Bioprosthetic Valve Fracture for Early Severe Prosthesis Mismatch After SAVR
Rapid Communication
07/01/2020
Ashleigh Long, MD, PhD; Paul Mahoney, MD
Bioprosthetic valve fracture, where high-pressure balloon inflation is employed to fracture the surgical valve sewing ring to increase the effective orifice area (EOA), has been used as an adjunct for valve-in-valve procedures for degenerated...

The Original Coronary “Full Metal Jacket”: A 30-Year Journey
07/01/2020
David L. Fischman, MD; Michael P. Savage, MD, CVT; Sheldon Goldberg, MD, FACC, FSCAI; John Lawrence, MD
This report provides a 30-year follow-up on a noteworthy case first described in 1989 by Fischman et al in the Journal of Invasive Cardiology. The original article provided the first known report of extensive intracoronary stenting, deployed...

May-Thurner Syndrome Results in Life-Threatening Condition: Phlegmasia Cerulea Dolens and Rhabdomyolysis
Clinical Images

Wai Kin Chi, MBChB; G.M. Tan, MBChB; Bryan P. Yan, MBBS, FRACP, MD
Venography alone may underestimate the extent of common iliac vein compression in May-Thurner syndrome. Peripheral intravascular ultrasound is mandatory to better assess common iliac vein compression.

Bruno da Silva Matte, MD, MSc; Felipe H. Valle, MD, PhD; Joana Brum, MD; Nadine Clausell, MD, PhD; Livia A. Goldraich, MD, MSc
Coronary-to-cardiac chamber fistulae and coronary aneurysms are potential complications after heart transplantation. In the setting of exercise intolerance and large fistulae at major coronary vessels, covered stents may provide an effective...

“Avulsion Injury” of the Artery by a Suture-Mediated Closure System During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Clinical Images
06/30/2020
Masaki Izumo, MD, PhD; Kazuaki Okuyama, MD; Toshiki Kaihara, MD, PhD; Mika Watanabe, MD; Masashi Koga, MD; Ryo Kamijima, MD, PhD; Yasuhiro Tanabe, MD, PhD; Yuki Ishibashi, MD, PhD; Takumi Higuma, MD, PhD; Yoshihiro J. Akashi, MD, PhD; Shingo Kuwata, MD, PhD
We describe a cut-down method that is useful in cases with calcification restricted to the region surrounding the puncture site in transcatheter aortic valve implantation patients with severe aortic stenosis.

Ioannis Tsiafoutis, MD; Michalis Koutouzis, MD, PhD; Theodoros Zografos, MD, PhD; Apostolos Katsivas, MD, PhD
Percutaneous pseudoaneurysm repair through the ipsilateral ulnar artery is an alternative to surgical repair; however, distal radial access, as described in this case, may offer increased safety.
