Background: The level of radiation exposure received by operators performing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is not well investigated. The aim of this study is to measure the amount of radiation received by operators performing transfemoral TAVR and to identify various patient and procedural characteristics associated with increased radiation exposure.
Methods: Primary (operator 1) and secondary (operator 2) operators' equivalent radiation doses in micro Sieverts (µSv) were calculated prospectively using real-time radiation dosimeters for a total of 140 consecutive transfemoral TAVRs.
Article Synopsis
- Doctors are studying two special treatment methods, orbital atherectomy (OA) and rotational atherectomy (RA), to see which one works better for patients with hardening arteries.
- They found that while OA reduces the time doctors spend using a special camera during the procedure, both methods are pretty similar in how safe and effective they are afterward.
- In the end, OA was better for saving time, but both treatments had similar results for patients in terms of problems or complications after the surgery.
Introduction: The purpose of this meta-analysis is to compare the efficacy of MitraClip plus medical therapy versus medical therapy alone in patients with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR). FMR caused by left ventricular dysfunction is associated with poor prognosis. Whether MitraClip improves clinical outcomes in this patient population remains controversial.

Background: TAVR is proven to be safe and effective in patients with high- and intermediate-risk aortic stenosis. However, there is limited data on the safety and efficacy of TAVR in patients with low surgical risk.
Left main percutaneous coronary intervention-Radial versus femoral access: A systematic analysis.
Catheter Cardiovasc Interv
June 2020
Background: Debate still occurs of the benefits of transradial access (TRA) versus transfemoral access (TFA), especially for complex percutaneous coronary interventions. Recent data has shown equivalent efficacy and improved safety outcomes with TRA.
Objectives: To systematically review and perform a meta-analysis comparing procedural characteristics and clinical outcomes of TRA versus TFA in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for left main (LM) disease.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare safety and efficacy of patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure compared with medical therapy in patients with cryptogenic stroke (CS).
Background: The role of PFO closure in preventing recurrent stroke in patients with prior CS has been controversial.
Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled trials, and the clinical trial registry maintained at clinicaltrials.
species are a commensal flora of the human gastrointestinal and the female genitourinary tract. especially the species, are common components of commercial probiotics. They are rarely associated with pathology in immunocompetent people, but they have been known to cause dental caries, bacteremia, and endocarditis in patients with suppressed immune function.
