Controlled ring expansion during aortic valve-in-valve: a proof-of-concept CT-scan analysis
24 Jun 2024
Analyze this EIJ image to see how surgical aortic bioprostheses with expandable ring technology can significantly enhance future ViV procedures.

First-in-human experience with EasyCross: a novel catheter for a safe and correct aortic valve crossing
14 Jun 2024
This EIJ image highlights a new device designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of ViV TAVI procedures, particularly TAV-in-TAV, by reducing attempts to cross the valve and preventing guidewire misnavigation, thereby minimizing complications and procedure time.

Double barrel in CTO PCI
23 Apr 2024
This EIJ image illustrates a crucial case, emphasizing the importance of confirming wire position in the true lumen during dissection and re-entry techniques in CTO PCI.

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.

Interventional closure of LVOT to LA shunt after aortic valve replacement
30 Jun 2023
Watch the case of a 79-year-old male patient admitted to hospital with progressive dyspnea in NYHA functional class III-IV and signs of fluid overload, who presented a subannular perforation of LVOT in the region of fibrous aortomitral continuity, and find out how he was treated.

Pulmonary artery perforation after percutaneous left atrial appendage closure: possible mechanisms and red flags
26 Jun 2023
The present clinical case highlights some anatomical, functional, and devices-related features which may be used as red flag in the LAAO procedure planning due to prevent PA perforation, a rare but serious complication.

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.

Simultaneous aortography and left ventriculography for transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation in patients with a stentless bioprosthetic aortic valve
16 Dec 2022
Thanks to this image in cardiology, watch how an 82-year-old female patient underwent transcatheter ViV implantation for symptomatic severe SVD of the stentless pericardial bioprosthesis that had been implanted 4 years ago.

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.
