Management of device embolization following left atrial appendage closure: Two cases and a review of the literature Open
Objectives Device embolization (DE) following left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is a severe but uncommon complication, and limited data address optimal management strategies for this condition. This review presents two cases of device e…
The Role of Genetics in Congenital Heart Disease-Associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Open
Pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease (APAH-CHD) is a severely progressive condition with complex pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of genetic variants to the developmen…
Management of hypertension and coronary artery disease in vasculitis patients using glucocorticoids Open
Systemic vasculitis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation and damage to blood vessels, often involving multiple organ systems. Glucocorticoids (GCs) are a cornerstone in managing vasculitis and other rheumatologic conditi…
Challenging clinical management of a patient with Gaucher disease type IIIC homozygous for the D409H mutation, aortic valve calcification and porcelain aorta Open
Background. Gaucher disease is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by glucocerebrosidase enzyme deficiency resulting in the cumulative deposition of glucocerebroside in macrophages, predominantly effecting bone marrow, liver and splee…
Prediction of New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation. Open
AF in patients treated with TAVI may pose significant risks for morbidity and mortality. PA-TDI duration, a readily available echocardiographic parameter, can detect patients with a high risk of new-onset AF.
The PRELIEVE trial:Final 1-year outcomes of the prospective atrial flow regulator study Open
Background Implantation of the Atrial Flow Regulator (AFR) with an 8 or 10mm interatrial fenestration reduces left sided filling pressures in symptomatic heart failure (HF). Here, we report the final one-year results on safety and efficacy…
Evaluation of Anaesthetic Approaches in Transcatheter Aortic Valv Implantation Procedures Open
GA is related to increased procedure time and acute kidney injury; therefore, local anaesthesia and sedation may be the first option in patients undergoing TAVI.
Aggressive Treatment of Refractory Coronary Artery Vasospasm in a Patient with Malignant Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia and Cardiac Arrest Open
Coronary artery vasospasm (CAVS) is a clinical entity that can cause angina, but also unstable angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, fatal arrhythmias, and sudden death. Although it is a condition that is usually controlled with me…
Percutaneous interventions of coronary artery fistulas: a single-center experience Open
Coronary artery fistulas may present with different symptoms or complications and there are several techniques for percutaneous occlusion. Percutaneous closure of CAF is feasible and safe in anatomically suitable vessels, with good results…
Assessment of Cardiac Autonomic Functions by Heart Rate Recovery Indices in Patients Receiving Chest Radiotherapy Open
Objective: Although the introduction of radiation therapy for the management of thoracic malignancies has led to a significant improvement in disease-specific survival, this has resulted in the emergence of a new spectrum of cardiovascular…
CT dose management for neurologic events in patients with cardiac devices: Radiation exposure variation in patients with cardiac devices Open
Cranial CT acquisition parameters and radiation doses vary significantly between centers, which necessitates optimization of cranial CT protocols to overcome the cumulative radiation dose burden in patients with neurologic events.
Is Takayasu's arteritis more severe in children? Open
Our paediatric onset TAK patients presented with a more severe inflammation and more widespread vascular involvement. Multicentre studies from different geographic areas are needed to verify our observation and understand the underlying ca…
