IntroductionPercutaneous balloon valvuloplasty is the treatment of choice for critical pulmonary valve stenosis (CPS) and pulmonary valve atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA/IVS) if the ventricle has a suitable size. The Z-scores of pulmonary valve diameter, balloon/annulus ratio, number of cusps, and persisting stenosis were analyzed.
Objectives The clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and concomitant active cancer remain insufficiently explored. Results Of the 2336 patients who underwent TAVR from October 2013 to July 2017, 89 patients (3.8%) had active cancer, whereas 2247 did not.
However, the prognostic value of malnutrition status in patients with moderatetosevere aortic stenosis is unclear. ConclusionsIn patients with moderate or severe aortic stenosis, we found that high CONUT scores, low nutritional risk index scores, and low prognostic nutritional index scores were associated with allcause death.
Getty Images milla1cf Mon, 01/29/2024 - 14:24 January 29, 2024 — Despite national guidelines recommending surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for patients under age 65 with severe aortic stenosis , many hospitals are still opting for a nonsurgical approach in patients under 60—possibly with poorer survival rates.
We aimed to investigate the association between VAH and atherosclerotic stenosis of subclavian artery (SA), vertebral artery (VA) and basilar artery (BA) based on digital subtraction angiography (DSA).Methods:In VAH and stenosis degree of the artery (i.e., p< 0.001) and basilar artery stenosis (BAS) (left VAH: OR 2.94, 95% CI 2.15-4.04,p<
Since intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS)‐related stroke is prevalent in Asian population, we evaluated the relationship between lipid indices and ICAS burden.MethodsWe analyzed consecutively enrolled 1220 patients with acute ischemic stroke from March 2009 to May February 2013, who underwent brain MRI and MRA.
BUT — Cardiac catheterization done a little later did not reveal any significant stenosis. Despite the absence of significant coronary stenosis on her post-arrest cath — the ECG in Figure-1 is clearly diagnostic of an extensive anterolateral STEMI ( presumably from acute LAD [ L eft A nterior D escending ] coronary artery occlusion).
Methods We retrospectively analysed data from 745 consecutive patients who underwent TAVI for severe aortic stenosis from November 2013 to July 2022. To seek the predictors and clinical impacts of PPMI and investigate the recovery rate from conduction disorders.
In the first study presented at The Society of Thoracic Surgeons’ 2024 Annual Meeting , researchers analyzed outcomes from 37k California-based patients who underwent SAVR or TAVR between 2013 to 2021… Of the 2,360 patients under the age of 60, 22% received TAVR and 78% received SAVR.
Even in patients whose moderate stenosis undergoes thrombosis, most angiograms show greater than 50% stenosis after the event. However, one can certainly imagine that many thromboses of non-obstructive lesions completely lyse and do not leave a stenosis on same day or next day angiogram.
Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is often a contraindication to liver transplantation (LT). We identified 674 patients with liver cirrhosis who received LT at UCLA from 1/1/2013 to 12/31/2023 and investigated the change in echocardiographic hemodynamics within a year of the procedure. There was a 5.5% ms-1, p = 0.02).
Because it was done in 2010-2013. As a cardiologist, very soon we will be allowed legally to choose TAVI even in more younger , low risk cohort of Aortic stenosis without co-morbid conditions. No doubt ,the Aortic interventional world is applauding and everyone is joining the party. Now, some academic queries ?
A transthoracic echocardiogram showed an LV EF of less than 15%, critically severe aortic stenosis , severe LVH , and a small LV cavity. The aortic valve in this example also had critical stenosis by Doppler The patient continued to be hemodynamically unstable with poor cardiac output and very high LV filling pressures.
Post operatively there could be branch pulmonary artery stenosis, residual right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, pulmonary regurgitation or residual left to right shunts noted during long term follow up. 2013 Dec;23(6):883-7. Arch Med Sci Atheroscler Dis. 2018 Jun 28;3:e72-e79. doi: 10.5114/amsad.2018.76824. 2018.76824.
Other trials that evaluated this subject were the WOEST trial (2013), Pioneer AF-PCI trial (2016), and ISAR-TRIPLE (2015). Severe mitral stenosis C. Explanation: The RE-DUAL PCI trial evaluated differences between triple therapy and dual therapy using antiplatelets/anticoagulant. Incorrect Answers: A and E. Hyperdynamic ventricle D.
History sounds concerning for ACS (could be critical stenosis, triple vessel), but differential also includes dissection, GI bleed, etc. 2 cases of Aortic Stenosis: Diffuse Subendocardial Ischemia on the ECG. His response: “subendocardial ischemia. Anything more on history? POCUS will be helpful.” Left main? 3-vessel disease?
link] A 62 year old man with a history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and carotid artery stenosis called 911 at 9:30 in the morning with complaint of chest pain. This is written by Willy Frick, an amazing cardiology fellow in St. He described it as "10/10" intensity, radiating across his chest from right to left.
Also, anterior MI could result from 1) ACS, but also from 2) severe ischemia due to combination of a hemodynamically significant LAD stenosis + severe hypotension during cardiac arrest. Current Emergency and Hospital Medicine Reports (2013) 1:4352. In spite of all the evidence, we are still left in the dark! References : 1.
7) The 2013 ACC/AHA STEMI guidelines consider this a “STEMI equivalent,” where thrombolytic therapy is not contraindicated (Evidence level B, no specific class of recommendation).(16) baseline LVH, demand ischemia secondary to respiratory failure, aortic stenosis, hemorrhagic shock). TIMI 0/1 flow).(61,62) Knotts et al.
Jeffery Dormu was a double board certified vascular surgeon who was paid $13 million dollars by Medicare alone between 2013 and 2017. These studies revealed an 80% stenosis of the left superficial femoral artery and 100% occlusion of all three tibial vessels. Dormu also performed a mechanical atherectomy of all three tibial vessels.
So the patient was taken for emergent cath, showing: Culprit artery: LAD (100% stenosis, TIMI 0) requiring thrombectomy and stent. South African flag pattern, plus precordial swirl pattern. Queen of Hearts interpretation: Now the cardiologist considered it "STEMI"!
Background Treatment of severe aortic stenosis with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was introduced in 2002. The 13-year period was divided into period 1 (2008–2012), period 2 (2013–2017), and period 3 (2018–2021).
Aims Paradoxical low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (pLFLG AS) may represent a diagnostic challenge, and its pathophysiology is complex. AF, atrial fibrillation; LAVI, left atrial volume index; RA, right atrial; RV, right ventricular; sPAP, systolic pulmonary artery pressure; SVI, stroke volume index; TR, tricuspid regurgitation.
