Transcatheter aortic valve implantation with a novel pre-packaged self-expandable dry-tissue transcatheter aortic valve: a case report.

Background: Current commercially available transcatheter aortic valves are stored separately in a glutaraldehyde solution and mounted onto the delivery system by a technical expert during the transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedure. A pre-mounted dry-tissue valve that is crimped on a ready-to-use delivery system could simplify the procedure. The Vienna self-expanding transcatheter valve (P&F, GmbH, Wessling, Germany) is a novel ready-to-use pre-mounted dry-tissue transcatheter aortic valve.

Cardiac Amyloidosis, An Infiltrative Heart Disease Presenting as Arrhythmia-A Case Report.

Cardiac amyloidosis is a manifestation of amyloidosis which is a multisystem disorder. This is difficult to diagnose, rare disease which eventually leads to the mortality. Diagnosis requires a high index of clinical suspicion along with echocardiographic clues like, diastolic dysfunction, bi-atrial enlargement and ventricular thickening.

Prinzmetals angina presenting with non critical lesion with normal FFR -to stent or not to stent.

Variant angina also called Prinzmetals angina is an enigma characterized by transient circadian symptoms of chest pain associated with ECG changes. The patient is symptom free with normal ECG and echo during symptom free periods. We present a case associated with transient ST-segment elevation with non critical lesion with normal FFR.
