[Percutaneous aortic valve replacement using the Direct Flow Medical system: results of the Luxembourg registry].

Percutaneous aortic valve replacement (TAVI) is one of the most innovative procedure in interventional cardiology. The Direct Flow Medical transcatheter aortic valve (DFM) is a new nonmetallic valve which allows perfect repositioning and valve retrieval prior to the final deployment. This study is a prospective non-randomized evaluation of the DFM system in the Luxembourg registry.

Endovascular repair of the left subclavian artery after gunshot wound: an alternative to surgical treatment.

Penetrating injuries of the subclavian artery are associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate. Endovascular treatment with covered stents (stent grafts) has emerged as an effective alternative to surgery, but this new technique is not exempt from complications. We report the case of a male gunshot victim, treated by a covered stent for haemorrhagic shock due to partial subclavian rupture.

[Supraventricular tachycardia in infants].

Supraventricular tachycardia in infants are variable. We try to summarize clinical, electrical and treatment particularities of supraventricular arrhythmia in infants. The majority of infants with supraventricular arrhythmia have a good clinical outcome and an excellent prognosis and may not require chronic antiarrhythmic therapy if they had precocious treatment.
