Time for registration and analysis was heterogeneously reported, ranging between 5-30 min. Mean target registration error was reported in seven studies (7/29, 24.1%) at 1.62 mm (range 1.20-2.23 mm). Inter-operator reproducibility was high (kappa range 0.686-1). Ascites, liver deformation and inconspicuous tumor were major factors of co-registration error. Available studies present a low level of evidence overall, since most of them are feasibility, retrospective and single-center studies.

We report the first TAVR performed with a gadolinium-based contrast agent, gadobutrol (GBCA) in a patient with severe recurrent ICM allergic reactions despite prophylactic treatment.Vascular closure devices (VCDs) are widely used as an alternative to manual compression of femoral puncture sites. In this report, we present a 73-year-old man who developed symptomatic venous stenosis related to VCD after pulmonary vein isolation. We performed percutaneous treatment with balloon angioplasty. This case suggests that balloon angioplasty with proper safety measures can be an option for treating venous stenosis related to VCDs. The role of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in atherosclerosis progression and neointimal growth after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies on EPCs in patients who had PCI. We searched Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane databases and reviewed cited references up to August 31, 2021. Overall, we selected 9 studies, including 4612 patients. Lower baseline EPC count was as
