Background: Transcarotid access is an alternative route for transcutaneous aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with impossible transfemoral access.Aims: We evaluated the safety, effectiveness and early and late clinical outcomes of CoreValve® implantation via the common carotid artery.Methods: Eighteen patients (10 men, 8 women; mean age 84 ± 5 years) at high surgical risk (mean...

Radiation exposure of the operator during coronary interventions (from the RADIO Study)

Kallinikou, Zacharenia ; Puricel, Serban G. ; Ryckx, Nick ; Togni, Mario ; Baeriswyl, Gerard ; Stauffer, Jean-Christophe ; Cook, Stéphane ; Verdun, Francis R. ; Goy, Jean-Jacques

In: The American Journal of Cardiology, 2016, vol. 118, no. 2, p. 188–194

We sought to compare operator radiation exposure during procedures using right femoral access (RFA), right radial access (RRA), and left radial access (LRA) during coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Because of an increased incidence of long-term malignancy in interventional cardiologists, operator radiation exposure is of rising concern. This prospective...

Heart rate never lies: interventional cardiologist and Braude’s quote revised

Cook, Stéphane ; Stauffer, Jean-Christophe ; Goy, Jean-Jacques ; Graf, Denis ; Puricel, Serban ; Frobert, Aurélien ; Muller, Olivier ; Togni, Mario ; Arroyo, Diego

In: Open Heart, 2016, vol. 3, no. 1, p. e000373

Background Interventional cardiologists may be immune to stress, allowing them to perform complex percutaneous interventions under pressure.Objectives To assess heart rate (HR) variations as a surrogate marker of stress of interventional cardiologists during percutaneous cardiac procedures and in every-day life.Design This is a single-centre...

Vascular response to everolimus- and biolimus-eluting coronary stents versus everolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffolds – an optical coherence tomography substudy of the EVERBIO II trial

Kallinikou, Zacharenia ; Arroyo, Diego ; Togni, Mario ; Lehmann, Sonja ; Corpataux, Noé ; Cook, Malica ; Müller, Olivier ; Baeriswyl, Gérard ; Stauffer, Jean-Christophe ; Goy, Jean-Jacques ; Puricel, Serban ; Cook, Stéphane

In: Swiss Medical Weekly, 2016, p. -

QUESTIONS UNDER STUDY: Head-to-head optical coherence tomography (OCT) data comparing metallic stents with bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) are lacking. This study assessed vascular healing at 9-month follow-up after implantation of everolimus- and biolimus-eluting stents (EES BES) and everolimus-eluting BVS.METHODS: OCT was performed in 74 patients enrolled in the EVERBIO II (NCT01711931)...

Ultrafast laser ablation for targeted atherosclerotic plaque removal

Lanvin, Thomas ; Conkey, Donald B. ; Descloux, Laurent ; Frobert, Aurelien ; Valentin, Jeremy ; Goy, Jean-Jacques ; Cook, Stéphane ; Giraud, Marie-Noelle ; Psaltis, Demetri

In: SPIE Proceedings, 2015, vol. 9542, p. 95420Z–95420Z–6

Coronary artery disease, the main cause of heart disease, develops as immune cells and lipids accumulate into plaques within the coronary arterial wall. As a plaque grows, the tissue layer (fibrous cap) separating it from the blood flow becomes thinner and increasingly susceptible to rupturing and causing a potentially lethal thrombosis. The stabilization and/or treatment of atherosclerotic...

Subsurface ablation of atherosclerotic plaque using ultrafast laser pulses

Lanvin, Thomas ; Conkey, Donald B. ; Frobert, Aurelien ; Valentin, Jeremy ; Goy, Jean-Jacques ; Cook, Stéphane ; Giraud, Marie-Noelle ; Psaltis, Demetri

In: Biomedical Optics Express, 2015, vol. 6, no. 7, p. 2552

We perform subsurface ablation of atherosclerotic plaque using ultrafast pulses. Excised mouse aortas containing atherosclerotic plaque were ablated with ultrafast near-infrared (NIR) laser pulses. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to observe the ablation result, while the physical damage was inspected in histological sections. We characterize the effects of incident pulse energy on...
