What general practitioners need to know about patent foramen ovale [PDF]
A patent foramen ovale (PFO) consists of a hole between the right and left atriums of the heart that did not close the way it should after birth. Twenty five percent of the population have a PFO, but this usually does not cause problems, because the ...

Hemolysis induced by PMIVSD occluder
Hemolysis related to occluder, prosthetic valve, and prosthetic ring used for mitral valve annuloplasty are not very unusual. However, hemolysis related to transcathetor closure of post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (PMIVSD) is ...

Repeated successful surgical rescues of early and delayed multiple ruptures of ventricular septum, right ventricle and aneurysmal left ventricle following massive biventricular infarction [PDF]
A 58 year old man underwent 6 surgical interventions for various complications of massive biventricular myocardial infarction over a period of 2 years following acute occlusion of a possibly "hyperdominant" left anterior descending coronary artery. These

Adaptive 4D‐Printed Vascular Stents With Low‐Temperature‐Activated and Intelligent Deployment
Microarchitected coronary artery stents were fabricated using a polycaprolactone (PCL)‐based shape memory polymer (SMP) composite via projection micro‐stereolithography (PµSL) 4D printing. By incorporating diethyl phthalate (DEP) as a plasticizer, the thermal transition temperature (Ttran) was modulated to about 37°C, enabling rapid and autonomous ...

Creation of ventricular septal defects on the beating heart in a new pig model [PDF]
Background/ Aims: So far, surgical and interventional therapies for muscular ventricular septal defects ( mVSDs) beyond the moderator band have had their limitations. Thus, alternative therapeutic strategies should be developed.

Infective endocarditis of transcatheter atrial septal occluder devices: A case report
Infective endocarditis (IE) is caused by bacterial vegetation in valves, but it can also occur in implanted mechanical devices. We report a rare case of IE occurring at the site of percutaneous atrial septal closure devices in a patient in her 50s that had been placed for residual defects on a closure patch in her childhood for an atrial septal defect (

ABSTRACT Iatrogenic perforation of the left atrium and aorta during transseptal puncture (TSP) is a rare but potentially life‐threatening complication. This report presents the case of an elderly male patient with a 20‐year history of atrial fibrillation who experienced this complication during a scheduled left atrial appendage closure procedure ...
