Paced Right Bundle Branch Block Rhythm: Perforated, Displaced, or Neither? Open
Transvenous endocardial pacing of the right ventricle normally produces a QRS complex of left bundle branch block pattern (LBBB) on electrocardiogram. Although a paced right bundle branch block (RBBB) pattern can draw suspicion to lead per…
Revascularization of an acute right coronary artery long flap dissection with “Prolapsing knuckle wire technique” Open
We present a rare case of revascularization of right coronary artery long flap dissection with novel prolapsing knuckle wire technique as the wire was repeatedly entering into the large medial dissection flap rendering the forward advancem…
The Unique Role of Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) in Debulking the Nodular Calcium in Left Main Coronary Artery Bifurcation Open
Nodular calcium poses a great challenge during coronary intervention. The presence of nodular calcium is associated with poor post-procedural outcomes. Without debulking the nodular calcium, it is extremely difficult to pass the coronary h…
The Unique Role of Cutting Balloon Angioplasty in Debulking Multiple Nodular Calcium in Osteoproximal and Mid-left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery Open
We report a rare case of multiple nodular calcium in the left anterior descending coronary artery in an octogenarian presenting with unstable angina. Dilatation with the noncompliant and scoring balloon could not yield the nodular calcium …
Starry Sky Appearance of an Amyloid Heart in Plasma Cell Dyscrasias Open
We report an extremely rare case of amyloid heart with classical “Starry Sky” appearance in echocardiography in a 52-year-old male presenting with systemic amyloidosis secondary to plasma cell dyscrasias. Interestingly, patient presented w…
A Rare Case of Radial Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) Post-Transradial Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Open
We report a rare case of radial arteriovenous fistula in a middle-aged person after a successful transradial percutaneous coronary intervention. Early release of manual radial compression was the culprit behind the development of radial ar…
Multivalvular Enterococcal Native Valve Endocarditis: A Case Report Open
We present an extremely rare case of multivalvular endocarditis in an immunocompetent host which is not observed in routine clinical practice. Multivalvular endocarditis is extremely rare to find in today’s era due to the widespread use of…
An Unusual Presentation of a Rare Case of Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Left Atrium as Severe Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis with Atrial Fibrillation, Fast Ventricular Rate, and Left Atrial Failure Open
It is extremely rare to encounter primary malignant tumors of the heart. Rhabdomyoma constitutes approximately 20% of all primary malignant tumors of the heart. Rhabdomyoma commonly arises from the ventricular wall, and rarely, they arise …
A Retrospective Study on Drug and Dietary Patterns in Patients With Severe Rheumatic Valvular Heart Disease in Eastern India Open
Background India has a high prevalence of rheumatic valvular heart diseases. Empirical treatment in rheumatic heart disease curtails morbidity and mortality. Less is known about the drug and dietary management of severe rheumatic heart dis…
An Unusual Presentation of a Benign Giant Mature Intrathoracic Mediastinal Teratoma with Right Ventricular Failure and Cardiac Cachexia Open
Mature mediastinal teratomas are infrequent, slow growing, and often asymptomatic. Traditionally, they present in the fourth decade or earlier and are found in the anterior mediastinum. These teratomas are often found incidentally on imagi…
