A challenging transseptal mitral valve in valve case report: Success and safety.

Key Clinical Message: Transcatheter mitral valve implantation (TMVI) is considered a less-invasive approach than open-heart surgery, favored in high-risk patients elected for valve replacement. Although seemingly suitable, this procedure is highly operator-dependent.

Abstract: Transcatheter mitral valve implantation (TMVI) is an alternative in high-risk patients.

Cardiovascular Complications of COVID-19 among Pregnant Women and Their Fetuses: A Systematic Review.

Background: COVID-19 is a viral infectious disease leading to a spectrum of clinical complications, especially cardiovascular. Evidence shows that this infection can potentially accompany a worse outcome in pregnant women. Cardiovascular complications in mothers and their fetuses are reported by previous studies.

The Potential Involvement of SARS-CoV-2 in the Immuno-Pathogenesis of a Type A Aortic Dissection Case.

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may represent different clinical manifestations with different severities, from mild to severe. Even though the respiratory system is the mainly involved organ, numerous reports have mentioned cardiovascular complications in COVID-19. Herein, we report a case of type A aortic dissection in a COVID-19 patient.

A case series of myocardial infarction in SARS-CoV-2-infected patients: Same complication, different outcomes.

Thrombosis is frequently observed in COVID-19, especially in critically ill patients. Management of such life-threatening conditions is of high importance in the context of the current pandemic. Herein, we provide a case series of myocardial infarction in the clinical evolution of COVID-19, emphasizing its importance and implications on the cardiovascular system.

Spontaneous Aortic Dissection Limited to the Sinus of Valsalva: Report of Two Cases.

Dissection of the sinus of Valsalva is a rare and life-threatening event. It often occurs during percutaneous coronary intervention in the right coronary artery (RCA). Dissection flap usually involves the RCA and the right sinus of Valsalva.

Effect of growth hormone deficiency on brain MRI findings among children with growth restrictions.

Objectives: Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a major problem among children with short stature. In this study, the role of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in defining the underlying defects among short children with GHD is evaluated.

Methods: In a cross-sectional study, data of 158 children were evaluated.

Domestic violence against women attending gynecologic outpatient clinics.

Background: Violence against women and threat of violence are some of the main barriers to women's empowerment and equal participation in the society. However, they often go unnoticed and undocumented and therefore unresolved. For women, one of every five years of healthy life lost because of injury, disease, or premature death is attributable to violence.
