Background And Purpose: Core-lab adjudicated data regarding the efficacy of the single-stent assisted aneurysm coiling technique 'L-stenting' are lacking. We present a multicenter, core-lab adjudicated study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of single-stent assisted coiling in the treatment of wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms (WNBAs).

Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent L-stenting for WNBAs at three academic institutions between 2015 and 2019 were included in this retrospective study. Clinical safety and efficacy outcomes were gathered from the patient chart, and angiographic imaging was evaluated by core lab analysis. Safety and efficacy outcomes were summarized and predictors of safety and efficacy were calculated.

Results: Of 128 patients treated, 124 had angiographic outcome data at last follow-up. Of those, 110 had adequate (core-lab adjudicated modified Raymond Roy (mRR) score of 1 or 2) occlusion (88.7%). During follow-up, 19 patients (14.8%) required retreatment. There were 17 complications experienced in 12 patients: intraoperative (n=8, 6.25%), perioperative (n=5, 3.9%), or delayed (n=6; n=4 attributed to device/procedure, 3.1%). Significant predictors of complete occlusion were smaller aneurysm size and use of the jailing technique (P=0.0276). Significant predictors of retreatment were larger size, neck size, and larger dome to neck ratio (P=0.0008).

Conclusion: This study provides multicenter, core-lab adjudicated angiographic data regarding the efficacy of single-stent assisted coiling for WNBAs. This study acts as a validated comparator for future studies investigating novel devices or techniques for treating this challenging subgroup of aneurysms.

Midterm survival, clinical, and hemodynamic outcomes of a novel mechanical mitral valve prosthesis.

J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg

November 2024

Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Mount Sinai Saint Luke's, New York, NY.

Objective: To evaluate the midterm survival, clinical, and hemodynamic outcomes of the On-X mechanical mitral valve, based on the 5-year results of the Prospective Randomized On-X Anticoagulation Clinical Trial (PROACT).

Method: PROACT Mitral was a multicenter study evaluating 401 patients who underwent mitral valve replacement (MVR) with either Standard or Conform-X On-X mitral valves, comparing low-dose and standard-dose warfarin. Here we report prespecified secondary outcomes of survival, New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification, and valve hemodynamics as assessed by core lab-adjudicated echocardiography at 1, 3, and 5 years in the pooled population.

Background: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) derived from CCTA (FFR-CT) may provide a means of reducing unnecessary invasive coronary angiography (ICA) in patients with suspected non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS).

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of FFR-CT and CCTA to rule out significant lesions in high-risk NSTE-ACS patients, using ICA with invasive FFR as the gold standard.

Methods: High-risk NSTE-ACS patients admitted to 4 European centres were enrolled in this single-arm, prospective core lab-adjudicated study.

Background: Treatment of large vessel occlusion (LVO) using mechanical thrombectomy with or without intravenous thrombolysis has demonstrated better outcomes compared to medical treatment alone. Large-bore aspiration catheters have been recently introduced. Their effectiveness and safety have not been demonstrated in a randomized trial.

Background: The effect of endovascular therapy (EVT) on the outcome of stroke patients with a medium distal vessel occlusion (MDVO) is unclear. We report the results of MDVO patients treated with the 3 mm Trevo stent retriever (SR) and/or the AXS Catalyst 5 distal access catheter.

Methods: Data was derived from a prospective, multicenter global registry (ASSIST registry) which enrolled patients treated with operator preferred EVT technique at 71 sites from January 2019 to January 2022.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the development of arrhythmias in patients at risk of high-degree atrioventricular block (HAVB) or complete heart block (CHB) after undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using smartwatch technology.
  • It analyzes data from 188 patients monitored for 30 days post-TAVR, focusing on the incidence and timing of arrhythmic events and pacemaker implantation.
  • Results show an increased incidence of left bundle branch block (LBBB) initially, with higher pacemaker implantation rates in patients at greater risk of HAVB/CHB, and identified factors predictive of needing a pacemaker.
