CT mitral valve calcium score and immediate outcomes after percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy

Pooya Eini, Amir Ghaffari Jolfayi, Ata Firouzi, Farnaz Rafiee et autres

Accurate morphological assessment is essential for predicting outcomes after percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) in rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS). Computed tomography (CT) allows quantitative assessment of mitral valve calcification which may influence procedural success. This study evaluated the predictive value of mitral …

CT mitral-valve calcium adds little to the wilkins score for immediate PTMC success

Golnaz Houshmand, A Ghaffari Jolfayi, Ata Firouzi, Farnaz Rafiee et autres

Abstract Background The Wilkins echocardiographic score guides selection for percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC), but its calcification sub-score is qualitative. Whether quantified mitral-valve calcium (MVC) on computed tomography (CT) refines outcome prediction remains unknown. Purpose To determine whether CT-derived MVC scoring adds …

Emergency Department Visits Following Transcatheter Cardiac Interventions: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Nicola G. Best, Marienell Talla, Farnaz Rafiee, Aviva Moses et autres

While hospital readmission is the most common health system performance metric after transcatheter cardiac interventions, emergency department (ED) visits are rarely evaluated. We aimed to synthesize the incidence, causes, predictors, costs, and outcomes of ED visits following transcatheter procedures in patients undergoing …

Atorvastatin versus Placebo in ICU Patients with COVID-19: Ninety-day Results of the INSPIRATION-S Trial

Azita H; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1839-3685 Talasaz, Parham Sadeghipour, Hooman Bakhshandeh, Babak Sharif-Kashani et autres

BACKGROUND: In the INSPIRATION-S trial, atorvastatin versus placebo was associated with a nonsignificant 16% reduction in 30-day composite of venous/arterial thrombosis or death in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with COVID-19. Thrombo-inflammatory response in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may last beyond the …
