Minicrush or T-Stenting and Minimal Protrusion in Complex Coronary Bifurcation Lesions: The Multicenter TREX Registry

Giulio Piedimonte, Enrico Cerrato, Lorenzo Azzalini, Alicia Quirós et autres

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous coronary intervention of complex coronary bifurcation lesions frequently requires an upfront 2-stent strategy. Although the double kissing crush technique has been extensively studied, limited contemporary data are available comparing alternative 2-stent approaches, particularly Minicrush and T-stenting and minimal protrusion (TAP), …

Wnt/β-catenin pathway in patients with acute myocardial infarction: a prospective cohort study (BETA-MI STUDY)

Roberto Licordari, Natasha Irrera, Francesca Lofrumento, Silvia Perfetti et autres

BACKGROUND: Myocardial infarction (MI) triggers fibrotic remodeling, impairing cardiac function and increasing the risk of heart failure. Although the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway modulates infarct healing and fibrosis in animal models, its role in human post-MI remodeling remains unexplored. This study investigates Wnt/β-catenin …

Conscious sedation versus general anesthesia for transesophageal echocardiography guidance of percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion

Giulia Laterra, Giorgio Sacchetta, Giampiero Vizzari, Giombatista Barrano et autres

OBJECTIVES: This study sought to compare the transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)-guided left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) procedures under general anesthesia with conscious sedation. BACKGROUND: In the expanding field of LAAO procedures, developing minimalistic approaches that eliminate the need for general anesthesia is crucial. …

Standard clinical and stress electrocardiogram variables to exclude left main and left main-equivalent disease: the MASTER study

Marco De Carlo, Marco Andrea Malanima, Laura Baglietto, Lorenzo Bazan et autres

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: A simple diagnostic method able to reliably exclude left main (LM) coronary artery disease (CAD) or LMCAD-equivalent would expand implementation of an initial non-invasive strategy in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). This study assessed the diagnostic utility of …

How to do echo for patent foramen ovale: Pre, Intra and Postprocedure: A Consensus Statement of the Italian Society of Echocardiography and Cardiovascular Imaging

Roberta Manganaro, Maurizio Cusmà Piccione, Eustachio Agricola, Matteo Cameli et autres

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a congenital heart anomaly potentially responsible of paradoxical embolism, enhancing the risk of stroke, especially in young adults. Contrast-enhanced (c-) echocardiography associated with c-transcranial doppler is the method of choice for PFO diagnosis. Transesophageal echocardiography plays a …

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in the Era of Minimalist Approaches: Anesthesia and Imaging Considerations

Giulia Laterra, Lorenzo Scalia, Orazio Strazzieri, Federica Giuseppa Agnello et autres

The progressive aging of the atrial fibrillation (AF) population, frequently characterized by high ischemic and bleeding risks, has led to a substantial increase in referrals for left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). The expansion of indications and the high procedural success rate of …

Excimer Laser Atherectomy: Mechanisms and Applications in Coronary and Peripheral Arteries

Ferrazzo Giuseppe, Giulia Laterra, Giampiero Avruscio, Carmen Tirrito et autres

The use of excimer laser atherectomy (ELA) has significantly evolved from the mid-1990s to the present, showing substantial improvements in both coronary and peripheral artery interventions. Initially associated with suboptimal outcomes due to low-energy settings and limited techniques, advancements such as high-energy …
