ABSTRACT Background Valve‐in‐valve (ViV) procedures are an established therapy. Self‐expanding (SE) supra‐annular transcatheter heart valves (THV) achieve superior hemodynamics compared to balloon‐expandable (BE) intra‐annular THV, but influence of stent design versus valve position remains unclear.

Giant interatrial septal aneurysm mimicking a left atrial mass
Interatrial septal aneurysm (IASA) consists of redundant atrial septal tissue, which bulges into either the left or the right atrium. The clinical implications of this entity are not entirely clear; however, if it is associated with other cardiac ...

ABSTRACT Background To reduce complications associated with metal occluders, bioabsorbable occluders have been implanted for perimembranous ventricular septal defects (VSDs) via transthoracic approach. This study investigates the feasibility of echocardiography‐guided percutaneous closure of perimembranous VSDs in children using bioabsorbable occluders,

ABSTRACT Background Infective endocarditis (IE) after transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) remains a significant concern. Although there are overall good short‐term and long‐term hemodynamic outcomes, limited data exist comparing postimplantation echocardiographic findings leading to IE.

ABSTRACT The patent foramen ovale (PFO), present in 25% of the population, can cause paradoxical embolism and stroke. Transcatheter PFO closure is the gold standard for recurrent embolism with significant inter‐atrial shunting, with recent trials confirming its superiority in reducing ischemic stroke recurrence over medical therapy.

Estimating Mean Pulmonary Wedge Pressure in Patients With Chronic Atrial Fibrillation From Transthoracic Doppler Indexes of Mitral and Pulmonary Venous Flow Velocity [PDF]
Objectives. We sought to obtain a noninvasive estimation of mean pulmonary wedge pressure (MPWP) in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation (AF).Background. It has previously been demonstrated that MPWP can be reliably estimated from Doppler indexes of

A Young Man With Primary Pulmonary Myxoma
ABSTRACT Primary pulmonary myxoma is a rare tumor and is usually diagnosed incidentally in clinically asymptomatic patients as a well‐defined lung mass without metastasizing. It should also be considered that diagnostic methods such as bronchoscopy or transthoracic aspiration may be nondiagnostic.

Acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock: an algorithm based ECMO program can improve clinical outcomes. [PDF]
Objective: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in our institution resulted in near total mortality prior to the establishment of an algorithm-based program in July 2010. We hypothesized that an algorithm based ECMO program improves the outcome of
