Laser Coronary Atherectomy and polymeric coronary wires in uncrossable lesions – A word of caution Open
Background Excimer laser coronary atherectomy (ELCA) represents one of the last available options in case of balloon uncrossable lesions but no bench testing or clinical experience has been reported with polymeric wires. We aimed to assess…

Management and outcomes of patients with left atrial appendage thrombus prior to percutaneous closure Open
Objective Left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus has heretofore been considered a contraindication to percutaneous LAA closure (LAAC). Data regarding its management are very limited. The aim of this study was to analyse the medical and invas…

Outcomes of emergency compared to elective TAVI: a meta-analysis Open
Introduction and objectives: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has proven safe and effective in low-to-high risk patients, but emergency procedures have been excluded from the landmark trials. We aimed to assess the current ou…

Comparison of Figulla Flex® and Amplatzer™ devices for atrial septal defect closure: A meta-analysis Open
Percutaneous closure of ASD is a safe and effective, irrespective of the type of device. No differences exist regarding procedural success between the ASO and FSO devices but the last was associated to shorter procedure time, less radiatio…

Quantitative flow ratio in myocardial infarction for the evaluation of non-infarct-related arteries. The QIMERA pilot study Open
Introduction and objectives: Complete revascularization is recommended for the management of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMI). Although physiological evaluation is recommended for the assessment of nonculprit lesions, in…

Undescribed Anatomical Predictors of Vascular Injury after Fully-Percutaneous Trans Femoral Trans Catheter Aortic Valve Implantation Open
Background: Vascular injury (VI) remains frequent after trans catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We aimed to assess the incidence, predictive factors, and the impact of early VI after fully-percutaneous (FP) TAVI. Method: We includ…

Distal Vessel Quality Score as a Predictor of Graft Patency after Aorto-Coronary Bypass Graft: Towards the Optimization of the Revascularization Strategy Open
Aims: We aimed to develop a new simple angiographic score that would predict short- and mid-term patency problems of coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG). Methods: We enrolled 249 patients who underwent CABG. The Distal Vessel Quality (DVQ…
