Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) may emerge as a surgical alternative for high-risk patients with severe mitral annular calcification (MAC), yet several questions remain to be addressed. We present the case of a 67-year-old high-risk female patient with severe MAC (MAC score = 8) and mitral stenosis (effective orifice area = 121.3 mm).

Background And Aims: Guidelines suggest non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) be conveyed to cardiac arrest centres (CAC). We hypothesised that (a) a pre-hospital conveyance algorithm based on initial presenting rhythm following OHCA is feasible and (b) that would demonstrate survival advantage.
Methods: This observational pilot study included all consecutive patients with OHCA from suspected cardiac aetiology from the county of Essex, United Kingdom from April 2022-April 2023.

The number of atrial catheter ablation procedures has significantly increased in recent years, becoming a first-line treatment modality for various supraventricular tachycardias due to their safety and efficacy. Complications, ranging from mild to life-threatening, can arise during different stages of the procedure, including vascular access complications (eg, hematoma or vascular fistula formation, retroperitoneal bleeding, etc.), thromboembolic complications (eg, stroke, transient ischemic attack, air embolism, etc.

Objective: Seizures are a recognized complication of critical cardiovascular illness in infants and children. We assessed the diagnostic yield of continuous video-electroencephalography (cEEG) in a pediatric and neonatal cardiovascular intensive care unit (CVICU) by the symptoms and risk factors prompting cEEG evaluation.
Methods: This retrospective case series included all consecutive cEEGs in patients ≤21 years old performed in one CVICU over 38 months.

Background: Coronary air embolism is a rare but severe complication of coronary interventions.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a massive air embolism in the right coronary artery during percutaneous coronary intervention, resulting in ventricular fibrillation. The patient was successfully resuscitated with electric defibrillation, leading to full recovery and TIMI 3 coronary flow.
