Aim: This study investigated the association between gestational age and birth size with pubertal timing, measured as peak height velocity, and adult height.
Methods: This retrospective, population-based study was conducted in Sweden in 2023. A sub-group of the 1974 and 1990 GrowUp Gothenburg cohorts was used (n = 4700, 50% males).
Background/aim: Despite advancements in valve technology and increased clinical experience, complications related to conduction defects after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVR) have not improved as rapidly as expected. In this study, we aimed to predict the development of complete atrioventricular (AV) block and bundle branch block during and after the TAVR procedure and to investigate any changes in the cardiac conduction system before and after the procedure using electrophysiological study.
Materials And Methods: A total of 30 patients who were scheduled for TAVR at our cardiovascular council were planned to be included in the study.
Article Synopsis
- Bifurcation involvement in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a significant challenge, but this factor hasn't been widely studied or included in existing scoring systems.
- An analysis of 3,948 CTO-PCI procedures from 92 European centers revealed that 33% of these cases involved bifurcation lesions, which were generally more complex and required more sophisticated devices, resulting in higher radiation and contrast exposure.
- Despite comparable overall technical success rates between bifurcation and non-bifurcation lesions, bifurcation lesions located within the CTO segment faced significantly lower success rates, making it crucial to consider their presence in future PCI assessments.
