AI Article Synopsis
- A case report discusses a successful simultaneous transcatheter intervention for an infant with a secundum atrial septal defect and valvular pulmonary stenosis.
- The procedure started with percutaneous transcatheter pulmonary valvuloplasty, followed by the closure of the atrial septal defect, which was done without any complications.
- This suggests that simultaneous transcatheter correction can be an effective treatment option for congenital heart defects in infants.
Article Abstract
Only few reports have described successful simultaneous transcatheter intervention for CHD in infants. We present an infant with secundum atrial septal defect complicated by valvular pulmonary stenosis. Percutaneous transcatheter pulmonary valvuloplasty was performed first, followed by transcatheter closure of the secundum atrial septal defect uneventfully. Simultaneous transcatheter correction is an effective therapeutic option even in infants.

Surgical explantation of an infected Lotus Edge valve: a case report.
Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg Cases
December 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, 564-8565, Japan.
Background: With the rapid expansion of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), TAVR valve explantation is also increasing. Nevertheless, previous reports on Lotus Edge valve explantation are limited to only two reports, none of which include intraoperative videos. Therefore, we report the case of an older adult who underwent a 2-year-old Lotus Edge valve explantation, after developing prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) and aortic annular abscess, with a strong indication for a TAVR explantation and surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR).

Department of Cardiology, Gifu Heart Center, 4-14-4 Yabuta-minami, Gifu-city, Gifu 500-8384, Japan.
Background: Computed tomography (CT) assessment is the standard for predicting coronary obstruction (CO) caused by sinus sequestration (SS) during transcatheter aortic valve (TAV) implantation in degenerated TAV (TAV-in-TAV) procedure, but it may not always be accurate. This report describes a prediction method for CO by using balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) during TAV-in-TAV.
Case Summary: An 87-year-old woman with a history of balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve (BE-THV) implantation 7 years prior was admitted with worsening dyspnoea.
Novel Bail-Out Strategy for Pigtail Catheter Entrapment During TAVI: A Case Report.
Catheter Cardiovasc Interv
January 2025
Cardiovascular Department, Jolimont Hospital, La Louvière, Belgium.
Article Synopsis
- - Device entrapment during Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is a rare but serious issue, particularly with calcified aorta, as shown in a case involving an 86-year-old female patient where a pigtail catheter got stuck.
- - After failed attempts to retrieve the catheter, an innovative solution was implemented by inflating a post-dilation balloon to stabilize the valve while safely extracting the trapped catheter without damage or the need for surgery.
- - The case highlights the need for preventative measures, such as ensuring catheters can move freely and retracting them before fully deploying the valve, to avoid complications in future procedures.
Five-Year Multiple Comparison of Transcatheter Aortic Valves: Insights From the OBSERVANT II study.
Can J Cardiol
November 2024
National Centre for Global Health, Istituto Superiore di Sanità, Rome, Italy.
Background: Head-to-head comparisons of second and third generations of transcatheter heart valves (THVs) are mostly limited to 2-arm studies and to mid-term follow-up. The aim of this study was to simultaneously compare clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with 4 different THVs at 5 years.
Methods: Patients undergoing transfemoral TAVR with 4 second-generation THV platforms and enrolled in the multicentre prospective OBSERVANT II study from December 2016 to September 2018 were compared according to the THV received.
LAVA-ECMO-Supported Dual-Transcatheter Aortic and Mitral Valve-in-Valve Replacement in Cardiogenic Shock.
JACC Case Rep
October 2024
Center for Structural Heart Disease, Henry Ford Health System, Detroit, Michigan, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Mechanical circulatory support for patients with cardiogenic shock due to valvular heart disease is complicated, but the emerging LAVA-ECMO technique offers a solution by providing circulatory support and ventricular unloading.
- A case study describes a patient with severe heart issues who successfully underwent dual-aortic and mitral valve replacement using LAVA-ECMO.
- Careful planning and operator awareness of the ECMO circuit's management are crucial for avoiding complications during these high-risk procedures.*
