AB-482899-002 ETHANOL INFUSION FOR THE TREATMENT OF VENTRICULAR ARRHYTHMIAS: LESSONS FROM A CHINESE CENTER

HeartRhythm

However, the procedure is technically challenging and requires a good understanding of the fluoroscopic anatomy and angioplasty tools. Ethanol infusion could be effective for the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) arising from the left ventricular (LV) summit.

Abstract 4140682: Clinical Case: Flipping the Script: Tackling CAD in Dextrocardia During Cardiac Catheterization

Circulation

After guidewire crossing, balloon angioplasty was performed, and a drug-eluting stent was deployed. The left circumflex had 80% proximal stenosis with minimal luminal irregularities in the mid to distal portion. An intravascular ultrasound was also performed, which was negative for vessel dissection.

Abstract 191: Simulating Intracranial Stenosis: A Methodological Approach In An In?Vitro Neurovascular Model

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

We aimed to develop a 3D printed ICAD model including realistic features to provide an optimal simulation phantom for research and training purposes.MethodsStereolithography 3D printing technique was used to create a resin neurovascular model based on vascular anatomies extracted from anonymized CTA images.
