Artificial intelligence-based, non-invasive assessment of the central aortic pressure in adults after operative or interventional treatment of aortic coarctation

Open Heart

Background Aortic coarctation (CoA) is a congenital anomaly leading to upper-body hypertension and lower-body hypotension. This study evaluated the use of artificial intelligence-based pulse wave analysis (AI-PWA) to assess central aortic blood pressure (CABP) and related parameters in post-treatment CoA patients. ±14.4

Bare metal stent application to prevent limb occlusion in iliac arteries with severe tortuosity during an endovascular aneurysm repair: a cohort study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

A bare metal stent (BMS) may protect LGO, according to the hypothesis of this single-center retrospective analysis.MethodsAll patients undergoing elective EVAR with a bifurcated stent graft between January 2012 and June 2022 were included in this cohort study. At a mean follow-up imaging duration of 28.7 ± 23.6 months

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

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

The phantom includes the aortic arch, all supraoptic cervical arteries and a complete circle of Willis up to the M2‐MCA, A2‐ACA and P2‐PCA segments. After angioplasty (Gateway PTA Balloon Catheter 3.5x20mm, Boston Scientific) and stenting (Wingspan 2.5mmx15mm, Stryker) were performed the residual stenosis was <10% (Figure 1).

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Overall, 27/36 procedures were interventional, including 6 aortic valvuloplasties, 6 balloon angioplasties, and 15 stenting procedures. Results We identified 30 patients (66.7% males) with a median age of 1.1 months (IQR, 0.3–5.4), 5.4), and a median weight of 3.1 kg kg (IQR, 2.7–3.7). months (IQR, 1.7–5.1). mm (IQR, 2.4–3).
