Initial experience with the novel patent foramen ovale occlusion device Nit‐Occlud® in patients with stroke or transient ischemic attack
ConclusionIn patients with cryptogenic stroke or TIA and a PFO, the Nit‐Occlud® PFO Occlusion Device appears to be both a safe and effective means to occlude the PFO. It is associated with high procedural success and favorable rates of complete closure. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

PFO closure with only fluoroscopic guidance: 7 years real‐world single centre experience
ConclusionsIn our experience Fluoro‐G PFO closure was performed mainly in cases of simple anatomy, with similar results in terms of safety and efficacy compared to Echo‐G cases. Both fluoroscopy and total procedural times were lower in the Fluo‐G cases. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Impact of postoperative acute kidney injury on clinical outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: A meta‐analysis of 5,971 patients
ConclusionsPostoperative AKI seems to significantly worsen TAVI prognosis. The results of the present meta‐analysis should be considered hypothesis‐generating and future studies on risk stratification, prevention, and postoperative management are needed. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Neurologic complications after transradial or transfemoral approach for diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization: A propensity score analysis of 16,710 cases from a prospective registry
Conclusion. Rates of documented stroke/TIA were low. Our observational study suggests that widening the use of the transradial approach is not associated with an increased risk of clinically relevant procedure‐related neurologic complications.

Risk and Outcomes of Complications during and after MitraClip Implantation: Experience in 828 patients from the German TRAnscatheter Mitral valve Interventions (TRAMI) Registry
Conclusions: MitraClip implantation appears to be a safe treatment option with low rates of MACCE and clip‐specific complications. Nevertheless, MitraClip therapy is not without complications. Careful patient selection and improvements in preventing peri‐procedural bleeding have the potential of reducing post‐procedural complications and improving outcomes.

The Flatstent versus the conventional umbrella devices in the percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale
Conclusion: No difference was found in closure or complication rates between the Flatstent and the umbrella devices. With appropriate pre‐assessment of the PFO anatomy, the Flatstent works as a safe and effective method of treating the PFO from within the tunnel, especially in those with long tunnel PFOs. Longer follow up is needed to establish superiority. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Femoral vascular closure device use, bivalirudin anticoagulation, and bleeding after primary angioplasty for STEMI: Results from the HORIZONS‐AMI trial

Influence of percutaneous mitral valve repair using the MitraClip® system on renal function in patients with severe mitral regurgitation
Conclusion: Successful PMVR was associated with an improvement in renal function. The improvement in renal function was associated with the extent of MR reduction and pre‐existing kidney dysfunction. Our data emphasize the relevance of PVMR to stabilize the cardiorenal axis in patients with severe mitral regurgitation. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cardiac CT and echocardiographic evaluation of peri‐device flow after percutaneous left atrial appendage closure using the AMPLATZER cardiac plug device
Conclusion: The present study evaluates for the first time peri‐device flow after LAA closure by ACP using a combined cardiac‐CT and TEE follow‐up. Persistent LAA‐perfusion was frequently detected, leak‐sizes were small and were less frequent when lobe compression was >10% and lobe orientation was perpendicular to the LAA‐neck axis, that was also related to the LAA anatomy. The clinical significance of these small leaks after LAA‐closure using ACP needs to be further evaluated in future studies. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Incidence and timing of hypotension after transcervical carotid artery stenting
ConclusionsMost postoperative hypotension episodes occurred within the first 6 hr, and more than one‐third between the 6 and 12 hr post‐procedure. All patients with late hypotension were asymptomatic. There was no difference in complications between the study groups. In patients undergoing ambulatory CAS, hemodynamic monitoring in the postoperative period is particularly important during the first 12 hr. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

MitraClip for severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation in patients at high surgical risk
ConclusionBased on high risk MC studies and high risk MVS data predominantly from STS database, patients with severe MR who are at HSR can be effectively treated with MC or MVS. MC can be safely implanted in high risk patients with relatively low mortality and stroke risk. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Prevalence and predictors of carotid artery stenosis in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation
Conclusions: The prevalence of CAS in patients undergoing TAVI is high, exceeding that observed in patients undergoing catheterization for coronary indications. The impact of CAS on clinical outcomes following TAVI merits further research. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
