Progressive coronary aneurysms in Behçet disease, a journey through surgical and percutaneous treatment: A case report.

Behçet disease is a systemic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation within the vascular tree. Coronary arteries are rarely involved with stenosis, arteritis or aneurysm formation. Treatment is mainly directed to reduce the burden of inflammation systemically with steroid and immunosuppressive medications.

Thrombolytic Therapy as the Management of Mitral Transcatheter Valve-in-Valve Implantation Early Thrombosis.

A 70-year-old male underwent mitral transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation for a failed bioprosthesis implanted 11 years earlier. In the first days following the procedure, he developed thrombosis of the new bioprosthesis with restricted cusp motion. The transmitral mean gradient increased significantly despite effective anticoagulation therapy using unfractionated heparin infusion.
