Feasibility and efficacy of the 2.5 L and 3.8 L impella percutaneous left ventricular support device during high‐risk, percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with severe aortic stenosis
ConclusionImplantation of the 2.5 and 3.8 L Impella appears feasible in patients with severe AS and left ventricle (LV) impairment. A balloon‐assist technique may be used to facilitate device implantation when initial unassisted attempts fail. Improved hemodynamic stability may enhance the tolerability of lengthy and complex procedures. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Successful management of a twice complicated case by implantation of three CoreValve prostheses
An 80year old man, diabetic on oral medication and with permanent atrial fibrillation with a single chamber pacemaker, was referred to our hospital for severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis. His trans-thoracic echocardiography confirmed severe aortic stenosis with a mean/peak gradient of 45/85mmHg, an estimated aortic valve area of 0.7cm2 and good systolic function with an ejection fraction of 50%. His past medical history was remarkable for a minor stroke without neurological impairment and moderate kidney dysfunction with creatinine of 2.3mg/dL. A cardiac catheterization revealed no obstructive coronary heart disease.

Two-staged hybrid treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation: short-term single-centre results
CONCLUSIONS The sequential, two-staged hybrid strategy (surgical thoracoscopic followed by catheter ablation) is feasible and safe with a high post-procedural success and seems to represent the optimal treatment with low risk load and potentially long-term benefit for patients with a persistent and long-standing persistent form atrial fibrillation.

Is postdilatation useful after implantation of the Edwards valve?
Conclusions: PD for the treatment of significant paravalvular leak proved to be a feasible treatment allowing a significant increase in valve size and decrease in PVL without increase in stroke rates. This promising approach needs further confirmation. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Early Clopidogrel Versus Prasugrel Use Among Contemporary STEMI and NSTEMI Patients in the US: Insights From the National Cardiovascular Data Registry Coronary Heart Disease
Conclusions With prasugrel as an antiplatelet treatment option, contemporary practice shows low uptake of prasugrel and delays in P2Y12 antagonist initiation among NSTEMI patients. We also note concerning evidence of inappropriate use of prasugrel, and inadequate targeting of this more potent therapy to maximize the benefit/risk ratio.

Pro-Inflammatory Interleukin-1 Genotypes Potentiate the Risk of Coronary Artery Disease and Cardiovascular Events Mediated by Oxidized Phospholipids and Lipoprotein(a)
ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to assess the influence of pro-inflammatory interleukin (IL)-1 genotype status on the risk for coronary artery disease (CAD), defined as>50% diameter stenosis, and cardiovascular events mediated by oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) and lipoprotein (Lp) (a).BackgroundOxPLs are pro-inflammatory, circulate on Lp(a), and mediate CAD. Genetic variations in the IL-1 region are associated with increased inflammatory mediators.MethodsIL-1 genotypes, OxPL on apolipoprotein B-100 (OxPL/apoB), and Lp(a) levels were measured in 499 patients undergoing coronary angiography. The composite genotype termed...

Abstract 141: Outcomes Associated with Temporarily Interrupting Anticoagulation in Outpatients with Atrial Fibrillation: Results from ORBIT-AF Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusions: Temporary interruptions are common in patients receiving OAC for AF, however, bridging anticoagulation is used in a minority. Bleeding events following TI occurred significantly more often in patients receiving bridging anticoagulation.

Incidence and timing of hypotension after transcervical carotid artery stenting: Correlation with postoperative complications
Conclusions Most postoperative hypotension episodes occurred within the first 6 h, and more than one third between the 6 and 12 h 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 h. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Coarctation of the aorta: nonsurgical treatment using stent implantation.
CONCLUSION: This is the first reported series in Singapore on the nonsurgical treatment of CoAs in adult patients using stents during interventional cardiac catheterisation. This less invasive procedure may lead to a new paradigm shift with regard to the treatment of CoA. PMID: 25017404 [PubMed - in process]

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.

The Case Files: When a Spade is Not a Spade
Turrin, Danielle DO; Sattler, Steven DO; Amodeo, Dana DO A 25-year-old Hispanic man presented to the emergency department with a complaint of three days of left-sided precordial chest pain. He described the pain as a constant 6/10 with pressure-like discomfort radiating to his left arm and the left side of his neck. He also experienced nausea, but denied any provocative or palliative factors. He said he had not experienced anything similar to this before. He had no family history of heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, or sudden cardiac death. He admitted to a 1.5 pack-per-day smoking history and social alcohol use,...

Arterial Closure Devices for Treatment of Inadvertent Large-Caliber Catheter Insertion Into the Subclavian or Carotid Artery: A Case Series of Five Patients
CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETERIZATION is a common procedure in today`s medicine. Iatrogenic complications occur in up to 34% of catheter placements including 5% of arterial puncture. A variety of complications by arterial puncture have recently been described, including airway obstruction, pseudoaneurysms, arteriovenous fistulas, and even stroke caused by arterial thrombosis or embolization. Although 2-D ultrasound assisted insertion of large central venous catheters may reduce adverse events, it might not be available in an emergency setting, and the use of ultrasound guidance requires training. Depending on anatomic localizatio...
