Patient-specific 3D in vitro modeling and fluid dynamic analysis of primary pulmonary vein stenosis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionPrimary pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare congenital heart disease that proves to be a clinical challenge due to the rapidly progressive disease course and high rates of treatment complications. These 3D reconstructions were 3D printed using a clear resin ink and used in a benchtop experimental setup.

Stent‐in‐Stent Intervention for Pulmonary Vein in Stent Restenosis: A Long‐Term Follow‐Up Case Report

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

ABSTRACT Introduction Pulmonary vein (PV) restenosis develops with reported incidence rates of up to 50%. The stenosis was treated with a stent. years later he presented with an in-stent restenosis that was successfully treated with a stent-in-stent strategy. The stenosis was treated with a stent.

Absorbable metal stents for vascular use in pediatric cardiology: progress and outlook

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The past five years have yielded impressive advancements in fully absorbable metal stent technology. The desired ultimate ability for such devices to treat a vascular stenosis without long-term device-related complications or impeding future treatment continues to evoke excitement in clinicians and engineers alike.

OPTILOW: A Low‐Profile Approach for Implanting Optimus‐L Stents in Infants and Children

Journal of the American Heart Association

Stent performance was assessed.ResultsWe identified 28 patients (67.8% Stenotic lesions included 16 branch pulmonary arteries, 9 aortic isthmus, 2 right ventricular outflow tracts, and 1 Glenn anastomosis. Percentage of stenosis was 50% (IQR, 36%58%). Median stent expansion percentage was 95% (IQR, 90%96%).

Right Heart Catheterization in Tetralogy of Fallot

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Chance of precipitating a cyanotic spell are more when pulmonary angiography is attempted through the already narrow right ventricular outflow tract. initial shunt surgery is an option to allow the pulmonary artery branches to grow in size and for a later complete repair of tetralogy of Fallot [1]. If McGoon’s ratio is below 0.8,

Old ‘NSTEMI’ A history of coronary artery disease and a stent to the same territory further increases pre-test likelihood of acute coronary occlusion, including in-stent thrombosis. The patient had a history of ‘NSTEMI’ a decade prior, with an RCA stent. Does this change your interpretation?
