Left Ventricular Pressure Ratio Predicts In-Hospital Outcomes in Hospitalized Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction
06/16/2021
Atman P. Shah, MD, FACC, FSCAI; Janet Friant, MSN, APN; Rohan J. Kalathiya, MD; Sandeep Nathan, MD, MSc, FACC, FSCAI; Jonathan Grinstein, MD; Sameh W. Almousa, BA; Tess Allan, BA; Allison Stephens, BS; Joseph Kern, MD; Jonathan D. Paul, MD; Miryea Cisneros, BS; John E.A. Blair, MD; Cynthia Arevalo, BA
Given the risk of hemodynamic compromise in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction patients undergoing left heart catheterization, there is a need for a simple parameter that can predict clinical outcomes. We hypothesize that left...

Clinical Utility of Novel Fractional Flow Reserve Pullback for Individual Lesion Contribution in Serial Disease
06/07/2021
Divaka Perera, MB, MD, MA, MRCP; Antonio Colombo, MD; Bhavik N. Modi, MBBS, PhD; Haseeb Rahman, PhD, MD; Matthew Ryan, MBChB, BSc; Sara Abou Sherif, MBBS; Howard Ellis, BSc
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) pullback is frequently used to assess serially diseased arteries, but has been shown to be inaccurate due to physiological interaction between individual lesions. We evaluated the clinical utility of a novel...

Dry Field Closure of Large-Bore Access With Iliac Artery Angioplasty Through the Ipsilateral Sheath: The Single-Access Dry-Closure Technique
06/29/2021
Jason Wollmuth, MD; Rajiv Tayal, MD, MPH; Hady Lichaa, MD
The use of large-bore sheaths has risen exponentially in the last decade partly due to the growth of structural heart interventions and various mechanical circulatory support options.

Massoud A. Leesar, MD, FACC; William B. Hillegass, MD, MPH, FACC; Ibrahim Saif, MD; Kelli L. Hagood, RN; Leigh C. Powell, MSN, RN, CCRC; Brigitta C. Brott, MD
Optimal stent deployment by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) improves outcome, but it can only be achieved in 50% of patients. We investigated the feasibility and effect of a new method of stent optimization on optimal stent deployment.
