Early outcomes following transatrial transcatheter mitral valve replacement in patients with severe mitral annular calcification (David Deaton and Ashequl Islam) All Scholarly Works (2022)

Objective: Implantation of a transcatheter valve-in-mitral annular calcification (ViMAC) has emerged as an alternative to traditional surgical mitral valve (MV) replacement. Previous studies evaluating ViMAC aggregated transseptal, transapical, and transatrial forms of the procedure, leaving ...

In-hospital Outcomes of Transcatheter Versus Surgical Mitral Valve Repair in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease (Khalid Sawalha, Kamesh Gupta, Anis Kadado, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2021)

Background: Mitral valve trans-catheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) using MitraClip is a treatment option for patients with moderate to severe mitral regurgitation who are not surgical candidate. Liver cirrhosis is associated with higher operative morbidity and ...

Leadless pacemaker and temporary transvenous wire entanglement requiring percutaneous extraction (Abdullah Pervaiz, Anis Kadado, Arvind Sundaram, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2021)

A novel technique to manage transcatheter aortic valve embolization (Kunal Chawla, Xiangke Huang, Neal Hadro, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2020)

We report a case of a 69-year-old male who was planned for a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a 26 mm Sapien 3 Valve (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California) for the treatment of symptomatic severe ...

Outcomes of MitraClip placement in patients with liver cirrhosis (Khalid Sawalha, Anis Kadado, Kamesh Gupta, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2020)

Introduction: Liver cirrhosis is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Many preoperative risk assessment tools do not take into account the presence or degree of liver cirrhosis prior to surgery. Over recent years, percutaneous mitral ...

Systematic review of COVID-19 related myocarditis: Insights on management and outcome (Khalid Sawalha, Mohammed Abozenah, Anis Kadado, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2020)

Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), also referred to as COVID-19, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. The manifestations of COVID-19 are widely variable and range from ...

Iatrogenic atrial septal defect following the MitraClip procedure: A state-of-the-art review (Anis Kadado and Ashequl Islam) All Scholarly Works (2020)

With an increase in number of patients undergoing percutaneous treatment of severe mitral regurgitation with MitraClip placement, the consequences of transseptal puncture resulting in iatrogenic atrial septal defects (iASDs) are being increasingly realized. Closure of ...

Capecitabine-Induced Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy: A Case Report (Prarthna Bhardwaj, Vinod Chaubey and Ashequl Islam) All Scholarly Works (2019)

INTRODUCTION: The medication 5-fluorouracil is known to cause cardiotoxic effects (with an incidence ranging from 5% to 18%), such as rhythm abnormalities and cardiomyopathies, including takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Capecitabine, an oral prodrug of 5-fluorouracil, has rarely ...

Imaging in patients with severe mitral annular calcification: insights from a multicentre experience using transatrial balloon-expandable valve replacement (Ashequl Islam and David Deaton) All Scholarly Works (2019)

AIMS: To investigate valve sizing and the haemodynamic relevance of the predicted left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) in patients with mitral annular calcification (MAC) undergoing transatrial transcatheter valve implantation (THV). METHODS AND RESULTS: In total, ...

Guidelines for the Evaluation of Valvular Regurgitation After Percutaneous Valve Repair or Replacement: A Report from the American Society of Echocardiography Developed in Collaboration with the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, Japanese Society of Echocardiography, and Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (Ashequl Islam) All Scholarly Works (2019)

Feasibility, safety, and patient satisfaction of same-day discharge following peripheral arterial interventions: A randomized controlled study (Ashequl Islam, Guarav Alreja, Jaya Mallidi, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2018)

OBJECTIVE: To assess feasibility, safety, and patient satisfaction of same-day discharge (SD) following peripheral arterial interventions. BACKGROUND: Although diagnostic angiography is routinely performed as a same-day procedure, same-day percutaneous trans-luminal angioplasty is less common. Because ...

Transatrial implantation of a transcatheter heart valve for severe mitral annular calcification (Ashequl Islam and David Deaton) All Scholarly Works (2018)

OBJECTIVE: To assess the outcomes of transatrial implantation of a transcatheter heart valve (THV) for the treatment of mitral valve disease with severe mitral annular calcification (MAC). METHODS: Implantation of a balloon-expandable THV was performed ...

A novel approach to extraction of a large thrombus on the intraventricular guide-wire during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (Thomas Chin and Ashequl Islam) All Scholarly Works (2017)

For appropriate patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis with a prohibitively high surgical risk, trans-catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is now established as a viable option. Thrombosis on the intra-ventricular guide-wire during TAVR is a ...

The effect of controlled aerobic exercise on endothelial dysfunction in patients with pre-diabetes: A crossover pilot study (Sabyasachi Sen, Pragathi Saligram and Ashequl Islam) All Scholarly Works (2012)

Vascular reactivity improves in pre-diabetic patients, post aerobic exercise (Sabyasachi Sen and Ashequl Islam) All Scholarly Works (2012)

Endothelial dysfunction in healthy young pre-diabetic patients, pre and post aerobic exercise (Sabyasachi Sen and Ashequl Islam) All Scholarly Works (2011)

Aortic valve fibroelastoma presenting with myocardial infarction (Mara Slawsky and Ashequl Islam) All Scholarly Works (2011)

Fibroelastoma is a rare, benign cardiac tumor. It is the second most common primary cardiac tumor and the most common primary cardiac valvular tumor. Nonvalvular endocardial location is rare and may be difficult to differentiate ...

Preventing serious sequelae after an acute coronary syndrome: the consequences of thrombosis versus bleeding with antiplatelet therapy (Ashequl Islam and Pikeshkumar Patel) All Scholarly Works (2010)

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is associated with a persistent prothrombotic state, placing patients at high risk of subsequent ischemic events. Guidelines recommend the use of dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin + a thienopyridine (clopidogrel) for ...
