An audit of the establishment of a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging service in a public tertiary hospital setting in the Western Cape Province of South Africa.
Pan Afr Med J
December 2024
Department of Radiology, Tygerberg Hospital, Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch, South Africa.
Introduction: cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging is considered the standard of care for many clinical cardiovascular applications. Magnetic resonance imaging is a scarce resource in sub-Saharan Africa, with a paucity of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging clinical services and research. The aim of this audit was to review the cardiac magnetic resonance imaging service provided at a public tertiary hospital in Cape Town, Western Cape Province, South Africa.

Cardiology Department, La Paz University Hospital, Paseo de la Castellana, 261, 28046 Madrid, Spain.
Background: Obstructive complications in the Fontan circulation pose significant risks to affected patients. Traditional management strategies may be insufficient, necessitating innovative treatment approaches. This case report discusses the use of the FlowTriever Retrieval System for percutaneous aspiration thrombectomy in a patient with a history of Fontan procedure who developed conduit obstruction due to thrombus formation.

Echocardiography
January 2025
Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty, Istanbul, Turkey.
Purpose: We presented the experience of a tertiary care center for maternal and fetal diseases and assessed the findings fetuses with double-inlet left ventricle (DILV) regarding fetal echocardiography, prenatal course including fetal growth and death, and postnatal outcome.
Methods: In this retrospective study, patients diagnosed with DILV via prenatal ultrasound in the maternal-fetal medicine department between 2015 and 2023 were included to evaluate important aspects of prenatal diagnosis and course, as well as postnatal management and outcome.
Results: There were 33 DILV cases prenatally diagnosed and postnatally confirmed.
Thoracic Lymphatic Perfusion Patterns Assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Late Fontan Failure.
Diagnostics (Basel)
November 2024
Department of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery and Congenital Heart Disease, Instituto Nacional de Cardiología Ignacio Chávez, Mexico City 14080, Mexico.
Background: Fontan circulation maintains an elevated venous pressure; this promotes venous and lymphatic congestion and may lead to late circuit failure. Our objective was to determine the association between thoracic lymphatic perfusion patterns assessed by magnetic resonance imaging and late Fontan failure.
Methodology: A retrospective study was performed.
Lateral Planar Imaging of Tc-pyrophosphate Scintigraphy in Patients with Suspected Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis.

: Lateral planar Tc-pyrophosphate (PYP) imaging is recommended as a standardized acquisition method because it helps separate extracardiac uptake from the myocardium. We evaluated its discriminatory performance in detecting myocardial PYP uptake, using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) as a reference standard. : We retrospectively evaluated 170 patients who underwent PYP imaging for suspected transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis.
