BackgroundThe left subclavian artery (LSA) can be intentionally covered by a stent graft to acquire adequate landing zones for a proximal entry tear near the LSA during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). The Castor single-branched stent graft is designed to treat type B aortic dissection (TBAD) to retain the LSA during TEVAR.

BackgroundValveinvalve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a recognized alternative for treating the structural valve deterioration of bioprosthetic valves. Agerelated differences in leaflet thrombosis did not predict hypoattenuated leaflet thickening, indicating that further studies are necessary to elucidate its implications.

FFR is obtained by dividing the pressure distal to the stenosis by the central aortic pressure, which is usually equal to the pressure proximal to the stenosis if there is no additional stenosis in between. Matching of the wire tip pressure and the aortic pressure should be done before crossing the lesion. Normal FFR is 1.0
