Objectives: To report the availability of percutaneous closure for an adult population with interatrial septal defects.
Methods: Observational study with 66 consecutive patients referred to a tertiary center for evaluation of the possibility of percutaneous closure. The patients were selected initially after review of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and finally after heart catheterization.
Results: Out of 66 patients, 50 were selected after the review of TEE and 38 of them were selected after catheterization; all of the 38 were effectively closed.
Conclusion: Percutaneous closure is possible and can be carried out safely in a majority of the adult population with interatrial shunts.

Occluder Device Removal and Total Septation of "Swiss-Cheese" Ventricular Septal Defects.

"Swiss-cheese" ventricular septal defects present complex treatment challenges. Despite difficult defect visualization and closure, complete septation is the treatment of choice. We present the case of a 2-year-old with residual apical "Swiss-cheese" ventricular septal defects after failed percutaneous device closure with 2 occluder devices.

Background: Penetrating cardiac trauma is an entity with high pre and intrahospital mortality due to complications such as cardiac tamponade and massive hemothorax. A ventricular septal defect (VSD) occurs in 1-5% of cases and can present early or late. The management strategy for VSD resulting from penetrating cardiac trauma is uncertain.

Complications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. In-depth understanding of the mechanisms and management options of these complications as well as timely recognition and action can sometimes be lifesaving. In this review we discuss the mechanisms, prevention methods, diagnosis, and management of three major PCI complications: a) perforation b) acute vessel closure, and c) equipment loss.

Background: Post-infarct ventricular septal rupture (PI-VSR) is a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) but has very serious implications. Managing PI-VSR using transcatheter closure (TCC) presents varying challenges depending on the patient's condition. The aim of this study is to present a highly challenging case of multiple VSRs as a complication of AMI.

Background: This research aimed to investigate the clinical features exhibited by individuals diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by ventricular septal rupture (VSR) and to compare the prognostic outcomes of different treatment modalities.
Methods: A retrospective study on a cohort of 200 patients who were diagnosed with AMI complicated by VSR at a specialized medical facility from 2018 to 2023 was conducted. The patients were categorized into 3 different treatment groups: group A received medical management, group B underwent surgical repair, and group C underwent percutaneous device closure.
