Happy and Healthy Patient Experiences
Gui Menezes
Really recommend Dr. Garcia. Very professional, respectful and communicative. He was very patient explaining my case and the Spanish also helped a lot on the communication since I’m not a native English speaker and Spanish sometimes can be easier for me 😊
Also had a wonderful service from the nurse that assist him! I’m very glad for the whole service.

Are There Any Procedural Differences Between Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump and Peripheral LVAD for Treatment of Cardiogenic Shock? A Clinical Comparison
Mechanical assist devices are used in cardiogenic shock to provide better hemodynamic support by different mechanisms. Clinical outcomes may vary according to this. We aimed to investigate the short-term clinical and procedural outcomes of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and percutaneous left ventricular assist device (pLVAD) (Impella and Tandem) use in patients with cardiogenic shock.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is considered safe and feasible in high-, intermediate-, and low-risk patients with tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) stenosis but not well investigated for bicuspid valve (BAV) stenosis. Majority of the randomized trials excluded patients with BAV, given its challenges. We aimed to evaluate the global experience with meta-analysis of all studies.

DRUG COATING BALLOON USE FOR SYMPTOMATIC FEMOROPOPLITEAL ARTERIAL DISEASE TREATMENT
Our analysis suggests that Paclitaxel DCB's are very efficacious in the treatment of symptomatic femoropopliteal artery disease TASC lesions A,B and C. Balloons might differ in the drug density. Amputation rate might decrease at long term follow up. Further analysis of sustained long-term analysis should be performed.

CATHETER-BASED RENAL SYMPATHETIC DENERVATION FOR RESISTANT HYPERTENSION: A META-ANALYSIS OF RANDOMIZED TRIALS
Resistant hypertension treated with catheter-based RDN respond better to blood pressure reduction and with sustained control without carrying significant kidney and cardiovascular complications. It is yet to be determined if some RDN catheters are capable to provide more concise results and therefore lead to better procedural outcomes. Therefore more randomized clinical data are warranted.

Comparison between catheter guided and ultrasound accelerated thrombolysis for the treatment of DVT of lower extremities: A Meta-Analysis
Out analysis suggested that UAT not only requires significant less angioplasty with stents but also might be associated with better re-stenosis rates whereas CDT significantly offered better thrombus burden reduction. Complication rates were similar between both groups. Further randomized trials should be pursued.
