Autopsy findings in cases of fatal COVID‐19 vaccine‐induced myocarditis
Abstract COVID‐19 vaccines have been linked to myocarditis, which, in some circumstances, can be fatal. This systematic review aims to investigate potential causal links between COVID‐19 vaccines and death from myocarditis using post‐mortem analysis.

Migration forces of transcatheter aortic valves in patients with noncalcific aortic insufficiency [PDF]
Transcatheter aortic valves have been successfully implanted into the calcified leaflets of patients with severe aortic stenosis. However, their stability in patients with noncalcified aortic insufficiency is unknown. Similar to thoracic and abdominal aortic stent grafts, transcatheter aortic valves are subjected to antegrade ejection forces during ...

Abstract Aims Although predominant in routine practice, non‐ischaemic cardiogenic shock (NICS) remains underrepresented in past studies, mainly focused on ischaemic cardiogenic shock (CS). This study aims to describe the current NICS picture and define its independent correlates of short‐ and long‐term outcomes.

Aortic insufficiency in a patient with a quadricuspid aortic valve and abnormal left coronary ostium
A 64-year-old female had symptomatic severe aortic insufficiency and was taken up for aortic valve replacement. The patient was found to have a quadricuspid aortic valve and abnormally located early bifurcated left coronary ostium which were very near to

Development of a patient-specific finite element model of the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) procedure [PDF]
This work reports on a study to develop a patient-specific finite element model of the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation procedure, using a model of a balloon-expandable percutaneous prosthetic aortic valve as a framework for the prediction of its performance.

Predicting right ventricular failure after left ventricular assist device implant: A novel approach
Abstract Aims Right ventricular (RV) failure (RVF) after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implant is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Modern, data‐driven approaches for defining and predicting RVF have been under‐utilized. Methods Two hundred thirty‐two patients were identified with a mean age of 55 years; 40 (17%) were women, 132 ...
