Background: Achieving a durable mitral line block using radiofrequency as a part of an anatomical approach for ablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation or for treating peri-mitral flutter has always been challenging due to the complex anatomy of the mitral isthmus. Epicardial ablation via the coronary sinus and the vein of Marshall has been proposed to help create durable lesions. Recently, a novel lattice-tip catheter using pulsed field ablation has shown promising results for creating mitral lines, despite limited data.

We report the case of a 62-year-old male on long-term hemodialysis who was admitted to our hospital due to acute cerebral infarction associated with a cardiac calcified amorphous tumor (CAT). The patient presented with recurrent episodes of syncope and retrograde amnesia. Brain MRI identified multiple acute cerebral infarctions, while transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed a 2.

Aims: Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair of the mitral valve (M-TEER) is known for its low complication rates. However, the optimal level and duration of post-procedural care remain unclear. This study aimed to identify the specific timeframe of post-procedural complications following M-TEER.

Background: Interventricular septal dissection is a critical disease characterized by the separation of the intraventricular septum into two layers, forming an intermediate layer with a cystic cavity that communicates with the root of the aorta or ventricle. It has low morbidity and high mortality rates.
Case Presentation: Case 1: A 58-year-old male with a history of hypertension and smoking presented to a local hospital due to chest tightness and pain for 4 days.

Background: The mitroaortic intervalvular fibrosa is an avascular structure near the left ventricular outflow tract, between the mitral and aortic valves. Mitroaortic intervalvular fibrosa complications, such as tamponade, hemopericardium, and abscesses, are rare and often diagnosed postmortem. On the other hand, the COVID-19 pandemic notably impacted pediatric patients with congenital heart diseases, who frequently presented cardiac complications including arrhythmias, elevated troponins, myocarditis, and heart failure.
