Journal ArticleDOI

Cleft mitral leaflets and severe mitral regurgitation: Testing the limits of percutaneous mitral valve repair

TL;DR: Despite challenging anatomy percutaneous repair can allow for dramatic reduction in MR, resulting in significant left ventricular remodeling and improvement of EF and cardiac output.
Journal Article

New Developments in Therapeutic Ultrasound-Assisted Coronary Angioplasty.

TL;DR: Clinical trials of catheter-delivered, high-energy, low-frequency (kHz) ultrasound over the past 6 years have shown the safety of this modality in the treatment of coronary artery disease and have identified a number of indications in which its use, as an adjunct to conventional percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) techniques, may offer therapeutic advantages.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of streptokinase and hydroxyethyl starch on in vitro clot disruption by ultrasound.

TL;DR: Low-frequency, low-intensity US combined with HAES and STK resulted in greater clot disruption at short incubation times and may assist in achieving faster reperfusion in in vivo models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphologic Features of Carcinoid Heart Disease as Assessed by Three-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography

TL;DR: 3DTEE provides substantial incremental value over TTE in the assessment of characteristic CHD pathology and thus enhances the echocardiographic diagnosis of CHD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Subaortic stenosis revisited: the importance of the dynamic pressure gradient.

TL;DR: A greater understanding of the significance of dynamic gradients and the mechanism(s) responsible for them should lead to more rational management of DSAS and HCM in the future.
