Abstract We present a dynamic, continuous-time model in which risk averse inside equityholders set bank’s lending, payout, and financing policies, the exposure of bank assets to crashes. examine whether bailouts encourage excessive lending taking compared liquidation or bail-ins with debt-to-equity conversion debt write-downs. The effects prevailing insolvency resolution mechanism (IRM) on prob...

The crisis of 2007-8 was a crisis of collateral. Since then, financial market participants – particularly in the euro area and the United States – have shown an increased appetite for secured lending. In short-term bank funding markets, there has been a pronounced shift towards repurchase arrangements. And covered bonds have gained in popularity in long-term funding markets. The cyclical flight...

Implanting a self-expandable stent at the ostium of the common iliac artery (CIA) may lead to coverage of the orifice of the contralateral CIA. Here, we describe a novel application of the culotte stent technique using a balloon-expandable stent to bail out an ostial stenotic legion of a jailed CIA due to prior self-expandable stent placement. The bilateral CIAs were revascularized by culotte s...

Over the past several decades, mechanical circulatory support has become an increasingly important treatment for patients with advanced heart failure. Initial proof-of-concept trials focused on reducing the mortality of critically ill patients in cardiogenic shock. Although the ultimate goal of mechanically assisted circulation was always long-term support as an alternative to cardiac transplan...

We encountered a case of an iatrogenic intra-stent coronary dissection at the guiding catheter engagement in 6-month follow-up angiography after a biolimuseluting stent implantation in the left main coronary artery (LMCA). The optical coherence tomography revealed peeling of the thin neointima inside the stent and thrombus formation. We made a reentry through the dissected lumen with the guide ...

Thoracic endovascular aortic reconstruction (TEVAR) is increasingly used in the management of descending aortic pathology including aneurysms, dissections and transaction. When treating aortic arch pathology, hybrid procedures have been devised, in which major supra-aortic arteries are translocated using a variety of techniques. Such hybrid procedures offer an attractive alternative to open arc...
