The Evolution of Endovascular Therapy for Intracranial Aneurysms: Historical Perspective and Next Frontiers.

The history of cerebral aneurysm treatment has a rich and storied past with multiple notable luminaries contributing insights. The modern era has transitioned from primarily clip ligation to increasing use of endovascular therapy. Even more recently, the use of intrasaccular flow diverters has been introduced for the treatment of wide necked aneurysms.

The New Role of Telehealth in Contemporary Medicine.

Purpose Of Review: Understand the current uses for telehealth as well as future directions as it relates to the COVID-19 pandemic and cardiovascular medicine.

Recent Findings: Telehealth interventions in various forms have proven to be efficacious in the management of obesity, hypertension, glycemic control in diabetes, hyperlipidemia, medication adherence, and ICU length of stay and mortality. The use and study of such interventions have been greatly expanded during the pandemic partly due to the expanded coverage by payers.

Promoting Cardiac Rehabilitation in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients: Quality Initiative Based on Education, Automated Referral, and Multidisciplinary Rounds.

Cardiac rehabilitation is a class 1 recommendation for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients according to the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association. However, only 1 in 5 ACS patients are referred for cardiac rehabilitation nationally, and even fewer at our institution. We sought to improve the number of referrals to cardiac rehabilitation for post-ACS patients admitted to our inpatient cardiology service, and ultimately their participation in the program.

Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement to treat multijet paravalvular regurgitation: A case series and review.

Treatment advances for severe symptomatic aortic stenosis including transcatheter and open surgical valve replacement have improved patient survival, length of stay, and speed to recovery. However, paravalvular regurgitation (PVR) is occasionally seen and when moderate or greater in severity is associated with an at least 2-fold increase in 1 year mortality. While several treatment approaches focused on single-jet PVR have been described in the literature, few reports describe multijet PVR.

The effect of remote patient monitoring on the primary care clinic visit frequency among adults with type 2 diabetes.

Aims: Healthcare organizations are increasingly using technology to assist in diabetes management based on telemedicine's proven ability to improve glycemic regulation, decrease cost, and overcome barriers to effective healthcare. Nevertheless, it remains unclear how telemedicine intersects with primary care. We aim to measure the impact of a remote monitoring program for diabetes on primary care delivery through analysis of primary care office visit frequency.

Effects of an Academic Half Day in a Residency Program on Perceived Educational Value, Resident Satisfaction and Wellness.

Background: The academic half day (AHD) has emerged in recent years as an alternative to the traditional noon conference model of didactic teaching in graduate medical education. However, the effects of this change on learners are not fully understood. This study aimed to assess the effects of the AHD on attendance, satisfaction, perceived value and wellness of resident physicians.

Update on Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive approach to treat symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. The patient populations that have been shown to benefit from this procedure continue to grow with time. Techniques and technology in TAVR persistently advance with a continued trend toward improved outcomes for patients.
