How to Make the TAVI Pathway More Efficient
Author(s): Didier Tchétché , Chiara de Biase , Bruno Brochado , et al Added: 3 years ago
Sixteen years have elapsed since the first transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and the procedure has now been widely adopted. The first time the procedure was performed, the patient was under conscious sedation with local anaesthesia for an antegrade-transseptal procedure.1 The pioneering team in Rouen published a series of case reports for patients treated via a transfemoral route… View more

Management of Acute Coronary Syndromes During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic: Deviations from Guidelines and Pragmatic Considerations for Patients and Healthcare Workers
Author(s): Henry Seligman , Sayan Sen , Sukhjinder Nijjer , et al Added: 3 years ago
International guidelines provide clinicians with evidence-based recommendations on how to manage patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Guidance includes the appropriateness and optimal timing for percutaneous interventions as well as the ideal length of hospital stay.1–5 However, the current global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has posed an unprecedented… View more

EuroPCR 2022: Optimize PRO Interim Analysis Finds New Technique is "Best-in-Class"
Author(s): Kendra J Grubb Added: 1 year ago
Dr Kendra Grubb (Emory Structural Heart and Valve Center, GA, US) outlines the interim analysis of the Optimize PRO Study (NCT04091048), originally presented at EuroPCR 2022. Optimize PRO aimed to evaluate valve performance and procedural outcomes of optimised TAVR care using Medtronic's Evolut™ PRO and Evolut™ PRO+ devices. Findings are promising and show that no patients experienced a… View more

Risk Scoring in Coronary Artery Disease
Author(s): Davide Capodanno Added: 3 years ago
Although a combination of multiple strategies to prevent and treat coronary artery disease (CAD) has led to a relative reduction in cardiovascular mortality over recent decades, CAD remains the greatest cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.1 Based on clinical presentation and prognosis, CAD spans from stable presentations (e.g. chronic angina pectoris) to acute coronary syndromes (ACS),… View more

Since the first ‘proof-of-concept’ case of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was reported by Cribier and colleagues in 2002, more than 200,000 patients have undergone the procedure in approximately 65 countries.1,2 Since its inception, the majority of patients undergoing TAVI have been considered inoperable or high risk for conventional surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) as… View more

Standards & Guidelines
Author(s): Laura Capoccia , Vincent Riambau Added: 3 years ago
Since the first reported endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) by Parodi in 1991,1 the approach to the treatment of aneurysmal pathology has changed. The old concept of substitution of the aneurysmal aorta has been replaced by the new and challenging concept of exclusion, in order to pursue the same aim of preventing or treating aneurysm rupture. EVAR is a minimally invasive… View more

The transradial approach (TRA) was introduced for the first time in 1989.1 Used at first by Campeau for coronary angiography, the TRA was later applied by Kiemeneij et al. for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).2 The radial artery has proven to be a challenging but safe route towards the coronary arteries. According to the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines, the radial artery… View more
