Intensity of pain during coronary interventions via the radial artery
Radial access reduces vascular complications compared to femoral access. Various factors may influence the patient's pain during coronary intervention.
MicroNET-covered stent (CGuard) routine use in acute carotid-related stroke - SAFEGUARD-STROKE Study: response to the Buffalo Group commentary
Temporal changes in biomarker levels and their association with the early degeneration stage of transcatheter aortic valves in F-fluorodeoxyglucose and F-sodium fluoride positron emission tomography studies
As transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) indications expand, understanding the valve degeneration process and potential influencing biomarkers becomes increasingly important.
Incidence and predictors of permanent pacemaker implantation after transcatheter aortic valve implantation with a balloon-expandable biosprosthesis in patients with bicuspid aortic valves
There are few data on permanent pacemaker implantation (PPMI) in patients who have undergone transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) stenosis.
Efficacy of oral treprostinil for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive condition characterized by elevated blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Treprostinil, a synthetic analogue of prostacyclin, has emerged as a potential treatment option.
The relationship between advanced lung cancer inflammation index and high SYNTAX score in patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction
The advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) is an independent prognostic biomarker of inflammation and nutrition in various types of cancer, acute heart failure and acute coronary syndrome. The SYNTAX (Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with TAXUS and Cardiac Surgery) score (SXscore) is an angiographic scoring tool used to determine the extent and severity of coronary artery disease.

Endovascular resolution of MicroNET-covered stent inadvertent implantation from the external to common carotid artery
Cardiac troponin I release after transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects is associated with supraventricular arrhythmias on early follow-up
Atrial septal defects (ASD) are prevalent congenital heart anomalies found in the adult population. Percutaneous ASD closure has become a routine clinical practice. Elevation of postprocedural transient cardiac biomarkers and exacerbation of supraventricular arrhythmias have been reported in the subject literature.
The use of intravascular ultrasound during percutaneous coronary intervention does not reduce all cause in-hospital mortality but doubles the cost, with higher utilization in privately insured patients
The effect of using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on short-term mortality is not well established.
Permanent cardiac pacing after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: a focus on electrocardiographic and imaging risk factors
Transient ST-elevation myocardial infarction and conservative, optical coherence tomography-guided, deferred treatment for late stent thrombosis: what is the ideal antithrombotic regimen and deferral period?

Midterm results of atherectomy as an adjunct to endovascular intervention in a population with chronic limb-threatening ischemia
The use of atherectomy in peripheral vascular intervention remains controversial.
A new and easy parameter to predict the requirement for permanent pacemaker implantation after transaortic valve implantation: aortic knob calcification
One of the predictable and preventable complications that may occur after transaortic valve implantation (TAVI) is the requirement for permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation.
Novel predictors of prognosis in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and the presence of spontaneous echo contrast: shock index, modified shock index and age-adjusted shock index
Shock indexes (SI) have been associated with in-hospital mortality, particularly in heart failure patients.

The role of pericoronary fat thickness in prediction of long-term outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusions
Pericoronary fat thickness (PFT) is a well-established marker crucial for evaluating the extent and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). While its role in CAD is widely acknowledged, a considerable gap exists in understanding the prognostic implications of PFT after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), specifically for coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO).
