Presented are the results of the use of the transfemoral approach for coronary arteriography, as a safe alternative to the brachial approach, in evaluating patients in cardiogenic shock. Five patients, each with an intraaortic balloon pump device in operation, were evaluated. No complications were encountered using the transfemoral approach.

Right ventricular myocardial infarction (RVMI) is a significant and distinct form of acute myocardial infarction associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. It occurs most commonly due to proximal right coronary artery obstruction, often in conjunction with inferior myocardial infarction. RVMI poses unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to the anatomical and functional differences between the right and left ventricles.

From the Department of Radiology (S.Q., R.C., J.C.C., M.M., B.D.A., R.A.) and the Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine (V.A., J.E.W., R.L.W., D.C.L.), Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, 737 N Michigan Ave, Ste 1600, Chicago, IL 60611; Prince Charles Hospital, Chermside, Queensland, Australia (V.A.); and the Department of Biomedical Engineering, McCormick School of Engineering, Northwestern University, Chicago, Ill (M.M.).

Orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) is a well-established therapy for end-stage heart failure that leads to improved long-term survival rates, with careful allograft surveillance essential for optimizing clinical outcomes after OHT. Unfortunately, complications can arise after OHT that can compromise the success of the OHT. Cardiac MRI is continually evolving, with a range of advanced techniques that can be applied to evaluate allograft structure and function.

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of concomitant CAD assessment on pre-TAVI (transcatheter aortic valve implantation) planning CTA (CT angiography) aided by CT-FFR (CT-fractional flow reserve) [The CT2TAVI protocol] and investigates the incremental value of CT-FFR to coronary CT angiography (CCTA) alone in the evaluation of patients undergoing CT2TAVI. This is a prospective observational real-world cohort study at an academic health system on consecutive patients who underwent CTA for TAVI planning from 1/2021 to 6/2022. This represented a transition period in our health system, from not formally reporting CAD on pre-TAVI planning CTA (Group A) to routinely reporting CAD on pre-TAVI CTA (Group B; CT2TAVI protocol).
