Coronary pseudoaneurysms are a known complication of the Bentall wrap-inclusion method of composite valve grafting. We describe two cases to illustrate a straightforward technique for repair and prevention of coronary pseudoaneurysm formation.

Background: Takayasu arteritis is a large-vessel vasculitis, in addition to giant cell arteritis. Various post-operative complications associated with the cardiac macrovasculature have been reported. Detachment of the prosthetic valve, pseudoaneurysm formation, and dilatation of the aortic root are well-known post-operative complications associated with vasculitis syndromes, including Takayasu arteritis.

Background Combining left atrial appendage closure with catheter ablation (LAACCA) has been proposed as a potential approach to improving outcomes by simultaneously addressing arrhythmia and reducing stroke risk. This study compares the in-hospital outcomes of LAACCA vs. catheter ablation (CA) alone for atrial fibrillation (AFib) in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

We report the case of a 3-year-old asymptomatic girl (12 kg, 96 cm) who was diagnosed with a large iatrogenic left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP) on follow-up ultrasound, 14 months after apical muscular ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure with a 10 mm Amplatzer Muscular VSD occluder (Abbott, USA) due to device erosion. The LVP was successfully occluded using detachable Penumbra coils, with complete thrombo-exclusion confirmed at 12-month follow-up.

Background: Secundum Atrial Septal Defects (ASDs) are the most common type of atrial septal defects. Today, using different types of occluders, transcatheter closure is widely used to treat ASD and has replaced the surgical procedure in anatomically suitable patients. This study was performed to evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes of treatment of adult patients requiring an ASD device closure referred to Shahid Chamran Cardiovascular Center in Isfahan, Iran.

Background: Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP) is a rare but life-threatening condition resulting from acute myocardial infarction, trauma, bacterial infection, or previous cardiac operations. Diagnosis can be challenging as LVPs remain asymptomatic or present with nonspecific clinical symptoms. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent rupture and recurrent septicemia.
