In many patients with severe aortic stenosis, the coronary arteries are severely calcified, but rotational atherectomy (RA) is not routinely performed due to safety concerns. We studied the safety and feasibility of RA in this population.

Transradial coronary angiography and interventions in patients with arteria lusoria, while technically challenging, are feasible without crossover to femoral approach. Interventional cardiologists should be aware of this rare entity when...

This image highlights a potential pitfall in interpreting RA activation maps with previous CTI block during a tachyarrhythmia and underscores the need for careful inspection, especially when using other electroanatomical navigation systems...

Ductus arteriosus aneurysm is a rare finding, with sporadic cases reported in children and infants. In the elderly, it poses serious therapeutic challenges, as the risk of rupture is counterbalanced by the high risk of its correction.
