Cross-validating the iTBS-induced Hemodynamic Response From fNIRS and fMRI: a Concurrent iTBS-fMRI-fNIRS Study
Intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is well established in treating patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the iTBS-induced hemodynamic response during or immediately after a full session of stimulation has not been fully investigated. Although several concurrent iTBS/functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) and …
A Clinical and Imaging Registry of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Using JenaValve System/ J-Valve System for Patients With Pure Aortic Regurgitation
Aortic regurgitation (AR) is not uncommon. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for treating pure aortic regurgitation is a potential future treatment option for pure AR especially in patients having high risk for open heart surgery. TAVI using dedicated device for pure AR has a different anchor mechanism to TAVI for …
