A Novel Risk Score to Predict  One-Year Mortality in Patients Undergoing Complex High-Risk Indicated Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (CHIP-PCI)
04/01/2021
Terrence J. Sacchi, MD; Gregory J. Cunn, MD; Issa Kutkut, MD; Pankil H. Desai, MD; Mouzamjha Faroqui, MD; Sorin J. Brener, MD; Le Dung Ha, MD; Garima Handa, MD; Adnan Raza, MD
Our aim was to identify patients undergoing complex, high-risk indicated percutaneous coronary intervention (CHIP-PCI) and compare their outcomes with non-CHIP patients. We created a CHIP score to risk stratify these patients.

Evaluation of a Real-World In-Hospital Antiplatelet-Switching Strategy Following Coronary Interventions: The SWITCH Study
04/01/2021
Nikolaos Kakouros, MBBS, PhD, MRCP, MD(Res); Antoine E. Soueid, MD, PharmD, JD; Ibrahim Kassas, MD; Jeffrey Rade, MD
Newer antiplatelet therapy agents are reliable and have a fast onset of action, but have significantly higher cost, leading to compliance concerns. We adopted and evaluated an acute agent-switching strategy, using prasugrel or ticagrelor for...

Characteristics and Outcomes of Patients Ineligible for Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR): Implications for Future Device Innovation
04/01/2021
Roya Sedighian, MD; Jessica Weimann, MD; Niklas Schofer, MD; Andreas Schäfer, MD; Lisa Voigtländer, MD; Lara Waldschmidt, MD; Johannes Schirmer, MD; Simon Pecha, MD; Hermann Reichenspurner, MD; Edith Lubos, MD; Daniel Kalbacher, MD; Stefan Blankenberg, MD; Dirk Westermann, MD; Moritz Seiffert, MD; Lenard Conradi, MD; Sebastian Ludwig, MD; Benedikt Koell, MD
Due to high rates of transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) screening failure, a substantial proportion of patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) remain on optimal medical treatment only. This study aimed to assess...

The Yin-Yang Sign of Severe Mitral Regurgitation
Clinical Images

Edris Aman, MD; Pankaj Malhotra, MD; Jason H. Rogers, MD; Jonathan Yap, MBBS, MRCP, MPH, MD
In select patients with severe, eccentric mitral regurgitation (MR), we have observed that the regurgitant jet may entrain blood along the left atrial wall to produce a Chinese yin-yang symbol on color Doppler.

An 81-year-old female with severe aortic valve stenosis underwent TAVR using the right femoral approach. Her treatment was complicated by embolization, believed to be caused by a broken-off fragment of the femoral artery that migrated on the...
