Spontaneous termination of ventricular fibrillation [PDF]
A 65 year old woman with hypertension and permanent atrial fibrillation had suffered two brief syncopal episodes. She was on losartan, digoxin, and aspirin. The ECG showed atrial fibrillation and incomplete left bundle branch block; the QT interval was 0.36 s and the QTc 0.414 s. The echocardiogram revealed mild dilatation and dysfunction of …

ABSTRACT Background Plug‐based vascular closure devices (Pb‐VCD) and suture‐based vascular closure devices (Sb‐VCD) are used for percutaneous vascular access site closure during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Until now, no clear superiority of either device was shown in studies comparing 18 F VCDs solely.
