Multicenter Study Comparative Study Observational StudyTreatment of drug-eluting stent restenosis: Comparison between drug-eluting balloon versus second-generation drug-eluting stents from a retrospective observational study.
To compare drug-eluting balloons (DEBs) versus second-generation DES in the treatment of drug-eluting stent restenosis (DES-ISR). ⋯ There were no significant differences in the clinical outcomes between DEB and second-generation DES in the treatment of DES-ISR. These results should encourage operators to consider DEB in the treatment of DES-ISR, which offers certain advantages over DES. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Observational StudyImpact of Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors Use on Outcomes After Lower Extremity Endovascular Interventions From Nationwide Inpatient Sample (2006-2011).
The aim of our study was to study the impact of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPI) on in-hospital outcomes. ⋯ Multivariate analysis revealed GPI use in peripheral endovascular interventions to be suggestive of an increase in composite end-point of in-hospital mortality and postprocedural complications, no impact on in-hospital mortality alone, significantly lower rate of amputation, and increase in hospitalization costs. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Case ReportsTranscatheter aortic valve replacement for native aortic valve regurgitation as a bridge to liver transplantation.
Coexistence of end-stage liver disease (ESLD) and severe valvular heart disease conveyed substantial risk for patients, oftentimes leading to exclusion from liver transplantation candidacy due to inability to safely offer cardiac surgery prior to transplantation. Several approaches have been described, including performing transplantation and valve surgery concurrently, or in sequence. ⋯ A novel approach to this surgical dilemma by performing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for severe native aortic valve regurgitation in a patient on the liver transplant list has been presented. The procedure proved to be an effective management for the aortic valve insufficiency, improving our patient's hemodynamics in preparation for the subsequent orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Comparative StudyCompleteness of revascularization and its impact on the outcomes of a staged approach of percutaneous coronary intervention followed by minimally invasive valve surgery for patients with concomitant coronary artery and valvular heart disease.
A staged approach of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) followed by minimally invasive valve surgery (MIVS) is an alternative to the conventional combined coronary artery bypass and valve surgery for patients with concomitant coronary artery and valve disease. Limited data exist on degree of the completeness of revascularization achieved with this approach and its impact on outcomes. ⋯ In patients undergoing a staged approach of PCI followed by MIVS, incomplete revascularization did not significantly impact the short or mid-term survival, but was associated with an increased incidence of acute coronary syndrome at follow-up. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
