Oxidative Stress and NLRP3 Inflammasome as Markers of Cardiac Injury Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Potential Implications for Patients with Preoperative Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction Open
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can lead to cardiac damage due to oxidative stress (OS) and inflammation in heart failure (HF). We tested the hypothesis that preoperative HF patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) subjected to CBP hav…

Right Ventricular Wall Dissection After a Late-Presenting Inferior Myocardial Infarction Open
A 40-year-old male presented with an inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Multimodality imaging identified a ventricular septal defect and a right ventricular free wall dissection. He was bridged with a percutaneous microax…

Exome Sequencing Identifies Genetic Variants Associated with Extreme Manifestations of the Cardiovascular Phenotype in Marfan Syndrome Open
Marfan Syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant condition caused by variants in the fibrillin-1 (FBN1) gene. Cardinal features of MFS include ectopia lentis (EL), musculoskeletal features and aortic root aneurysm and dissection. Although di…

Transapical Closure of a Pseudoaneurysm of the Mitral-Aortic Intervalvular Fibrosa Open
Pseudoaneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa is a rare but serious sequela of endocarditis or valve replacement surgery. Because open-heart surgery is a high-risk treatment option, alternative methods are sought. We present th…
