The aortic translocation (Nikaidoh) procedure: Initial experience [PDF]
ObjectiveMidterm follow-up is analyzed after the aortic translocation (Nikaidoh) procedure, an alternative to the Rastelli procedure for ventriculoarterial discordance, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary stenosis especially in cases with small or ...

Surgical removal of a left ventricular myxoma in an infant
Left ventricular (LV) myxoma is particularly rare in children and has not been reported in infants. A five-month-old baby presented with a myxoma arising from the anterior, lateral, and superior aspect of the LV, causing severe left ventricular outflow ...

Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Prior to Self‐Expanding TAVI: The BAVSE‐TAVI Registry
ABSTRACT Background Direct transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) approach is feasible and safe compared to predilatation‐TAVI. Certain clinical and computerized tomography (CT)‐based characteristics might indicate the need for balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) before TAVI, especially with self‐expanding valves.

Metabolic changes during cardiac regeneration in the axolotl
Abstract Background The axolotl is a prominent model organism of heart regeneration due to its ability to anatomically and functionally repair the heart after an injury that mimics human myocardial infarction. In humans, such an injury leads to permanent scarring. Cardiac regeneration has been linked to metabolism and the oxygenation state, but so far,

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy and Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy often presents to the cardiac catheterization laboratory masquerading as acute ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Some of these patients present in shock secondary to dynamic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction.

Postoperative Dissecting Ventricular Septal Hematoma: Recognition and Treatment [PDF]
Dissecting ventricular septal hematoma (DVSH) rarely occurs after repair of a ventricular septal defect (VSD) but can lead to serious complications such as septal rupture, myocardial rupture, cardiogenic shock, heart block, outflow obstruction, cardiac ...

Physiological and clinical consequences of relief of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction late after repair of congenital heart defects. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) is a common problem after repair of congenital heart disease. Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) can treat this condition without consequent pulmonary regurgitation or ...

Lineage labeling with zebrafish hand2 Cre and CreERT2 recombinase CRISPR knock‐ins
Abstract Background The ability to generate endogenous Cre recombinase drivers using CRISPR‐Cas9 knock‐in technology allows lineage tracing, cell type‐specific gene studies, and in vivo validation of inferred developmental trajectories from phenotypic and gene expression analyses. This report describes endogenous zebrafish hand2 Cre and CreERT2 drivers

Pattern and degree of left ventricular remodeling following a tailored surgical approach for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
Background The role of a tailored surgical approach for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) on regional ventricular remodelling remains unknown. The aims of this study were to evaluate the pattern, extent and functional impact of regional ventricular ...
