ABSTRACT Background Predicting the need for permanent pacemaker implantation (PPM) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is crucial for procedural planning and patient counseling. Aims To evaluate whether left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) morphology, specifically a tapered configuration, predicts conduction disturbances requiring PPM

Recanalization of Thrombosed Atrial Flow Regulator in Failing Fontan: A Bridge to Transplant
ABSTRACT We report the case of a 10‐year‐old boy (41 kg, 133 cm) with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (mitral and aortic atresia), who underwent staged palliation: Norwood‐Sano at 6 days, Glenn at 7 months, and Fontan completion at 3 years using a 16 mm non‐fenestrated extracardiac Gore‐Tex conduit.

ABSTRACT Background Trans‐catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with large annuli poses procedural difficulties and possible complications. Aims We sought to compare the peri‐procedural and long‐term outcomes of patients with large annuli undergoing TAVR with self‐expanding (SEV) versus balloon‐expandable (BEV) valves.

ABSTRACT Background Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare but devastating complication of acute myocardial infarction (MI), associated with high mortality despite advances in reperfusion therapy. However, contemporary data examining national trends in VSR outcomes and the evolving role of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in this population ...
