We report a case of a complex transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) complicated by severe calcifications, which prevented the delivery system from advancing through the aortic valve. To address this challenge, we employed an innovative solution using a Snare catheter. This approach enabled stabilization and guidance of the delivery system, facilitating the crossing of the calcified obstruction and the successful completion of the procedure.

Background: The aim of the study was to determine national estimates for the percentage of all readmissions with demographic features, length of stay (LOS), cost analysis, comorbidities, complications, overall and gender-specific mortality and complications of transcutaneous tricuspid valve replacement/repair (TTVR) vs. open surgical tricuspid valve replacement/repair (open TVR).
Methods: Data were extrapolated from the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) 2015-19.

Transcutaneous aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has evolved from a complex procedure meant only for patients at prohibitive risk for surgery to a commonly performed procedure across a wide variety of clinical scenarios including the treatment of failed aortic valve bioprosthesis. Annuloplasty rings in the aortic position such as HAART 300 (Biostable Science and Engineering) have been introduced in the management of native aortic regurgitation. Percutaneous management of failed bioprosthesis rings in the aortic position has not been widely described.

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital malformation. We present a case of an elderly patient with ALCAPA presenting with complete heart block and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction years after diagnosis and surgical correction. An 81-year-old female with a history of ALCAPA presented to the emergency department with chest pain and progressive mental deterioration.

Background: Aortic valve stenosis is a common cardiac condition that requires intervention for symptomatic and/or prognostic reasons. The two most common interventions are surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The ratio of TAVI:SAVR has increased twofold over the past few years and is now being considered in intermediate-risk patients as well.
