Article Synopsis
- Atrioventricular block is a common complication following alcohol septal ablation (ASA) in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, leading to some requiring a permanent pacemaker (PPM).
- In a study involving 1,814 patients using the Euro-ASA registry, 9.4% underwent PPM implantation within 30 days after the procedure, with a follow-up averaging 4 years.
- Long-term outcomes revealed that while survival and functional class were similar between groups, those with PPM had a lower left ventricular outflow gradient and lower likelihood of needing further interventions.
Article Synopsis
- A new risk score called ASA-SCARRE was developed to assess the risk of sudden cardiac arrest in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy after alcohol septal ablation.
- The study analyzed over 1,800 patients and found that independent predictors of sudden cardiac arrest included septum thickness and left ventricular outflow tract gradient.
- The ASA-SCARRE scores ranged from 0 to 2 based on these two factors, providing a simple method to predict long-term risk of cardiac events post-treatment.
Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is characterized with a reversible disorder of left ventricular contractility. At present time, it is established that various factors, both psycho-emotional and clinical, can trigger this disease. Notably, according to current opinions, coronary atherosclerosis may accompany TS and not be its exclusion criteria as it was previously thought.

Material And Methods: The retrospective analysis of EVT in 594 acute stroke patients (303 male, 291 female, median age 69 years) with the anterior circulation large vessel occlusion was performed. EVT was carried out before 6 hrs in 550, later in 44 patients.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the standard treatment for advanced age and high risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. The incidence of life-threatening complications during TAVI has significantly decreased over the last decade due to advanced current surgical experience. However, there is a risk of perioperative life-threatening complications which can require emergency hemodynamic support.

Aim: To assess technical results and close functional outcomes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in patients treated with endovascular thrombecomy (ET) in regional vascular centers (RVC) of St-Petersburg.
Material And Methods: Retrospective analysis of 183 patients with AIS, including 143 patients with AIS due to a large intracranial vessel occlusion in anterior (AC) and 25 patients in posterior cerebral (PC) circulation, 15 with isolated extracranial carotid occlusion treated in 6 RVC in 2017 was performed. All patients underwent ET.
