Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is one of the cornerstones of cardiac imaging in inpatient and intra-operative settings. TEE is considered a safe procedure, but it may result in serious complications, such as esophageal injury, vocal cord paralysis, arrhythmia, hypotension, seizure, and cardiac arrest. Herein, we discuss one of the rare complications, esophageal perforation, and a conservative approach to managing the patient in a 64-year-old female who underwent a TEE prior to a scheduled valvular surgery.

Background: Protruding coronary artery stents can adversely affect transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure. Current evidence on the topic is limited.
Aims: We aim to study the clinical feasibility and safety of flaring of protruding coronary artery stents before TAVR to reduce interaction with transcatheter heart valves.

Purpose: There are limited reports on the potential link between Lp(a) and ARDM. Thus, we examined the relationship between Lp(a) and ARDM among hypertensive patients.
Methods: We used echocardiography to measure ARDM in 513 consecutively hospitalized patients.

No method of evaluating transthoracic echocardiograms (TTE) image quality (IQ) has been validated. Furthermore, structural echo lab elements impacting IQ are unknown. We sought to develop and validate a TTE IQ grading tool and determine patient and echo lab features associated with IQ.

Introduction: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is one of the most prevalent forms of glomerulonephritis worldwide, particularly affecting 40-50% of the East Asian population. Cardiovascular mortality represents a leading cause of death in patients with IgAN. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) serves as a predictor of heart failure and cardiovascular mortality.
