Esophageal ulcers secondary to cryoenergy after pulmonary vein ablation using the second-generation balloon.

Pulmonary vein isolation is an effective treatment for patients with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Cryoablation balloon therapy has been developed as an alternative. Cryoablation complications have primarily been related to phrenic nerve palsy, vascular complications, stroke, and others of lesser incidence.

[Impact of rotational coronary angiography in the amount of iodinated contrast and the exposure to ionising radiations in patients undergoing invasive coronary procedures: A systematic review and meta-analysis].

Background: Invasive coronary procedures involve the administration of iodinated contrast and the exposure to ionising radiations, increasing morbidity and mortality. The rotational coronary angiography (RCA) allows acquiring multiple projections with a unique injection of iodinated contrast. To date, there are no meta-analyses specifically comparing RCA and conventional coronary angiography (CCA) in patients undergoing invasive coronary procedures, whether diagnostic or diagnostic and therapeutic.

Debut of an unusual liver cirrhosis.

Secondary or metastatic cardiac tumors are about 20-40 times more common than primary benign or malignant cardiac tumors. Cardiac metastases are more frequent in carcinomas, they usually appear in patients over 50 years and the involvement by gender is similar. Any tumor can cause cardiac or pericardial metastasis, although isolated or combined tumor invasion of the pericardium is more common.

Infective endocarditis in patients with oncological diseases.

Introduction: Cancer patients may constitute a special risk group for the development of infective endocarditis (IE) because they are often subjected to invasive procedures. The aim of this study is to determine the differential clinical profile and prognosis of patients with IE and cancer.

Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted on all patients consecutively diagnosed with IE in a single centre between 2005 and 2015.

Cardiac Relapse of Acute Myeloid Leukemia after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Secondary or metastatic cardiac tumors are much more common than primary benign or malignant cardiac tumors. Any tumor can cause myocardial or pericardial metastasis, although isolated or combined tumor invasion of the pericardium is more common. Types of neoplasia with the highest rates of cardiac or pericardial involvement are melanoma, lung cancer, and breast and mediastinal carcinomas.

Absence of left circumflex with superdominant right coronary artery.

Congenital anomalies of coronary arteries are a group of diseases that are infrequently found. Their prevalence has been reported from 0.6% to 1.
