However, the management of aortic valve reintervention after TAVR is not established. In this case report, the authors report a young patient with an early degenerated TAVR valve who underwent TAVR valve explantation and surgical aortic valve replacement with a mechanical valve.

- - Post-COVID conditions (PCC) affect a significant number of COVID-19 survivors, with incidences ranging from 10-30% in non-hospitalized individuals and 50-70% in those hospitalized, leading to a variety of persistent symptoms.
- - A study conducted in Alexandria, Egypt, from June 2022 to February 2023 enrolled 1,546 COVID-19 patients, finding that 49.2% reported PCC symptoms, predominantly shortness of breath, with additional symptoms including mood changes and fatigue.
- - Risk factors for developing PCC included older age, hospitalization during acute COVID-19, pre-existing conditions like asthma and diabetes, as well as certain treatments received during hospitalization.
Objectives: a seaweed commonly known as green macroalgae is a potential source of bioactive compounds utilised in nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals. However, there are no reliable scientific studies that describe harmful consequences, which attest to its safety. Thus, the current investigation focuses on a 14-day acute toxicity assessment of hydroalcoholic extract (HME).

The management of aortic root repair remains controversial. Internal aortic annuloplasty devices provide a standardized aortic valve repair technique to reduce and prevent annular dilation, while the modified Florida sleeve (mFS) procedure is an aortic root remodeling technique that does not require coronary artery reimplantation.
