This study compared the clinical outcome of the transvenous versus transthoracic approaches for closure of patent ductus arteriosus. Our results indicate the transthoracic approach is superior in terms of cost, acute complications, and...

We offer a creative solution to assist crossing of balloon-uncrossable CTOs that entails use of a balloon placed over a wire that has been advanced though the subintimal space to “anchor” the guidewire that has crossed through the CTO true...

We compared procedural and follow-up complications of TAVI patients based on the type of antithrombotic treatment used (single-antiplatelet vs dual-antiplatelet vs warfarin). This relatively small series suggests that DAPT does not protect...

Two cases are presented that illustrate an important caveat in the measurement of fractional flow reserve in coronary arteries. In both cases, hemodynamically significant lesions were demonstrated that had been masked by the artifactual drop...
