Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of CA and PCI in acute settings among patients who have undergone TAVR. The study found that CA or PCI after TAVR in acute settings is usually successful, but selective coronary engagement may be more challenging in the presence of long SFPs. Among patients requiring PCI, prior diabetes, cardiogenic shock, and failed PCI were predictors of early mortality.

Summary: This study used finite-element analysis to quantify coronary flow in a patient who underwent TAVR-in-TAVR and found that high implantation depth and device undersize of the second THV can significantly reduce coronary flow. Additionally, a positive correlation was observed between coronary flow and the valve-to-coronary distance.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate PCI incidence and causes following TAVR, showing a declining trend over time and a shift from acute to chronic coronary syndromes as predominant indications. Unplanned PCIs post-TAVR are frequently successful, with no significant differences between balloon-expandable and self-expandable bioprostheses.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of cusp symmetry and coronary ostial eccentricity on coronary access following TAVR. The results showed that patients with less coronary ostial eccentricity had better consistency in the right/left cusp and coronary ostia overlap view.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the rate of noncentered coronary ostia and their risk for coronary overlap (CO) and develop an improved orientation strategy for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) devices to identify patients at risk for CO and calculate an alternative, CO-free TAVR rotation angle for those patients.

Summary: Stenting has been used as a therapy for coronary artery disease for 35 years and is the most commonly performed minimally invasive procedure worldwide. It has greatly improved the outcomes of acute myocardial infarction and acute coronary syndromes. The development of stents has had highs and lows, with continuous improvements in materials, design, coatings, and procedural innovations. Future iterations of stent design and materials will continue to push the development of stents.

Summary: The effect of previous coronary stenting on subsequent coronary artery bypass graft is inconclusive. This retrospective study using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Database found that previous coronary stenting before multivessel coronary artery bypass graft significantly increased 30-day mortality but did not affect late survival. However, patients who had coronary stenting before coronary artery bypass graft experienced more revascularization events during late follow-up.

Summary: Patient-specific and lesion-specific computational simulation of bifurcation stenting is an effective approach for individualized pre-procedural planning and improving outcomes. The study demonstrated high agreement between computational stent simulation and clinical cases in terms of lumen diameter and stent size, suggesting the feasibility and accuracy of patient-specific computational stenting for coronary bifurcations. Future clinical studies are needed to further explore the potential of computational stenting simulations in guiding decision-making and enhancing clinical outcomes in cardiac catheterization labs.

Summary: About half of TAVR recipients have some degree of coronary artery disease (CAD), and controversial results exist regarding the impact of CAD on clinical outcomes post-TAVR. Recent data suggests promising results on the use of cardiac computed tomography angiography and functional invasive assessment of coronary lesions in the pre-TAVR work-up.

Summary: This study developed a 2D index based on preprocedural CT data to evaluate the risk of coronary obstruction during TAVR procedures. The DLC2D/d index was found to be more predictive of obstruction or poor TAVR candidacy compared with h and SOVd measurements. The geometric model derived in this study shows promise for identifying patients who may be safely treated with TAVR.

Summary: A 61-year-old African American woman with acute submassive pulmonary embolism and chronic kidney disease underwent a successful catheter-directed pulmonary embolectomy without the use of intravenous contrast to prevent contrast-induced acute kidney injury. This case represents the first reported use of an IVUS-only approach in a patient with acute submassive PE and CKD.
