Percutaneous AVF closure was performed post TAVI in a patient with severe aortic stenosis and an AVF between the right SFA and femoral vein.

Methods: 76 patients who underwent TAVI using Edwards Sapien 3 prosthesis were included, comparing electrocardiographic registries at admission, post-procedure and before discharge.
Results: Patients after TAVI presented a longer PR interval, a wider QRS, and a longer corrected QT, with a left deviation of QRS axis and T waves; reversible changes that tended to correct in the following days after TAVI.

Aims: To analyse systematic isolated post-dilatation of the side branch as a part of provisional stent technique.
Methods: 1960 angioplasties performed in two centres were prospectively registered, of which 382 were coronary bifurcations with a side branch>2mm. In centre A, isolated post-dilatation of the side branch was performed regardless its impairment after main vessel stenting.
Poisoning by ingestion of 'Jamaican Stone', a kind of cardioactive steroid, is extremely rare. However, mortality is very high. For this reason, when it occurs, an early and accurate diagnosis represents a critical challenge for clinicians.

Methods:: Transthoracic echocardiograms were performed in 352 consecutive patients with myocardial infarction, after the first 48 hours of admission and before hospital discharge (median 56.
Introduction And Objectives: Controversy persists regarding the role of sequential atrioventricular pacing in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and disabling symptoms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of pacing on symptoms, dynamic gradient, and left ventricular function in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Methods: From 1991 to 2009, dual-chamber pacemakers were implanted in 82 patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and disabling symptoms despite optimal medical therapy.

Article Synopsis
- The study looked at two different ways to treat patients with heart attacks using a technique called primary PCI, focusing on which artery should be treated first.
- It found that both methods (ipsilateral and contralateral approaches) led to the same recovery times and results, but different approaches were preferred based on which artery was affected.
- Overall, having more knowledge about a patient's heart can help doctors decide the best treatment plan, and the contralateral approach might be the better choice for many patients.
