Successful Percutaneous Edge-to-Edge Mitral Valve Repair in a Patient With Mediastinal Shift

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
Mediastinal shift often induces deformation of the esophagus and the cardiac chamber. We describe the case of percutaneous mitral edge-to-edge valve repair in a patient with mediastinal shift. Esophagography enabled the advancement of the transesophageal

Percutaneous Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale in a Patient With Incomplete Cor Triatriatum Sinister: A Case Report

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
We present the case of a 55‐year‐old male who experienced a cryptogenic ischemic stroke, likely due to a patent foramen ovale (PFO) in the setting of an incomplete cor triatriatum sinister (CTS) and a 30 mm GORE Cardioform Septal Occluder was successfully implanted.

Temporal Trends in Post‐LAAO Surveillance Imaging: Increasing Adoption of CT‐Based Follow‐Up in Contemporary Practice

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Surveillance imaging after left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is recommended to evaluate for peri‐device leak and device‐related thrombus, with both transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and cardiac computed tomography (CT) considered appropriate modalities.

Impact of Carina Width on Re‐Ablation Rate of Atrial Fibrillation After Primary Cryoballoon‐Ablation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Right side carina width is associated with the incidence of reconnection of RPVs and re‐ablation. Increased left side carina width was associated with re‐ablation rate, but there was no association with reconnection of the LPVs. ABSTRACT Background Reconnection of the pulmonary veins (PVs) is the primary cause of atrial fibrillation (AF) episodes after

Zero‐Fluoroscopy Ablation Methods for Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Central illustration. Schematic comparison of conventional fluoroscopy guided ablation (left) and zero fluoroscopy ablation (right), enabled by electroanatomical mapping and intracardiac echocardiography for catheter navigation without X ray. The study selection process is summarized (133 records identified; 12 studies included, total n = 1998 ...

Navigating the Zero Fluoroscopy Frontier: Current Tools, Evidence and Future Directions in Electrophysiology Procedures

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Graphical Abstract ABSTRACT Fluoroscopy has traditionally been the mainstay imaging technique for guidance during electrophysiology (EP) ablation procedures. The numerous disadvantages associated with radiation exposure for both operators and patients have created the need for zero‐fluoroscopy (ZF) approaches. Today, electrophysiologists have access to

Late Extraction of Micra AV and Implantation of Right Atrial Leadless Pacemaker

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Tine‐based leadless pacemakers have been commercially implanted over the last 10 years. Retrieval of older devices is rarely discussed and based on rare case reports only. Methods A retrospective review of an extraction case of a Micra AV leadless pacemaker was performed. Internal Review Board approval was obtained.

Acute Rheumatic Fever Without Pharyngitis: A Case Report

Journal of General and Family Medicine, Volume 27, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT An 18‐year‐old man presented with fatigue and polyarthralgia refractory to nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). He had no history of sore throat or other upper respiratory symptoms. Reactive arthritis was initially suspected. However, persistent symptoms, fever, polyarthritis, a cardiac murmur, atrioventricular block, and an elevated

Diagnosis of infective endocarditis with cardiac CT in an adult

Radiology Case Reports, 2019
The diagnosis of infective endocarditis is based on modified Duke's criteria, which includes clinical, biological, and echocardiographic findings. However, computed tomography (CT) has not been mentioned as a diagnostic tool in the criteria.
