Transparavertebral Occlusion of a Large Venovenous Collateral in a Fontan Patient
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Patients with a univentricular heart following completion of the Fontan circulation often experience varying degrees of desaturation due to the formation of venovenous collaterals. We present a rare case of a Fontan patient with an enlarged azygous vein shunting into the pulmonary venous system, causing significant desaturation. As no standard

A brief overview of surgery for atrial fibrillation [PDF]
, 2014 The Maze procedure was the first surgical technique developed to ablate, rather than isolate, atrial fibrillation and was first performed clinically in 1987.

A Comparative Study of Ultrasonography and CT Venography in the Diagnosis of Budd‐Chiari Syndrome
Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.Budd‐Chiari syndrome (BCS) is characterized by hepatic venous outflow obstruction from the hepatic veins to the junction of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and right atrium. Ultrasound (US) and CT venography (CTV) are used as imaging techniques for the diagnosis of BCS, and We compared the diagnostic efficacy of the two modalities. The results showed that

Left atrial appendage closure: a percutaneous transcatheter approach for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation [PDF]
, 2017 Atrial fibrillation is a frequent cause of stroke; in the elderly, more than 20% of strokes are attributed to this common arrhythmia. Anticoagulation with warfarin reduces the risk of stroke by ∼60%; however, a large proportion of patients with atrial ...

Acute mesenteric ischemia due to superior mesenteric artery embolism in a patient with permanent atrial fibrillation [PDF]
, 2010 Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is an uncommon disorder with a high mortality rate. Reduction in mortality requires a high index of suspicion and prompt diagnosis.

Interventional oncology in children: Where are we now?
Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.Abstract Paediatric Interventional Oncology (IO) lags behind adult IO due to a scarcity of specific outcome data. The suboptimal way to evolve this field is relying heavily on adult experiences. The distinct tumour types prevalent in children, such as extracranial germ cell tumours, sarcomas, and neuroblastoma, differ strongly from those found in ...

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Atrial tachycardias (AT) after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) may utilize Bachmann's bundle (BB). Due to their epicardial location, these ATs remain poorly understood. Objective To describe the electrophysiologic and anatomic basis of BB‐related ATs.
