Venous sinus stenting under conscious sedation
1–7 VSS is preceded by venous manometry to measure the venous sinus pressure and to calculate the pressure gradient across the stenosis to assess the patient’s candidacy for stenting. The stenting ...

Multidirectional myocardial function in bicuspid aortic valve stenosis patients: a three-dimensional speckle tracking analysis
LV mass was indexed to body surface area. The severity of aortic stenosis was classified based on the aortic peak velocity (AV), indexed aortic valve area, and mean pressure gradient (MPG) according ...
