More Than Fluid: AI-Derived Pleural Effusion Volume as a Marker of Cardiovascular Congestion in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Background/Objectives: Pleural effusions are frequently encountered on pre-procedural computed tomography (CT) scans in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). While often regarded as a marker of congestion and advanced cardiovascular disease, their cl...

Biomarkers of systemic disease burden and outcomes after transcatheter tricuspid edge-to-edge repair

Abstract Background Risk stratification after transcatheter tricuspid edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) remains challenging, particularly in patients with advanced right-sided heart failure and systemic disease burden. Biomarkers reflecting inflammation, stress response and multiorgan...
