Transcatheter occlusion of venovenous collaterals in the total cavopulmonary Fontan circulation Open
Background: Venovenous collaterals are abnormal connections between the systemic and pulmonary venous systems. They are commonly seen in the Fontan circulation and may lead to significant hypoxaemia. Transcatheter closure of venovenous col…
Ventricular Arrhythmia in the Fontan Circulation: Prevalence, Risk Factors and Clinical Implications Open
Objective: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) and malignant ventricular arrhythmia (VA) are increasingly recognized as important issues for people living with a Fontan circulation, but data are lacking.We sought to characterize the cohort who had …
Platypnea‐Orthodeoxia Syndrome in the Setting of Patent Foramen Ovale Without Pulmonary Hypertension or Major Lung Disease Open
Background Patent foramen ovale (PFO)‐associated platypnea‐orthodeoxia syndrome is characterized by dyspnea and hypoxemia when upright. The pathogenesis is thought to involve an increase in right atrial pressure or change in degree of righ…
The role of intracoronary thrombolysis in selected patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a case series Open
Background Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the cornerstone of management for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, large intracoronary thrombus burden complicates up to 70% of STEMI cases. Adjunct therapi…
P220 Behcet"s disease with right ventricular aneurysm Open
Funding Acknowledgements Nil Introduction Behcet’s disease (BD) is a rare inflammatory disorder, which predominantly impacts people of Mediterranean and East Asian origin. While the aetiology is unknown, the prevailing disorder is vasculit…
Bradycardia-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia after radiofrequency catheter ablation for right atrial flutter Open
Key Teaching Points•While polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is a life-threatening complication of atrioventricular junction catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, we describe the first case seen after radiofrequency catheter ablation…
Coronary artery vasospasm in a patient with Churg-Strauss syndrome Open
Patients with Churg-Strauss syndrome often suffer from unusual cardiac manifestations and sudden cardiac death. This differs from patients with other autoimmune disorders, who typically present with premature ischaemic heart disease. We re…
Management errors in adults with congenital heart disease: prevalence, sources, and consequences Open
Non-adherence with guidelines was common in the ACHD population, and this frequently resulted in important adverse clinical consequences. These problems were more likely in patients who had not been receiving specialized CHD care. Configur…
Sudden cardiac death in adults with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries Open
Background Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) is a rare congenital heart disease. There have been only few reports of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with ccTGA and reasonable ventricular function. Me…
