Transcatheter aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis is an increasingly prevalent treatment in patients who are intermediate or high risk for surgical intervention. This study explores symptomatic relief and quality of life outcomes in a nonagenarian patient population, which has been underrepresented in landmark clinical trials.

Robotic Peripheral Vascular Intervention With Drug-Coated Balloons is Feasible and Reduces Operator Radiation Exposure: Results of the Robotic-Assisted Peripheral Intervention for Peripheral Artery Disease (RAPID) Study II
Ehtisham Mahmud, MD; Florian Schmid, MD; Peter Kalmar, MD; Hannes Deutschmann, MD; Franz Hafner, MD; Peter Rief, MD; Chris Cain, RN; Lawrence Ang, MD; Marianne Brodmann, MD
This study was designed to determine the feasibility and safety of robotic peripheral vascular intervention (PVI) with the CorPath System (Corindus Vascular Robotics) for treating femoropopliteal lesions with drug-coated balloon, and to evaluate the effect of robotic PVI on operator radiation exposure during robotic PVI.

Left Atrial Appendage Closure in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation at Very High Bleeding Risk Without Postimplantation Antithrombotic Therapy
Arthur Darmon, MD; Etienne L. Couture MD, MPH; Gauthier Stein MD; Bertrand Cormier, MD; Bernard Chevalier, MD; Thierry Lefèvre, MD; Antoinette Neylon, MD; Francesca Sanguineti, MD; Jerome Horvilleur, MD; Philippe Garot, MD
A substantial proportion of patients have high bleeding risk and are contraindicated to antithrombotic therapy. We assess a cohort of very high bleeding risk patients discharged with no antithrombotics after left atrial appendage closure.

The impact of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) utilization for stent optimization on the long-term outcomes in chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI has received limited study. We examined the outcomes of CTO-PCI with and without IVUS use for stent optimization in 922 CTO-PCIs performed between 2012 and 2019 at 12 United States centers.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Comparison in Clinical Outcomes Between Leadless and Conventional Transvenous Pacemaker Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Kazuaki Okuyama, MD; Masaki Izumo, MD; Kenichi Sasaki, MD; Shingo Kuwata, MD; Toshiki Kaihara, MD; Mika Watanabe, MD; Masashi Koga, MD; Ryo Kamijima, MD; Makoto Takano, MD; Yuki Ishibashi, MD; Yasuhiro Tanabe, MD; Takumi Higuma, MD; Tomoo Harada, MD; Yoshihiro J. Akashi, MD
Atrioventricular block is a common complication of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Although conventional transvenous dual-chamber pacemaker (PM) is ideal for atrioventricular block, leadless PM is less invasive and may be suitable for frail TAVI patients. We studied 24 PM cases without atrial fibrillation. Indication for leadless PM was based on heart team discussion.

Worsening Back and Lower Leg Pain Post Stenting of the Common Iliac Vein: Is There Evidence it is Related to Stent Size?
Nicolas W. Shammas, MD, MS
Sizing of iliac vein stents remains controversial. We present the first Venovo venous stent (BD/Bard) that was explanted because of worsening of back and leg pain post treatment and analyze data from the first 50 consecutive Venovo venous stents from our center. Stent size was obtained with intravascular ultrasound of the ipsilateral common iliac vein.

Improvement in Pulmonary Vascular Resistance After Relief of Fontan Circuit Obstruction
Joshua Yell, BS; Preston J. Boyer, MD; Alyssa Bernardi, DO; Scott Klewer, MD; Michael D. Seckeler, MD, MSc
Patients with single-ventricle congenital heart disease undergo staged surgical palliations leading to a final Fontan procedure. After Fontan, cardiac index is primarily determined by pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR); we therefore hypothesized that there would be significant reduction in PVR after relief of obstruction within the Fontan circuit.

Self-expanding valves have been associated with superior hemodynamics versus balloon-expandable valves. Our aim was to compare invasive gradients between valve types for similarly sized valves in 499 patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Sheath-Induced Sterile Abscesses
Rakesh Agarwal, MBBS, MD, DM and D.P. Sinha, MBBS, MD, DM
Sterile inflammatory reactions at vascular access sites have rarely been reported in the literature. Simple conservative treatment, as in this case, can lead to resolution of even extensive sterile abscesses.

Endovascular Embolization of Intrapulmonary Sequestration
Rakesh Agarwal, MBBS, MD, DM and D.P. Sinha, MBBS, MD, DM
Traditionally, management of lung sequestrations has been surgical. This is one of the few reports where a percutaneous management has resulted in resolution of symptoms and offers a novel approach for management.

Which is the Best Option in Calcified Leaflets? MitraClip NTR or XTR?
Shu-I Lin, MD; Maurizio Taramasso, MD; Mizuki Miura, MD, PhD; Francesco Maisano, MD
In the current era of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair, deciding clip size in each case is still a challenge. We demonstrate that the XTR clip can achieve a better outcome than the NTR clip in a calcified leaflet.
