Catheter-based vascular interventions continue to evolve as new devices continue to expand the capabilities of interventionalists and improve patient safety. The importance of athero-embolisation during vascular intervention has long been recognised.1 Embolic protection devices (EPDs) were developed to help prevent embolisation during endovascular procedures. The risk of distal embolisation is… View more

Peripheral Arterial Interventions
Author(s): Brock Cookman , Suhail Allaqaband , Tonga Nfor Added: 3 years ago
With an ageing population, the burden of peripheral artery diseases (PADs) is increasing. The treatment of these diseases has largely been performed by interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons and interventional cardiologists. In 2011, the percentage of procedures performed per specialty were 12.9 %, 45.0 % and 42.2 % for interventional radiology, vascular surgery and interventional… View more

TCT 22: Sentinel® Stroke Protection System During TAVR
Author(s): Samir R Kapadia Added: 1 year ago
TCT 22 - In this short interview, Dr Samir Kapadia (Cleveland Clinic, OH, US) outlines the findings of the PROTECTED-TAVR trial, which aimed to demonstrate the performance of Boston Scientific's Sentinel® Cerebral Protection System in transcatheter aortic valve replacement. In this study, 3000 patients were randomized to receive either TAVR with the Sentinel system or TAVR without intervention… View more

Randomised trials in the infra-renal abdominal aorta have demonstrated endovascular is better than open repair in preventing aneurysm-related death up to four years post-operatively. Patients with thoracic aneurysms potentially have even more to gain from the endovascular technique. Mortality rates from open thoracic aneurysm repair are three times higher than the infra-renal aorta. Furthermore,… View more

Cerebral Embolic Protection in TAVI
Author(s): Michael Teitelbaum , Rafail Kotronias , Luciano A Sposato , et al Added: 3 years ago
Since its introduction in 2002, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has provided an alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients considered inoperable or either at high or intermediate risk for SAVR.1 However, one of the most feared complications of TAVI are cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) including stroke or transient ischaemic attack. Further to this, TAVI… View more

Carotid stenting has been introduced for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis as a potentially less invasive therapy than carotid endarterectomy, because carotid stenting does not require general anaesthesia and does not lead to local surgical complications. Despite major technical progress in decreasing the risk of embolisation, this risk continues to be a hurdle in the acceptance of carotid… View more

Arterial hypertension is a slow killer. A severe coarctation presenting in the neonatal period is frequently associated with hypoplasia of the aortic arch, which is proof of earlier poor foetal flow. Many hypoplastic segments after coarctation repair will show good outgrowth, probably due to enhanced flow through the arch. Early repair during infancy optimises arch growth, while late repair… View more

Acute Coronary Syndrome in Pre- and Post-partum Women – A Review
Author(s): Gianfranco Aprigliano , Altin Palloshi , Nuccia Morici , et al Added: 3 years ago
Cardiovascular diseases represent the leading cause of mortality in pregnancy.1,2 They are classified as direct (acute onset disease) or indirect (worsening of pre-existing cardiac disease). This overview is focused on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in pregnancy and the post-partum period. ACS in this setting is a rare condition, but in the last two decades its incidence has grown.3 This… View more
