remains elusive. It is clear that measured dimensions by various imaging modalities employed for this purpose vary significantly (Figure 2).[10]While transthoracic echocardiography acts as a useful screening tool in this regard, transesophageal echocardiography, sometimes as an immediate pre-...
This TAVI procedure marks a critical step forward in cardiovascular treatment for public hospitals in El Salvador. The medical team at Rosales National Hospital expressed their willingness to continue collaborating with MicroPort®. Dr Yan Wang highlighted MicroPort®'s ongoing commitment t...
for aortic valve replacement. The robot can make an artery puncture and then, based on real-time imaging, control the navigation of the instruments to the heart before delivering the prosthetic aortic valve to a location determined in the pre-operative planning. The procedure is completed under ...
“Obviously, the procedure has been improved over the years with better procedural planning, CT, local instead of general anesthesia, better patient selection, the heart-team process, and so on. This is just one more step in this development. We are trying to simplify the procedure while ...
The incidence of new-onset cardiac conduction disturbances following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has not decreased compared to other complications, and nowadays is by far the most frequent drawback following the procedure. Meanwhile, the global management of TAVI recipients has led to...
Vascular access may represent the most challenging part of a TAVI procedure, especially taking into account the TAVI patients are usually old and with many comorbidities, which make femoral access difficult. One part of this access is to ensure a compl...
who had been declined by three cardiac surgery teams due to multiple comorbidities. BAV had failed, and performing the first TAVI appeared to be the only option to save his life. The decision to proceed was difficult – we wished we had the perfect patient for the first procedur...
TAVI procedure TAVI is performed according to the local protocol of each participating site. In patients randomised to the upper extremity approach, the radial artery is used for diagnostic access. An upper arm vein is used for temporary pacemaker access (Fig. 2); alternatively, pacing over the...
The normal vector and center of mass of both Πann and ΠSTJ, are refined (rotated and shifted) following a constrained optimization procedure, initialized using n and c computed by RANSAC. The optimal plane normal vector n* and center of mass c+δ are defined as the ones that minimize ...
