HT from 2018 to 2020 (contemporary cohort); and (iii) No-HT: patients referred directly to cardiac surgery from 2018 to 2020...

BACKGROUND/AIM: At present, multidisciplinary tumor boards (MDTB) are considered best practice in oncology. However, web-based virtualization of MDTB may increase participation in meetings, the number of cases discussed, and adherence to guidelines, deliver better treatment, and eventually improve outcomes for patients with prostate cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This is an observational study focused on exploring the structuring process and implementing a multi-institutional virtual MDTB in Sicily, Italy...

Most transcatheter aortic valve replacement-related procedures (eg, transcatheter aortic valve replacement implantation depth, commissural alignment, coronary access, bioprosthetic or native aortic scallop intentional laceration to prevent iatrogenic coronary artery obstruction, paravalvular leak closure) require an optimal fluoroscopic viewing angle located somewhere along the aortic annulus S-curve. Chamber views, coronary cusp and coronary anatomy, can be understood along the aortic annulus S-curve. A better understanding of the optimal fluoroscopic viewing angles along the S-curve may translate into increased operator confidence and improved safety and efficacy while reducing procedural time, radiation dose, contrast volume, and complication rates...

BACKGROUND: Success rate of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in aortic regurgitation (AR) patients is relatively low on account of the absence of calcified anchoring structures. Morphological classification and corresponding TAVR strategies for AR are lacking yet. METHODS: The AURORA study is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm cohort study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transfemoral TAVR for severe AR in patients with high or prohibitive risk for surgery...

Despite easy access to imaging diagnostic procedures and an abundance of spatial data, most cardiac interventions are still performed under two-dimensional fluoroscopy. Incorporating anatomical data from scans into procedures plans has the potential to improve the swiftness and outcomes of percutaneous cardiac interventions. Therefore, procedure planning based on the specific anatomy is becoming a new standard of excellence in interventional cardiology. Still, we often tend to disregard specific spatial relations and the actual direction of catheter tip movement inside the body, relying on a try and error approach...

IMPORTANCE: In patients with severe aortic valve stenosis at intermediate surgical risk, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a self-expanding supra-annular valve was noninferior to surgery for all-cause mortality or disabling stroke at 2 years. Comparisons of longer-term clinical and hemodynamic outcomes in these patients are limited. OBJECTIVE: To report prespecified secondary 5-year outcomes from the Symptomatic Aortic Stenosis in Intermediate Risk Subjects Who Need Aortic Valve Replacement (SURTAVI) randomized clinical trial...

BACKGROUND: As transcatheter aortic valve (TAV) replacement is increasingly used in patients with longer life expectancy, a sizable proportion will require redo TAV replacement (TAVR). The unique configuration of balloon-expandable TAV (bTAV) vs a self-expanding TAV (sTAV) potentially affects TAV-in-TAV outcome. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to better inform prosthesis selection, TAV-in-TAV outcomes were assessed according to the type of initial and subsequent TAV...

Indications for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have expanded in many countries to include patients with aortic stenosis who are at low surgical risk, and a similar expansion to this cohort is anticipated elsewhere in the world, together with an increase in the proportion of patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) morphology as the age of the patients being treated decreases. To date, patients with BAV have been excluded from major randomized trials of TAVI owing to anatomical considerations...
