Early experience with a novel transapical transcatheter aortic valve system in patients with severe aortic stenosis: a prospective, multicenter study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

All patients were pre-TAVR assessed by transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography of the aortic valve (AV) and relevant left cardiac and vascular anatomy. Nanjing) to evaluate its safety and efficacy.Methods130 high risk patients with symptomatic severe AS from 11 institutions were treated with the novel Xcor system.

Abstract WP205: Association Between Bovine Aortic Arch Anatomy and Carotid Artery Stenosis

Stroke Journal

CTAs were reviewed to assess the carotid stenosis and the anatomy of the aortic arch. Unlimited propensity score matching was performed to balance baseline characteristics between patients with bovine and normal anatomies. Among the 65 patients included, 47 (74.6%) were male, with a median age of 70 [IQR:65.0-76.0]

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.

Outcomes Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Stenosis in Patients With Type 0 Bicuspid, Type 1 Bicuspid, and Tricuspid Aortic Valves

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

BACKGROUND:Data concerning the outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in type 0 bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS) are scarce. Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print. Self-expanding transcatheter heart valves were used in the majority of patients (n=1160; 91.4%). Poverall=0.522; 1 year: 10% versus 2.3%

The feasibility of relaxation-enhanced angiography without contrast and triggering for preprocedural planning of transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Methods Thirty patients with severe aortic stenosis were prospectively enrolled. The anatomical properties of the aortic root anatomy, including the perimeter and area of the virtual aortic valve annulus and coronary heights, were determined from 3D whole-heart MRI and cardiac CTA (CCTA) images, respectively.
