Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann
November 2022
Cardiology Department, Assiut University Heart Hospital, 68797Assiut University, Assiut, Egypt.
Background: Although there is a trend toward direct transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), still balloon predilatation is necessary in some cases, especially in patients with severe calcification. However, predilatation including rapid ventricular pacing may have adverse outcomes, especially in patients with reduced ejection factor (EF).
Objective: To evaluate the impact of predilatation on in-hospital outcomes in patients with reduced versus preserved EF underwent TAVI.

Rheumatology Department, Faculty of Medicine, 63527Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt.
Background: Salivary gland ultrasound (SGUS) is a reliable technique for assessing the salivary glands in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS); however, the role of SGUS for diagnosis of secondary SS (sSS) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was not examined.
Objective: To assess the diagnostic value of SGUS for sSS in patients with SLE, and to investigate the relationship between SGUS findings with clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with SLE.
Patients And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 49 patients with SLE.
