Saviour tool now a foreign body.

Foreign bodies are commonly seen in children, here presenting a case of a male adult with an impacted thumb pin in the left lower lobe bronchus. Extraction required fiber-optic bronchoscopy, failure of which led to thoracotomy with bronchotomy.

Subpulmonary membrane: A rare cause of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Subpulmonary membrane is a rare cause of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction, and only a few case reports exist with or without associated ventricular septal defect. We report a series of three cases with subpulmonary membrane causing RVOT obstruction. Two of these have been operated (the first case operated after unsuccessful attempt at balloon dilatation), and the third case is on follow-up at present.

Case series of coronary artery aneurysms after Everolimus eluting stent implantation and comparison with Sirolimus eluting stents.

Background: Coronary artery aneurysms after drug eluting stents are rare. We present a case series of type II coronary aneurysms after implantation of Everolimus eluting stents including patients developing giant aneurysms with a toxic course.

Case Presentation: Over a span of 3.

Unusual Presentation of a Rapidly Progressive Coronary Artery Pseudoaneurysm after Drug Eluting Stent Placement.

Infected coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The management of infected CAA is unclear and is based on the clinical and imaging features. We report an interesting case of a giant infected right CAA secondary to Pseudomonas aeruginosa within four weeks of a drug eluting stent (DES) implantation.

Early hemodynamic performance of the Trifecta™ surgical bioprosthesis aortic valve in Indian patient population: 12 month outcomes of the EVEREST post-market study.

Background: Indian patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) differ from western populations with respect to aortic annulus size and valve disease morphology. The purpose of this post-market, non-randomized observational study was to evaluate the early hemodynamic performance of the Trifecta™ bioprosthesis (Abbott, previously St. Jude Medical, Minneapolis, US) in an Indian patient population.
