Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in the Presence of Left Ventricular Thrombus: Safety and Efficacy.
J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol
April 2016
Introduction: The safety of ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation in patients with laminated left ventricular (LV) thrombus has not been examined.
Methods: Patients with laminated LV thrombus on transthoracic echocardiogram who underwent scar-mediated VT ablation at two centers from 2010 to 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients had failed medical therapy.
Introduction: There is high incidence of SCD in the early period following STEMI. We compared the temporal patterns and predictors of SCD amongst patients with LVEF ≤35% and LVEF >35%.
Methods: Data from STEMI patients was prospectively collected.
Introduction: Intracoronary (IC) papaverine which is one of the commonly used agents for Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) estimation has been reported to cause transient ST elevation in some patients. This phenomenon has not been systematically studied.
Material And Methods: This is a prospective, observational study.
Objective: The objective of this case series is to identify and define causes of failure of Szabo technique in rapid-exchange monorail system for ostial lesions.
Methods And Results: From March 2009 to March 2011, 42 patients with an ostial lesion were treated percutaneously at our institution using Szabo technique in a monorail stent system. All patients received unfractionated heparin during intervention.
Introduction: Scimitar Syndrome is a relatively rare variety of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection in which the right pulmonary veins form an anomalous confluence which drains into the infra-diaphragmatic inferior vena cava. The X-ray chest in these patients shows the typical Scimitar Sign.
Case Report: We are presenting a patient who was diagnosed to have Scimitar Syndrome on the basis of X-ray chest and echocardiography.
