Background: ProGlide is a percutaneous suture-mediated closure device used in arterial and venous closure following percutaneous intervention. Risk of vascular complications from use, particularly related to failure in hemostasis, or acute vessel closure, remains significant and often related to improper suture deployment. We describe a technique of ultrasound-guided ProGlide deployment in transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TF-TAVI).

Methods And Results: Consecutive patients assessed for heart transplantation at a single UK centre between January 2010 and May 2022 were included.
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of interventions to improve shared decision making (SDM) in cardiology with particular focus on patient-centred outcomes such as decisional conflict.
Methods: We searched Embase (OVID), the Cochrane library, PubMed and Web of Science electronic databases from inception to January 2021 for randomised controlled trials that investigated the effects of interventions to increase SDM in cardiology. The primary outcomes were decisional conflict, decisional anxiety, decisional satisfaction or decisional regret; a secondary outcome was knowledge gained by the patients.
Introduction: Emerging data suggest that cardioversion for atrial fibrillation (AF) may be associated with acute kidney injury (AKI). However, limited data are available regarding the incidence and risk factors for AKI after direct current cardioversion (DCCV) of AF.
Methods: All patients undergoing DCCV at Mayo Clinic between 2001 and 2012 for AF were prospectively enrolled in a database.
