Safety and effectiveness of the novel Myval Octacor transcatheter heart valve in severe, symptomatic aortic valve stenosis - A real-world Indian experience (The OCTACOR India Study).

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the novel, next-generation Myval Octacor - Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) in patients with severe, symptomatic, native aortic stenosis (AS).

Methods: This multicenter, real-world observational registry included 123 patients with severe symptomatic AS, across 16 Indian centers who underwent treatment with the novel Myval Octacor THV. Study endpoints included all-cause mortality, all stroke, acute kidney injury (AKI), major vascular complications, moderate or severe paravalvular leakage (PVL) and new permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) until 30 days follow-up.

Transcatheter para mitral annular ring leak device closure - A case report.

Unlabelled: Para mitral annular ring leakage can occur following ring dehiscence after mitral annuloplasty. Percutaneous device closure of para-annular ring leakage can be performed successfully to treat such regurgitations with good transesophageal echocardiography guidance and patient selection. While para valvular device closure has been described in the medical literature, there have been few anecdotal reports published on para ring leak device closures.

Angiographic quantification of aortic regurgitation following myval octacor implantation; independent core lab adjudication.

Background: The balloon expandable Myval transcatheter heart valve (THV) showed encouraging results regarding residual aortic regurgitation (AR) from multiple observational studies. The newly designed Myval Octacor has been introduced recently, aiming for a reduction in AR and improved performance.

Objectives: The focus of this study is to report the incidence of AR using the validated quantitative Videodensitometry angiography technology (qLVOT-AR%) in the first in human use of the Myval Octacor THV system.

Saphenous vein graft aneurysm - Unusual cause of hemoptysis: A case report and review of literature.

Hemoptysis due to saphenous venous graft (SVG) aneurysm is an extremely rare condition and published literature has described the role of conservative management, surgical resection, and covered stent. Here, we report a successful placement of a covered stent for SVG aneurysm in a 56-year-old male who presented with hemoptysis. He was a known diabetic and had undergone a coronary artery bypass grafting 5 years ago.

Endovascular reconstruction of popliteal and infrapopliteal arteries for limb salvage and wound healing in patients with critical limb ischemia - A retrospective analysis.

Background: Advancement in endovascular techniques has led to rapid growth in endovascular revascularization, and it has emerged as a treatment for critical limb ischemia (CLI). Clinical effectiveness of revascularization has been frequently judged by vessel patency and limb salvage, but there is paucity of reports on outcomes of the wound. We present a retrospective analysis of immediate angiographic and 3-month clinical outcome of patients who underwent endovascular reconstruction of popliteal and infrapopliteal arteries for CLI.
