Concertina Effect
Clinical Images
04/29/2020
Accordion effect or concertina effect — also known as “crumpled coronary” — is an uncommon occurrence during coronary angioplasty. It usually has no major clinical sequelae and should be differentiated from spasm, dissection, and thrombosis,...

Infected Thrombus on a TAVI Aortic Valve
Clinical Images
04/29/2020
After a series of tests, an 86-year-old patient was shown to have an infected thrombus on a TAVI valve and was referred to urgent surgery. The valve with the infected thrombus was removed and a biological prosthetic valve was implanted in its...

Footprint of a Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold in Computed Tomography Coronary Angiogram at 5-Year Follow-up
Clinical Images
04/29/2020
The Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold (Abbott Vascular) does not have an artifact on computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA); the extent/location of the stent in situ can only be assessed by localizing its radiopaque platinum...
