Pre-hospital ambulance notification and initiation of treatment of ST elevation myocardial infarction is associated with significant reduction in door-to-balloon time for primary PCI
M. Savage,Karl Poon,Erin M. Johnston,Owen Christopher Raffel,Alexander Incani,John Bryant,Stephen Rashford,M. Pincus,Darren L. Walters +8 more
TL;DR: Pre-hospital intervention at the centre had a powerful effect in reducing the time to reperfusion in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous intervention.

Impact of optimising fluoroscopic implant angles on paravalvular regurgitation in transcatheter aortic valve replacements - utility of three-dimensional rotational angiography.
Karl Poon,James A. Crowhurst,Christopher James,Douglas Campbell,Damian Roper,Jonathan Chan,Alexander Incani,Andrew Clarke,Peter Tesar,C. Aroney,Owen Christopher Raffel,Darren L. Walters +11 more
TL;DR: Optimising implant angles may be important in reducing PVR, and is significantly more likely to be achieved with AVG rotational angiography than with preprocedural multislice computed tomography and DynaCT.

Early experience of transaortic TAVI--the future of surgical TAVI?
Andrew Clarke,Paul Wiemers,Karl Poon,C. Aroney,Gregory M. Scalia,Darryl J. Burstow,Darren L. Walters,Peter Tesar +7 more
TL;DR: The transaortic TAVI approach provides good exposure of the distal ascending aorta, a familiar cannulation site for cardiac surgeons and may ultimately become the procedure of choice for patients unsuitable for a transfemoral approach.

Tony S. Chen,Alexander Incani,Thomas Butler,Karl Poon,J. Fu,Michael P. Savage,M. Dahl,Donna E. Callow,Daniel Colburn,C. Hammett,Darren L. Walters +10 more
TL;DR: The need for aggressive risk factor modification, with particular attention to smoking and dyslipidaemia, before the onset of overt clinical disease is highlighted.

Factors Contributing to Acute Kidney Injury and the Impact on Mortality in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
James A. Crowhurst,Michael P. Savage,Vijayakumar Subban,Alexander Incani,Owen Christopher Raffel,Karl Poon,Dale Murdoch,R. Saireddy,Andrew Clarke,C. Aroney,C. Aroney,Nicholas Bett,Darren L. Walters +12 more
TL;DR: Investigation of acute kidney injury and the relationship with iodinated contrast media found that chronic kidney disease, respiratory failure, previous stroke, the need for blood transfusion and valve repositioning were all predictors of AKI.
