Safety and Feasibility of Rotational Atherectomy in Elderly Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis
07/25/2017
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.

Handle With Care: A Ductus Arteriosus Aneurysm in an Elderly Patient
07/25/2017
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.
