Protected Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Impella 5.5 Pump in Severe Peripheral Artery Disease [0.03%]
Rohit B Ponnada,Atman K Shah,Bhanuteja Pujari et al.
Rohit B Ponnada et al.
Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices can be helpful to maintain hemodynamic stability during high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Iliofemoral arterial disease limits the use of transfemoral MCS devices. Impella 5.5, a...
Small Orifice Regurgitation Increasing Phenomenon During Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair: Case Series [0.03%]
Dawei Lin,Wei Li,Daxin Zhou et al.
Dawei Lin et al.
Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has emerged as a prominent therapeutic approach for mitral regurgitation (MR) in recent years. For commissural, a higher grade of MR would be detected post-TEER compared to it during the procedure, w...

Muhammad Raffey Shabbir et al.
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia worldwide, and catheter ablation has been established as an effective treatment modality. The outcomes can vary based on medical expertise and the loca...
The Slipstream and Tip-Detection Technique: A Simplified AnteOwl-IVUS-Guided Re-Entry Strategy for Complex Lower-Extremity CTOs [0.03%]
Masataka Yoshinaga,Akane Miyazaki,Takashi Muramatsu et al.
Masataka Yoshinaga et al.
Long lower-extremity chronic total occlusions (CTOs) often require subintimal passage, and controlled true-lumen crossing can be challenging, particularly when (1) the distal true lumen is reached, but part of the CTO is subintimal or (2) t...
