Clinical outcomes of transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair in patients with functional mitral regurgitation and pulmonary hypertension

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, EarlyView.
This study reveals that patients with PH have worse clinical outcomes, in terms of hospitalization for heart failure (HF) and the composite endpoint of HF hospitalization and death at 1‐year follow‐up, compared with patients without PH. In particular, the hemodynamic subgroup of combined post‐ and pre‐capillary PH is associated with worse clinical ...

Transesophageal echocardiography diagnosis of abnormal left atrium to inferior vena cava communication: A case report

Clinical Case Reports
Key Clinical Message Abnormal traffic between the left atrium (LA) and inferior vena cava (IVC) in the database is currently rare. Herein, we present a unique case of abnormal traffic between the LA and the IVC, which was diagnosed using transesophageal ...

Migraine and patent foramen ovale: correlation, coexistence, dependence. A narrative review

Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, EarlyView.
Plain Language Summary This review looked at what scientists know about the connection between migraine and a small heart opening called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). It showed that people with migraine, especially with aura, often have PFO, but it is not certain whether closing this heart opening helps prevent strokes in these patients.

Emerging Concepts in Transesophageal Echocardiography [PDF]

F1000Research, 2016
Introduced in 1977, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) offered imaging through a new acoustic window sitting directly behind the heart, allowing improved evaluation of many cardiac conditions. Shortly thereafter, TEE was applied to the intraoperative environment, as investigators quickly recognized that continuous cardiac evaluation and monitoring ...

Comparison of Two Different Pulsed Field Ablation Systems: The Dual Pulse System Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Recently, multiple pulsed field ablation (PFA)‐system were introduced for catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, data comparing procedural performance, the extent of low‐voltage areas (LVA), and myocardial injury between different PFA‐systems in a real‐world setting remain scarce.

Transesophageal echocardiography in perioperative period guiding the decision making during hemodynamic instability due to atrial fibrillation [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Anestesiologia
Background and objective: Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, which may occur during the perioperative period and lead to hemodynamic instability due to loss of atrial systolic function.

Impact of Immunosuppressive Drugs on Patients With Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) reduces the risk of thromboembolic stroke in patients with non‐valvular atrial fibrillation who cannot tolerate long‐term oral anticoagulation. However, outcomes after LAAC in patients requiring chronic immunosuppressive therapy (IMS) remain unknown. This study aimed to investigate

Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography of the atrial septal defects

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2008
Transesophageal echocardiography has advantages over transthoracic technique in defining morphology of atrial structures. Even though real time three-dimensional echocardiographic imaging is a reality, the off-line reconstruction technique usually allows

Visualization of Real‐Time Esophageal Location Using Intracardiac Echocardiography on a Three‐Dimensional Mapping System: Comparison of Esophageal Location Using Preoperative Computed Tomography and Investigation of Predictors for Esophageal Movement During Catheter Ablation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Esophageal imaging using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE‐Eso) showed a more accurate real‐time esophageal location than preoperative computed tomography (CT‐Eso). Non‐fasting on the day of catheter ablation (CA) may be a predictor of esophageal movement on the day of CA.
