To evaluate the incidence, predictors and outcomes of female patients with patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) following transcatheter aortic valve intervention (TAVI) for severe aortic stenosis (AS). Female AS TAVI recipients have a significantly lower mortality than surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) recipients, which could be attributed to the potentially lower PPM rates. TAVI has been associated with lower rates of PPM compared to SAVR. PPM in females post TAVI has not been investigated to date. The WIN-TAVI (Women's INternational Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) registry is a multicenter registry of women undergoing TAVR for severe symptomatic AS. Two hundred and fifty patients with detailed periprocedural and follow-up echocardiographic investigations were included in the WIN-TAVI echocardiographic sub-study. PPM was defined as per European guidelines stratified by the presence of obesity. The incidence of PPM in our population was 32.8%. Patients with PPM had significantly higher BM clinical outcomes. Treatment of melasma with lasers remains a challenge due to its limited clinical efficacy in addition to high rates of recurrence and side effects. Recently, picosecond lasers have shown favorable results in treatment of benign pigmented lesions. To compare the efficacy and safety of using a 755-nm picosecond laser for the treatment of melasma in a split-face manner, having one side treated with a fractionated beam (diffractive lens array [DLA] coupling) and with a full-beam (flat optics) on the other side. Eighteen subjects presenting with mixed-type melasma were enrolled. Each patient was randomly treated with a 755-nm picosecond laser coupled with DLA on one side of the face and without DLA (flat optics) on the other side. The laser was delivered through an 8-mm spot size with an average flu
