Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), a procedure often performed under local anaesthetic with a 2–3 day length of stay, has the capacity to transform lives for the better with dramatic improvements in exercise tolerance and quality of life. Complication rates are low, but stroke – particularly disabling stroke – remains a feared outcome for patients and operators alike. As such, it is… View more

Immediate Impact Without the Need for Thrombolytics in the Treatment of Acute Pulmonary Embolism
Author(s): Felix Mahfoud , Nils Kucher Added: 1 year ago
Pulmonary Embolism is a common disease with a challenging diagnosis. It is the third leading cause of cardiovascular mortality after heart attack and stroke. Despite high mortality rates, anticoagulation alone remains the mainstay treatment for nearly half of the patients diagnosed with PE. 20-50% of them have residual thrombus after receiving conservative treatment, developing life limiting… View more

The FAME Trials: Impact on Clinical Decision Making
Author(s): Guy R Heyndrickx , Gábor G Tóth Added: 3 years ago
The presence as well as the extent of myocardial ischaemia are key to determining cardiovascular outcome,1–3 thus its identification is important. An endeavour to improve diagnostic accuracy in deciding which angiographic lesions are haemodynamically significant led to the development of the concept of fractional flow reserve (FFR). Based on pressure-flow analysis of a stenosis during maximum… View more
