Article Synopsis
  • Hemopericardium is a serious complication that can occur during balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV), particularly following transseptal access, with a 2.0% incidence rate observed in this study of 29 patients.
  • The study found that most patients (89.6%) were able to complete BMV after a second transseptal puncture, achieving acceptable hemodynamics in 84.6% of cases.
  • However, 20.7% of patients required emergency surgery due to complications, and the in-hospital mortality rate was 6.9%, indicating that while BMV can be safe in selected patients, careful monitoring and management are crucial.

Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a neoplastic disorder of myeloid cell lines and is a less aggressive disease compared to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although cardiovascular complications are not uncommon, intracardiac thrombosis in CML is rarely reported. Herein, we report a case of CML presenting with an intracardiac thrombus attached to the posterior mitral leaflet, and subsequently resulting in peripheral embolization.

Budd-Chiari syndrome is a rare disease characterized by obstruction of outflow in the hepatic vein and/or the inferior vena cava (IVC). Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stent placement is nowadays considered to be the first-line treatment for central venous disease because of its minimal-invasive approach. IVC reconstruction by surgical approach is not preferred due to increased morbidity and disappointing patency rates.

Multifocal and bilateral involvement of the arch vessels is a common presentation of Takayasu's arteritis. Endovascular stenting of multiple supra aortic lesions in Takayasu's arteritis has been described scarcely in literature. We describe the management of a case of Takayasu's arteritis who presented with recurrent vertebro-basilar symptoms and a single surviving arch vessel.

Arteriovenous malformations arising from iliac arteries are rare anomalies. Percutaneous embolization of such malformations is an established therapeutic option. In this paper, we will describe a case, wherein the internal iliac artery feeding a giant arteriovenous fistula was closed using a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) duct occluder percutaneously.
