A 60-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of dyspnea on exertion. He was diagnosed with heart failure due to an old myocardial infarction. Myocardial stress perfusion scintigraphy revealed inducible myocardial ischemia. Coronary angiography revealed hazy slit lesions in both the left

OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility of axillary transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) using the Lotus valve. BACKGROUND TAVI is used to treat patients with severe aortic stenosis, with transfemoral (TF) access being the safest and most widely used route. In patients unsuitable for this,

OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of aorto-ventricular angulation (AA) on procedural success with the Lotus Valve system. BACKGROUND AA, the angulation of the aortic valve basal plane, may affect the deployment of transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVRs). The Lotus Valve system is fully

OBJECTIVE To report a first case series of the Lotus valve (Boston Scientific) for the treatment of surgical aortic bioprosthesis failure. BACKGROUND Valve-in-valve (VIV) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an established management option for surgical aortic bioprosthesis failure.

OBJECTIVE To assess outcomes with a new fully repositionable and retrievable valve for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). RESULTS The Lotus Aortic Valve System is designed to facilitate precise positioning and minimise paravalvular regurgitation. REPRISE I enrolled symptomatic,

Nogo receptor-1 (NgR1) and its ligands inhibit neuronal plasticity and limit functional recovery after brain damage such as ischemic stroke. We have previously shown that lateral olfactory tract usher substance (LOTUS) antagonizes NgR1-mediated signaling. Here, we investigated whether LOTUS enhances
