Objectives: Optimizing valve implantation depth (ID) plays a crucial role in minimizing conduction disturbances and achieving optimal functional integrity. Until now, the impact of intraprocedural fast (FP) or rapid ventricular pacing (RP) on the implantation depth has not been investigated. Therefore, we aimed to (1) evaluate the impact of different pacing maneuvers on ID, and (2) identify the independent predictors of deep ID.
Methods: 473 TAVR patients with newer-generation self-expanding devices were retrospectively enrolled and one-to-one propensity-score-matching was performed, resulting in a matching of 189 FP and RP patients in each cohort. The final ID was analyzed, and the underlying functional, anatomical, and procedural conditions were evaluated by univariate and multivariate analysis.
Results: The highest ID was reached under RP in severe aortic valve calcification and valve size 26 mm. Multivariate analysis identified left ventricular outflow (LVOT) calcification [OR 0.50 (0.31-0.81) p = 0.005*], a "flare" aortic root [OR 0.42 (0.25-0.71), p = 0.001*], and RP (OR 0.49 [0.30-0.79], p = 0.004*) as independent highly preventable predictors of a deep ID. In a model of protective factors, ID was significantly reduced with the number of protective criteria (0-2 criteria: - 5.7 mm ± 2.6 vs. 3-4 criteria - 4.3 mm ± 2.0; p < 0.0001*).
Conclusion: Data from this retrospective analysis indicate that RP is an independent predictor to reach a higher implantation depth using self-expanding devices. Randomized studies should prove for validation compared to fast and non-pacing maneuvers during valve delivery and their impact on implantation depth.
Trail Registration: Clinical Trial registration: NCT01805739.
Study Design: Evaluation of the impact of different pacing maneuvers (fast ventricular pacing-FP vs. rapid ventricular pacing-RP) on implantation depth (ID). After one-to-one-propensity-score-matching, independent protective and risk factors for a very deep ID beneath 6 mm toward the LVOT (< - 6 mm) were identified.

Purpose: To evaluate longer term outcomes of the Zilver Vena Venous Stent in patients undergoing venous stenting.
Materials And Methods: Patients with iliofemoral obstructive venous disease and treated with venous stents were retrospectively enrolled in a physician-led real-world data collection effort. Results were analyzed by etiologies: post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS), non-thrombotic iliac vein lesion (NIVL), and iliocaval acute deep vein thrombosis (aDVT).

The increasing age of patients with end-stage renal disease raises the issue of hostile arterial access for transplantation, with technical difficulties associated with clamping and suturing the iliac artery. Some of these patients - who theoretically represent those who would benefit the most from transplantation in terms of mortality - are contraindicated because of anatomical and medical issues. In this context, a specific endovascular device called EndoPreKiT (Endovascular Preparation for Kidney Transplantation) has been designed, enabling arterial access for transplantation via a mini-invasive procedure.

Esophago-jejunal anastomoses fistula could be mortal. Currently there is a wide therapeutic measure ranging from conservative management, endoscopic therapy and surgery. Endoscopic management has been positioned above other strategies due to minimal invasion which improves survival and reduces mortality.

Objective: We present our experience with endovascular Bentall procedure (Endo-Bentall) using a modular valve conduit (Endo-Bentall) in high-risk patients with aortic root pathologies.
Methods: The physician constructed Endo-Bentall device is composed of a self-expanding transcatheter aortic valve (TAVR), aortic endovascular stent graft (TEVAR), and two wire-reinforced fenestrations for coronary artery stenting. The TAVR valve is sutured into an appropriately sized TEVAR graft.

Objective: Over 30% of patients presenting with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) are considered high - risk or inoperable. This study aims to investigate the early and mid-term outcomes of complex endovascular aortic repair of aortic root, ascending aorta, and aortic arch among patients with ATAAD.
Methods: From January 2018 to January 2023, 29 patients who were considered high risk for open operation underwent endovascular aortic repair.
