Predicting the unpredictable: application of predictive modeling in complex transcatheter aortic valve replacement

13 Dec 2023

This case highlights the potential add-on value of reduced-order computational modeling over standard CT scan analysis due to its ability to predict the interaction of different devices or sizes with the patient-specific anatomy.

Successful rotablation of a calcium spike blocking the motion of a mechanical prosthetic leaflet

27 Mar 2023

Thanks to this EIJ image, consider the case of a 46-year-old female patient who underwent a first aortic valve replacement at the age of 25, a second one 10 years later, together with a mitral valve replacement, and who presented with a displaced calcium spike from...

The effect of eliminating the hydrostatic pressure gradient during fractional flow reserve measurement

09 Feb 2023

Study the case of this 78-year-old male patient to understand why and how HPG may be important when measuring FFR in patients with CAD, as its height may influence the height of different FFR measurements, and, therefore, the patient management.

Repair of iatrogenic perforation of a pulmonary artery side branch with Micro Vascular Plug System

04 Dec 2022

Pulmonary artery rupture during right catheterization is a serious complication that needs to be solved urgently. The patient can be stabilized by tamponade of the pulmonary artery with the catheter balloon tip, as demonstrated in this image in cardiology.
