Structural heart interventions have evolved from shunt modification and balloon valvuloplasty into a broad catheter-based therapeutic ecosystem encompassing valvular, congenital, and selected heart-failure-related disord...
Stepwise provisional stenting is the default strategy for most coronary bifurcation lesions, yet side-branch (SB) occlusion after main-vessel (MV) stenting still occurs in about 6-18% of cases and is associated with peri...
Coronary artery calcification makes percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) more difficult: device delivery is impaired, stent underexpansion is common, and long-term outcomes are worse. This narrative review summarizes...
Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is an alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for stroke prevention in carotid stenosis. This review updates the indications and procedural technique of CAS up to 2026, based on the 2024...
Photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) directly detects individual X-ray photons and records their energy using semiconductor detectors. It enables high-spatial-resolution and spectral imaging, with potential advanta...
Transseptal puncture (TSP) has evolved from a diagnostic technique into an essential step in contemporary cardiovascular interventions, including catheter ablation, balloon mitral valvuloplasty, left atrial appendage clo...
Cardiovascular imaging increasingly informs patient selection, procedural planning, real-time guidance, and outcome assessment in structural heart interventions. Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography, intrac...
Background: Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis is an important cause of resistant hypertension and renal dysfunction. Although major randomized trials such as ASTRAL and CORAL failed to demonstrate a clear benefit of...
Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at very high cardiovascular risk, with heart failure and anemia being two common conditions that significantly affect prognosis. Anemia in CKD is often attribute...
Heavily calcified coronary lesions remain a major challenge during percutaneous coronary intervention because severe calcification may impair balloon expansion and prevent successful stent delivery. We report a 70-year-o...
Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) guided by optical coherence tomography (OCT) optimizes stent implantation and improves long-term outcomes. Real-world data from hospitals in Vietnam remain scarce. Ob...
Objective: To describe frailty, nutritional status, and score correlations before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: This observational study included retrospective data and analyzed 71 complete, valid r...
Objectives: (1) To describe clinical and paraclinical characteristics of STEMI patients undergoing PPCI; (2) To evaluate PPCI outcomes; (3) To determine D2B time and analyze factors associated with delayed D2B time (> 90...
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains one of the leading causes of mortality and disease burden globally as well as in Vietnam. Among cardiovascular risk factors, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is considered...
Objectives: (1) To describe hematoma at the radial artery puncture site in patients after percutaneous coronary angiography and intervention at E Hospital in 2026. (2) To investigate factors associated with hematoma at t...
Objective: To evaluate the associations between selected clinical, laboratory, and echocardiographic parameters and reduced left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) in patients with metabolic syndrome. Methods:...
Objective: To describe the clinical and subclinical characteristics and evaluate the efficacy of conduction system pacing in the treatment of patients with bradyarrhythmia at Hue Central Hospital. Subjects and Methods:...
Objective: To evaluate patient satisfaction with radial artery compression using a hemostatic pad after coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at Tam Anh General Hospital Hanoi. Subject and met...
Objective: To evaluate outcomes of 1470-nm endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) and associations with energy density (LEED) and anatomy. Methods: We followed 91 patients at baseline, 24 hours, 1 month, and 6 months, using p...
Background: Vulnerable plaque is the predominant pathomechanism of acute coronary syndrome. OCT, with 10-20 µm axial resolution, is the gold standard for in vivo identification of high-risk plaque morphologies. Objectiv...
Objective: To describe patient characteristics and outcomes of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) anesthesia during congenital cardiac catheterization and intervention at E Hospital. Methods: This descriptive study included 10...
