Volume 15 Number 3

In this issue: a transoesophageal echo study of the prevalence of extra-appendage thrombosis in non-valvular atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter in cardioversion; transoesophageal echo-based simulation of the mitral valve for MitraClip placement; annular vs. supra-annular sizing for TAVI in bicuspid aortic valve stenosis; the effect of stenting on the near-infrared spectroscopy-derived lipid core burden index of carotid artery plaque; and a SYNTAX II study follow-up on clinical outcomes of percutaneous coronary revascularisation in 3-vessel disease.
