[Percutaneous correction of structural congenital heart diseases during the early puerperium. Experience of a center].

Objetive: Congenital heart diseases (CHD) can be found in pregnant women. Although cardiac interventions in the catheterization laboratory are considered safe and effective, it is preferable to wait 3-6 months after delivery to correct simple, uncomplicated CHD; however, this may result in follow-up losses. The objective is to present our experience in correcting CHD during the early puerperium (EP).

[Frailty and adverse outcomes in patients over 65 years old with acute coronary syndrome in a hospital cohort in Medellin, Colombia].

Objective: Several studies have demonstrated an association between frailty and worse outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS); however, there is a lack of evidence from Colombia. This study aims to evaluate the association between frailty and the risk of adverse outcomes in patients over 65 years old diagnosed with ACS.

Materials And Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted, including patients over 65 years old who underwent coronary angiography due to an ACS diagnosis at a hospital in Medellín, Colombia.

Coronary Artery Embolism and Myocardial Infarction, case report.

Coronary embolism (CE) is a rare cause of non-atherosclerotic acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The clinical presentation is similar to ACS, and the diagnosis is supported by Shibata criteria. Atrial fibrillation is the main reported etiology in CE cases.

Atrial Fusocellular Sarcoma: An Uncommon Presentation.

• Cardiac tumors are rare but not uncommon. • There is no definitive treatment available for spindle cell sarcoma. • TTE (or TEE) is usually the initial imaging modality for these tumors.

An Unusual Cause of Right Heart Dysfunction and High Output Heart Failure in a Young Woman.

A 35-year-old female presented to our emergency department with clinical signs of acute heart failure. Clinical workup identified severe right heart (RH) dilation and dysfunction with a crossing membrane structure in the right atrium. Right heart catheterization confirmed high output heart failure (HOHF), pulmonary hypertension (PH), and left-to-right blood shunting followed by the documentation of multiple liver and pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).

[Pasteurella multocida bacteremia associated with contact with a domestic animal: Case report].

Pasteurella species are known to be one of the most frequently isolated in oral microbiota of domestic and wild animals, because of that, they are associated with skin and soft tissues infections secondary to bites and scratches. Systemic infections are uncommon, but are associated with dissemination from localized infections and some risks factors related to immunosuppression. We report a case of Pasteurella multocida bacteremia in an 88 years old patient, associated with food sharing with his dog; a bacteremia mechanism never described before in the medical literature.
