We report a case of bioresorbable vascular scaffold restenosis which could be caused by abnormal resorption 17months after implantation. (Source: Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine)

Importance of IVUS in the treatment with retrograde approach of a long in-stent chronic total occlusion of ostial right coronary artery: a case report
A 43year-old male, with a long history of coronary artery disease, was electively admitted to our institution because of dyspnea for moderate physical efforts (NYHA 2) related to an in-stent chronic total occlusion of ostial RCA and with demonstration of a significant area of inducible myocardial ischemia at stress echocardiography. After a gentle attempt of antegrade approach, the in-stent CTO of ostial RCA was successfully reopened with a retrograde approach using a knuckle technique. After IVUS evaluation which showed that the course of the retrograde guidewire was mostly within the stent strut circumference with the ex...

When we should say no to TAVR —Defining the line between utility and futility
History of prior coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) is a frequent scenario encountered in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis deemed inoperable and referred for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Aside from indices of frailty and other comorbidities, these patients remain at higher risk for peri-operative mortality and morbidity compared to their counterparts without prior CABG. Presence of concomitant peripheral arterial disease and patent left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft pose further access related challenges. (Source: Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine)

Training the next generation of invasive cardiologists: Feasibility of implementing a trans-radial access program at an academic hospital
Slow adoption of trans-radial access (TRA) for left heart catheterization (LHC) in the U.S. may be related to concerns about procedural complexity and a steep learning curve. However, TRA acceptance among novice operators remains poorly characterized. (Source: Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine)

The Fluoro-Less and Contrast-Less Peripheral Endovascular Intervention: Halfway There
We present a successful intervention without the use of iodinated contrast.Case.A 92-year-old man with dry gangrene involving the second and fourth left toes had acute on chronic kidney injury. Arterial duplex showed severe stenosis in bilateral superficial femoral arteries (SFA). Fluoroscopic and ultrasound guidance and intravascular imaging were used to avoid iodinated contrast. After right to left femoral crossover, the entire left SFA was imaged with ultrasound. (Source: Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine)
