DOI: 10.1002/ccd.28644
Abstract: Transcatheter heart valve implantation into degenerated bioprosthetic valves (ViV‐THV implantation) has become an established procedure for high risk patients. In general, paravalvular leak (PVL) is a contraindication for valve‐in‐valve‐TAVR (ViV‐TAVR). Herein, we report on a… read more here.

Directional atherectomy before paclitaxel coated balloon angioplasty in complex femoropopliteal disease: The VIVA REALITY study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions"
DOI: 10.1002/ccd.29777
Abstract: Drug coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty significantly reduces reintervention rates in patients with symptomatic femoropopliteal peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, stand‐alone DCB use in long, severely calcified lesions is frequently associated with vessel recoil and/or high‐grade… read more here.
