Objective: To evaluate anatomic changes in the aortic root after different aortic root enlargement (ARE) techniques and assess the risk of coronary obstruction during future valve-in-valve (ViV) transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures ...

ABSTRACT Background Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) leads to chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of the pulmonary arteries in a minority of patients. Treatment of CTOs with balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) may substantially improve patient hemodynamics but presents unique technical challenges and has previously been associated with a ...

A case of anomalous coronary artery origin: The role of computerised tomography
Objective: To illustrate the utility of CT coronary angiography in the assessment of patients with anomalous coronary arteries. Methods: A 65-year-old woman who presented with a clinical history of unstable angina was investigated with both computerised ...

ABSTRACT Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a rare chronic granulomatous large‐vessel vasculitis predominantly affecting the aorta and its major branches, leading to stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysm formation. It typically presents in young women, though atypical cases can occur in older adults.

Cuspal dissection of aorta during cardiac interventions is rare. It can be asymptomatic or can cause life threatening complications. It can be managed by stenting the ostia of the involved coronary artery or may require surgical intervention when it is ...

This study reports a 25.2% incidence of acute pericardial effusion following vein of Marshall ethanol infusion for persistent atrial fibrillation. The extent of the resulting low‐voltage area was identified as an independent predictor of pericardial effusion, reflecting the magnitude of chemical injury.

Case of Double Right Coronary Artery: Diagnosed on Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography
Anomalies of the coronary artery are often asymptomatic and uncommon. Double right coronary artery (RCA) is a very rare coronary anomaly. So far, the number of reported cases of double RCA is not many.

Patients aged ≥ 80 years with atrial fibrillation underwent catheter ablation. At 2 years, the recurrence‐free survival rate was 85.8% in paroxysmal AF and 63.6% in persistent AF (p = 0.024), and periprocedural complications occurred in 12.0%, including severe complications in 3.3%.

Para‐Hisian Extra Pacing Enables Unmasking of Hidden Slow Retrograde Conduction
In the presence of dual retrograde pathways, conventional Para‐Hisian pacing may fail to reveal the slow pathway, likely due to masking by fast retrograde conduction. In such cases, Para‐Hisian extra pacing—combining programmed right ventricular stimulation with differential His bundle capture—enables assessment of the slow retrograde conduction.
