Peripheral Vascular Disease
Total IN.PACT All-Subjects One-Year Analysis and Standard vs Broader Implications
Daniel S. Kobe, MD; Michael R. Jaff, DO; Thomas Zeller, MD, PhD; Peter A. Schneider, MD; Mehdi H. Shishehbor, DO, MPH, PhD
Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) have been shown to be superior to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for symptomatic femoropopliteal disease in randomized clinical trials; however, their clinical effectiveness and safety in more complex disease is less defined. This study sought to conduct a patient-level pooled analysis of all prospective randomized and single-arm studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of IN.PACT Admiral DCB (Medtronic) worldwide and in patients with complex disease. Subjects were treated with either IN.PACT Admiral DCB (n = 1837) or PTA (n = 143).

Safety Evaluation
Safety and Accuracy of a Novel Bioimpedance System for Real-Time Detection and Monitoring of Endovascular Procedure-Related Bleeding in a Porcine Model
Philippe Généreux, MD; Kenneth Bueche, MS; Jennifer Vondran, MS; Alice Chuang, PhD; Mehdi Razavi, MD
Periprocedural bleeding events during endovascular procedures are frequent and are associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. The aim of this study was to determine the safety and accuracy of a novel bleed detection system, the Early Bird Bleed Monitoring System (Saranas) for the detection of simulated internal bleeding and the monitoring of bleed progression associated with endovascular procedures.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Urologic Complications in Patients Receiving Indwelling Urinary Catheters During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Joshua Lampert, MD; Matthew T. Finn, MD, MS; Alex Kantor, BS; Deniz Akkoc, BS; Shmuel Chen, MD, PhD; Russel Brandwein, PA-C; Kathryn Fidlow, BSN; Ming Liao, MS; Omar Khalique, MD; Rebecca T. Hahn, MD; Torsten P. Vahl, MD; Isaac George, MD; Ajay Kirtane, MD, SM; Martin B. Leon, MD; Susheel K. Kodali, MD; Tamim M. Nazif, MD
The minimalist approach to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) focuses on avoiding extraneous invasive measures. Data describing the clinical impact of routine indwelling urinary catheter in TAVR patients are limited. We sought to examine outcomes after indwelling urinary catheter placement in patients undergoing TAVR.

An Overview of Contrast-Associated Acute Kidney Injury Following Lower-Extremity Percutaneous Peripheral Interventions
Tung H. Nguyen, MD; Omar Sheikh, MD; Momhammed Sha’ar, MD; Shweta Bansal, MD; Anand Prasad, MD
There is an abundance of literature studying acute kidney injury following percutaneous coronary interventions, with very few studies done in the setting of percutaneous peripheral intervention. This article aims to review what we currently know about contrast-associated acute kidney injury and available prevention strategies, specifically following percutaneous peripheral interventions.

Non-Elective Pediatric Cardiac Catheterization During COVID-19 Pandemic: A New York Center Experience
Kristin T. Oshiro, MD; Mariel E. Turner, MD; Alejandro J. Torres, MD; Matthew A. Crystal, MD; Julie A. Vincent, MD; Oliver M. Barry, MD
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has led to major changes in hospital systems across the world. In an effort to reduce viral transmission, conserve resources, and in accordance with institutional and state mandates, all elective procedures and surgeries were postponed during the initial outbreak. Our objective was to report the protocols and case selection of a high-volume pediatric cardiac catheterization laboratory in the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bioprosthetic Valve Fracture for Early Severe Prosthesis Mismatch After SAVR
Ashleigh Long, MD, PhD and Paul Mahoney, MD
Bioprosthetic valve fracture, where high-pressure balloon inflation is employed to fracture the surgical valve sewing ring to increase the effective orifice area (EOA), has been used as an adjunct for valve-in-valve procedures for degenerated surgical valves to increase EOA, but has not been reported as standalone therapy for early permanent pacemaker implantation after surgical aortic valve replacement.

The Original Coronary “Full Metal Jacket”: A 30-Year Journey
John Lawrence, MD; Michael P. Savage, MD; Sheldon Goldberg, MD; David L. Fischman, MD
This report provides a 30-year follow-up on a noteworthy case first described in 1989 by Fischman et al in the Journal of Invasive Cardiology. The original article provided the first known report of extensive intracoronary stenting, deployed in tandem, now colloquially referred to as a “full metal jacket.”

May-Thurner Syndrome Results in Life-Threatening Condition: Phlegmasia Cerulea Dolens and Rhabdomyolysis
Wai Kin Chi, MBChB; G.M. Tan, MBChB; Bryan P. Yan, MBBS, MD
Venography alone may underestimate the extent of common iliac vein compression in May-Thurner syndrome. Peripheral intravascular ultrasound is mandatory to better assess common iliac vein compression.

Post Heart Transplantation Coronary Artery Fistula and Coronary Artery Aneurysm Successfully Managed With the Implantation of Covered Stents
Felipe H. Valle, MD, PhD; Bruno S. Matte, MD, MSc; Joana Brum, MD; Nadine Clausell, MD, PhD; Livia A. Goldraich, MD, MSc
Coronary-to-cardiac chamber fistulae and coronary aneurysms are potential complications after heart transplantation. In the setting of exercise intolerance and large fistulae at major coronary vessels, covered stents may provide an effective interventional strategy.

Ioannis Tsiafoutis, MD; Theodoros Zografos, MD; Michael Koutouzis, MD; Apostolos Katsivas, MD
Percutaneous pseudoaneurysm repair through the ipsilateral ulnar artery is an alternative to surgical repair; however, distal radial access, as described in this case, may offer increased safety.
