Objective: To evaluate mid-term results with Percutaneous aortic valvuloplasty (PAV).
Material And Methods: Records of 70 patients treated with percutaneous aortic valvuloplasty with at least 6 months follow-up were reviewed.
Results: The 70 patients with PAV aged 3 months to 36 years, mean 10.5 +/- 10.6 years, 40) 63%) were male and 26 (37%) female. Initial systolic peak gradient decreased from 84 +/-20 to 31 +/- 16 mmHg (p < 0.05), while the reduction percentage ranged from 25 to 100%, mean 60 +/- 22. Balloon/aortic annulus index was 0.9 +/- 0.17. Ten (14.1 %) patients developed aortic insufficiency after PAV. Follow-up ranged from 6 to 168 months, mean +/- 48 months. At end of follow-up, 21 patients (30%) were considered failed cases and 49 (70%) patients had a successful outcome.
Conclusions: This study showed a series with the longest follow-up in Latin America with PAV. New prospective and multicentric studies are needed in this region.

Introduction: Elevated central aortic pressure, cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance contribute to high morbidity in relation to end organ dysfunction in obstructive and non-obstructive coronary artery disease (NOCAD) cases despite revascularization. Bisoprolol preempts further progression of left ventricular dysfunction in such cases due to anti-ischemic and anti-hypertensive effects, further extending its evaluation in local Indian settings.
Methods: Post-hoc analyses of NOCAD patients with epicardial stenosis (N=378, 30 to 70% stenosis) from cross-sectional analyses conducted across eighty centers in India.
Percutaneous Closure of Sub-Annular Rupture Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Complicated by Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation.

Aortic annular rupture is a rare and usually fatal complication of TAVR. We report the case of a sub-annular aortic rupture contained in the right ventricle and percutaneously repaired. The procedure was complicated by new-onset severe tricuspid regurgitation related to tricuspid injury during wire externalization and immediately treated by transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.

Cardiogenic shock (CS) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a life-threatening syndrome characterized by systemic hypoperfusion that can quickly progress to multiorgan failure and death. Various devices and configurations of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) exist to support patients, each with unique pathophysiological characteristics. The Intra-aortic balloon pump can improve coronary perfusion, decrease afterload, and indirectly augment cardiac output.

A 58-year-old hypertensive man was admitted with severe central chest pain and palpitation. His electrocardiogram (ECG) showed fast atrial fibrillation with features suggestive of left main coronary artery occlusion. He was taken to the Cath-lab but surprisingly, coronary angiogram (CAG) showed no stenosis.
