The last decade has witnessed major evolution and shifts in the use of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for severe aortic stenosis (AS). Included among the shifts has been the advent of alternative access sites for TAVR. Consequently, transapical access (TA) has become significantly less common. This study analyzes in detail the trend of TA access for TAVR over the course of 7 years. <i>Methods</i>. The national inpatient sample database was reviewed from 2011–2017 and patients with AS were identified by using validated ICD 9-CM and ICD 10-CM codes. Patients who underwent TAVR through TA access were classified as TA-TAVR, and any procedure other than TA access was classified as non-TA-TAVR. We compared the yearly trends of TA-TAVR to those of non-TA-TAVR as the primary outcome. <i>Results</i>. A total of 3,693,231 patients were identified with a diagnosis of AS. 129,821 patients underwent TAVR, of which 10,158 (7.8%) underwent TA-TAVR and 119,663 (92.2%) underwent non-TA-TAVR. After peaking in 2013 at 27.7%, the volume of TA-TAVR declined to 1.92% in 2017 (<i>p</i> < 0.0001). Non-TA-TAVR started in 2013 at 72.2% and consistently increased to 98.1% in 2017.

The short-term outcome was defined as the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during the hospital stay and within 60 days after discharge. <i>Results.</i> Between January 2020 and December 2021, 14 patients underwent high-risk PCI with ECMO support. The mean age was 66.5 (±2.5) and the majority was male (71.4%) with a mean left ventricular ejection fraction of 33% (±3.0). Complexity indexes were high (STS-PROM risk score: 2.9 (IQR 1.5–5.8), SYNTAX score I: 35.5 (±2.0), SYNTAX score II (PCI): 49.8 (±3.2)). Femoral artery ECMO cannulation was performed in 13 patients (92.9%) requiring additional antegrade femoral artery cannula in one patient because of periprocedural limb ischemia. The mean duration of the ECMO run was 151 (±32) minutes. One patient required prolonged ECMO support and was weaned after 2 days. Successful revascularization was achieved in 13 patients (92.8%).

Cardiovascular diseases manifest differently in men and women. The purpose of this study is to compare the sex difference in the characteristics of coronary artery spasm (CAS) in patients with nonobstructive cardiovascular disease (NOCVD) and the clinical outcomes in accordance with sex in CAS patients. <i>Methods</i>. The study analysed 5,491 patients with NOCVD who underwent an acetylcholine provocation test from November 2004 to May 2014 for evaluation of chest pain. CAS was defined as greater than 70% of luminal narrowing of the artery during the acetylcholine provocation test. <i>Results</i>. The patients were divided into men (<i>n</i> = 2,506) and women (<i>n</i> = 2,985). Mean follow-up days were 1,218 ± 577 days. To adjust for confounding factors, the propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed in all patients and among the CAS patients. After PSM analysis, a total of 1,201 pairs in all patients and a total of 713 pairs in CAS patients were generated. In all patients, women showed significantly less incidence of CAS compared with men (62.3% vs 50.9%, <i>P</i> < 0.01). Myocardial bridge (MB) and moderate stenosis were less prevalent in women, while transient ST elevation and ischemic chest pain during provocation were more frequent in women.

Old age, dyslipidemia, and MB were independent risk factors of CAS in both men and women. In CAS patients, there was no statistical differences for various individual and composite major outcomes up to five years in either men or women.

In women with CAS, mild stenosis was a risk factor of 5-year MACE, while myocardial bridge was a risk factor of 5-year recurrent angina. <i>Conclusions</i>. In this study, there were sex differences in the angiographic and clinical parameters during the acetylcholine provocation test, incidence of CAS, risk factors of CAS, 5-year MACE, and recurrent angina.

To compare the efficacy of the percutaneous presuture technique (PPST) and the femoral artery incision technique (FAIT) under local anesthesia in the treatment of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for patients with uncomplicated type B aortic dissection (uTBAD). <i>Method</i>. Two hundred and ninety-five patients diagnosed with uTBAD who underwent EVAR under local anesthesia from June 2017 to December 2021 were consecutively and randomly selected for retrospective analysis.

There were no significant differences in clinical characteristics between the two groups (<i>p</i> > 0.05).
