A Novel Dual Latex Balloon Catheter for Temporarily Closing Acute Postinfarction Ventricle Septum Defect (VSD) in a Pig Model.

Acute postinfarction ventricular septum defect has a persistently high mortality rate due to unstable scars in the acute phase, which make surgery or occluder use unsuitable. Delayed closure increases the risk of irreversible hemodynamic deterioration. To address this, a dual latex balloon catheter was designed for temporary closure and tested in a pig model.

Acute Myocardial Infarction Followed by Cerebral Hemorrhagic Infarction in Polycythemia Vera: Case Report and Literature Review.

A 60-year-old man presented to our emergency room with severe chest pain. Based on the electrocardiogram and elevated serum troponin T levels, acute coronary syndrome was suspected. Coronary angiography revealed total occlusion of the middle of the left anterior descending coronary artery.
