Role of Proximal Optimization Technique Guided by Intravascular Ultrasound on Stent Expansion, Stent Symmetry Index, and Side-Branch Hemodynamics in Patients With Coronary Bifurcation Lesions [Coronary Physiologic Assessment and Imaging]
Conclusions— This is the first study of POT guided by intravascular ultrasound in patients with coronary bifurcation lesion, demonstrating that POT symmetrically expanded the proximal and bifurcation segments of the stent. After POT, SB FFR was <0.75 in a third of patients, which improved to >0.75 after SB dilation or SB stenting+final POT. (Source: Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions)

Effect of Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention on Hyperemic Absolute Coronary Blood Flow Volume and Microvascular Resistance [Coronary Interventions]
Conclusions— Direct measurement of ABF and MR using thermodilution method offers a feasible approach that could shed a light on previously unclear aspects of coronary hemodynamics. (Source: Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions)

Building Blocks of Structural Intervention: A Novel Modular Paradigm for Procedural Training [Advances in Interventional Cardiology]
We describe a novel modular approach to procedural training that considers each procedure as a series of building blocks that may be taught and assessed separately. Ten key structural heart disease building blocks can be identified, which, when combined with the cognitive skills of structural intervention and device-specific training, allow appropriate planning and implementation of structural procedures. Structural procedures require careful navigation of the aorta, left atrium, and right heart, including detailed understanding of relational anatomy. Component blocks include large bore vascular access, navigation within t...

Comparative Outcomes of Patients With Advanced Renal Dysfunction Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in the United States From 2011 to 2014 [Structural Heart Disease]
Conclusions— Patients with CKD and ESRD have increased in-hospital mortality and periprocedural adverse events with longer hospital length of stay, when compared with those without CKD (Source: Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions)

Short-Term Outcome and Hemodynamic Performance of Next-Generation Self-Expanding Versus Balloon-Expandable Transcatheter Aortic Valves in Patients With Small Aortic Annulus: A Multicenter Propensity-Matched Comparison [Structural Heart Disease]
Conclusions— Albeit a similar safety profile with low clinical event rates, transcatheter aortic valve replacement with the ACURATE neo valve resulted in lower transvalvular gradients and consequently less prosthesis–patient mismatch compared with the SAPIEN 3 in patients with small annulus. These results emphasize the need of careful prosthesis selection in each individual patient. (Source: Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions)

Impact of Stent Size Selection on Acute and Long-Term Outcomes After Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation in De Novo Coronary Lesions [Coronary Interventions]
Conclusions— The positive impact of stent oversizing was documented on procedural and clinical outcomes. In particular, small vessels treated with smaller stents were associated with greater adverse events, suggesting that aggressive selection of larger stents, with appropriate attention to edge effects, may optimize long-term outcomes, even in drug-eluting stents implantation.
