Papillary Fibroelastoma of Aortic Valve: An Echocardiographic Correlation With Surgery and Anatomopathology.
JACC Case Rep
December 2024
Department of Cardiology, Valdivia Hospital, School of Medicine Austral University, Valdivia, Chile.
This case presents a 69-year-old woman with a previous history of arterial hypertension. A transthoracic echocardiogram was requested in the context of shortness of breath with great exercise. Incidentally, at the aortic valve level, a mobile mass suggestive of papillary fibroelastoma was visualized.

Objectives: This study aimed to establish standard transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) measurements of left ventricular (LV) morphology, function, and myocardial work parameters in healthy Beagle dogs using pressure-strain loops (PSL). Additionally, it sought to standardize optimal TEE imaging techniques and explore the potiential application of myocardial work analyis in veterinary medicine.
Methods: Thirty-seven healthy male Beagle dogs were anesthetized, intubated, and mechanically ventilated for TEE examinations.
[Efficacy and safety of intracardiac echocardiography-guided "one-stop" procedures combining radiofrequency catheter ablation and left atrial appendage closure in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation].

To assess the efficacy and safety of "one-stop" procedures combining radiofrequency catheter ablation and left atrial appendage closure by guidance of intracardiac echocardiography(ICE) in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients who underwent ICE-guided "one-stop" procedures at the Department of Cardiology, General Hospital of Northern Theater Command between December 2020 and January 2023. Patients were divided into elderly group (age≥60 years old) and non-elderly group (age 18-59 years old).

Background: Historically, percutaneous transcatheter left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has been performed under general anesthesia (GA) with transesophageal echocardiographic images obtained by a noninvasive cardiologist and usually requires an overnight hospital stay. Alternatively, we present our single-center experience performing LAACs under deep sedation (DS), employing an echocardiographic technician instead of a noninvasive cardiologist, and expediting same-day discharge. Mid- to long-term outcomes were also evaluated with follow-up imaging at a 45-day visit.

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is an effective intervention for high-risk patients with severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation (MR), but its acute impact on left ventricular (LV) function has not been well studied using advanced echocardiographic techniques. This study investigated the immediate effects of TEER on LV volumes and functions, as well as their influence on mid-term outcomes, using high-resolution 3D transesophageal echocardiography. In 80 patients undergoing TEER for severe MR (mean age 79±8 years, 49% with primary MR), LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and stroke volume significantly decreased (161±61 to 147±54 ml and 69±18 to 50±15 ml, respectively), while end-systolic volume increased (92±60 to 97±45 ml; p<0.
