Feasibility and Safety of Transfemoral Aortic Valve Replacement Using Local Anesthesia in the Catheterization Suite Versus General Anesthesia in the Operation Theater

Guillaume Abadié, Pierre Adrien Metzdorf, Giuseppe Lauria, Jeanne Varlot et autres

BACKGROUND: For over a decade, transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TF-TAVR) have been performed at the University Hospital of Nancy. A minimalistic approach to TF-TAVR, conducted without general anesthesia and entirely percutaneously in a catheterization suite (simplified approach), has been reported to …

Compared Performance of the 2023 Duke–International Society for Cardiovascular Infectious Diseases, 2000 Modified Duke, and 2015 European Society of Cardiology Criteria for the Diagnosis of Infective Endocarditis in a French Multicenter Prospective Cohort

François Goehringer, Benoît Lalloué, Christine Selton‐Suty, François Alla et autres

BACKGROUND: The 2023 Duke-International Society for Cardiovascular Diseases (ISCVID) criteria for infective endocarditis (IE) were proposed as an updated diagnostic classification of IE. Using an open prospective multicenter cohort of patients treated for IE, we compared the performance of these new criteria …

Echocardiographic predictors of outcome after isolated tricuspid valvular surgery

Florian Eggenspieler, Olivier Huttin, ML. Erpelding, Laura Filippetti et autres

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Right ventricular (RV) function is one factor influencing outcome after isolated tricuspid valve surgery (ITVS). As it is highly load dependant, its echocardiographic assessment requires a multiparametric analysis. Purpose To assess prognostic value …

Catheter knot around the mitral valve apparatus: An exceptional complication of remote magnetic navigation

Karim Bénali, Néfissa Hammache, Jean‐Marc Sellal, Mazen Elfarra et autres

Remote magnetic navigation (RMN) is as safe and effective as manual navigation for catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias. This case is the first description of a soft-tip ablation catheter entrapment in the mitral valve apparatus during an RMN ablation procedure. The tight …

Analysis and Evaluation of Hip Disarticulation Prosthesis Based on Computerized Metrics. Case Study

Oana Andreea Chiriac, Doina Bucur, Mazen Elfarra, Yaren Sachir

Lower limb prostheses must replace the structure, function, and aesthetics of the missing limb. For hip disarticulation, the path to functional prosthesis use can be long and challenging because of the inherent difficulty of ambulation when the entire lower limb has been …

Thin Tube Network Used for Mechatronic Suspension System of Lower Limb Prosthesis

Alina Spânu, Daniel Besnea, Mazen Elfarra

The suspension system of the lower limb prosthesis has the main role of maintaining the contact with the residual limb. Therefore, the contact area should be safe and permanent as the prosthesis could be wearable. The way the contact area of the …

Silicone Rubber Used for Lower Limb Prostheses

Daniel Besnea, Alina Spânu, Edgar Moraru, Ghebuta Florea et autres

The liner is one of the most important part of the lower limb protheses, whose role is to maintain the contact between the residual limb and the socket. Taking into account the residual limb has a variable volume, we have analysed the …

An Easy Way to Detect Cardiovascular Risk

Ionela Mihaela Vladu, Lucreţiu Radu, Sigina Rodica Gîrgavu, Vlad Dumitru Băleanu et autres

Cardiovascular risk means the degree of risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular pathology, predictable by quantifying the risk factors (RF) existing in each individual. Global cardio-metabolic risk is the overall risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and/or CVD, including myocardial infarction (MI) …
