Article Synopsis
- Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has transformed how patients with severe aortic stenosis are treated, becoming the go-to option for those who can't undergo surgery and preferred for higher-risk patients.
- Advances in technology and experience have led to an updated position paper by the Italian Society of Interventional Cardiology on TAVI practices.
- The document aims to guide institutions and operators in evaluating their ability to effectively launch and sustain a TAVI program.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to appraise 2-year outcomes after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of long femoropopliteal artery disease using paclitaxel-coated balloons (PCBs).
Background: Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with PCBs for TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus types C and D femoropopliteal artery disease has provided favorable results ≤12 months but no prospective studies performed longer term follow-up assessment.
Methods: Consecutive patients with Rutherford class 2 to 4 disease due to femoropopliteal lesions >15 cm long were prospectively enrolled in a multicenter study.

Background: Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with paclitaxel-coated balloons for TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus types A and B femoropopliteal artery disease has provided favorable results.
Methods: Consecutive patients with Rutherford class 2 to 4 disease due to femoropopliteal lesions >15 cm long and with 4- to 7-mm reference vessel diameter were prospectively enrolled in a multicenter study.
Aims: Metabolomic, a systematic study of metabolites, may be a useful tool in understanding the pathological processes that underlie the occurrence and progression of a disease. We hypothesized that metabolomic would be helpful in assessing a specific pattern in heart failure patients, also according to the underlining causes and in defining, prior to device implantation, the responder and nonresponder patient to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
Methods: In this prospective study, blood and urine samples were collected from 32 heart failure patients who underwent CRT.
