Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a mathematical model to simulate mitral annular dilatation and evaluate its influence on the individualized mitral valve coaptation reserve index (CRI).
- The research involved a retrospective analysis of 3D echocardiographic data from 25 patients undergoing cardiac surgery, focusing on measuring coaptation lengths across different regions of the mitral valve.
- Findings indicated that the A2-to-P2 region generally had the lowest coaptation reserve index and was more susceptible to mitral regurgitation, suggesting a critical area for further investigation in mitral valve function.
Background: Radial access is the preferential access route in patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography. We hypothesised that we could reduce hospital stay and improve patient comfort by accelerated deflation of the radial compression device (Terumo radial band).
Aims: The aim of this study was to compare accelerated pressure reduction with a standard Terumo radial band protocol with regard to local bleeding complications and reported pain scores after cardiac catheterisation.

Background: Cardiogenic shock due to severe aortic regurgitation in patients with left ventricle assist devices is a life threatening condition. Here, we consider transcatheter aortic valve implantation as a treatment option.
Methods And Results: A patient with a left ventricle assist device was presented to us with cardiogenic shock due to severe aortic regurgitation.
