Rare case of cochlear implant damaged by nearby use of monopolar electrosurgery.

Am J Otolaryngol

December 2024

Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, United States of America. Electronic address:

Objectives: To present a rare case of a cochlear implant (CI) damaged by nearby use of monopolar electrosurgery.

Patient: A 38-year-old man with a right-sided CI reported that his implant had stopped producing sound immediately after his meningioma resection.

Interventions: Right pterional craniotomy with use of monopolar electrosurgery.

Background: Electrosurgery is widely used in all surgical specialities. There is evidence that surgeons in different disciplines and with different experience levels have an inadequate understanding of the basics of electrosurgery and its complications. This can increase the risk of electrosurgical complications.

Redo-TAVI with the SAPIEN 3 valve in degenerated calcified CoreValve/Evolut explants.

Article Synopsis
  • Redo-transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is often needed for failed aortic valves, specifically examining SAPIEN 3 (S3) valves in degenerated CoreValve/Evolut (CV/EV) valves, which is not fully understood.
  • The study assessed the performance of S3 valves following implantation in calcified CV/EV valves through various hydrodynamic tests, measuring factors like mean gradient, effective orifice area, and leaflet behaviors.
  • Results indicated that S3 valves generally performed well, showing decreased mean gradient and acceptable effective orifice area, but issues like underexpansion, leaflet pinwheeling, and calcium protrusion were noted, highlighting the need for further research on long

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the effectiveness and safety of using the "electrified wire" technique for creating fenestrations in various types of aortic stent-grafts to treat complex aortic aneurysms.
  • - Results showed that the Zenith and RelayPro stent-grafts performed significantly better than the Endurant in terms of puncture success and fenestration size post-ballooning.
  • - While some damage such as fraying and tearing occurred across all groups, the Endurant group required additional treatment for stenosis, unlike the RelayPro and Zenith groups which showed no significant issues post-procedure.

Novel Leaflet Modification of the Native Anterior Mitral Valve Leaflet for Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement.

JACC Case Rep

September 2024

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Heart and Vascular Institute, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

Valve-in-mitral annular calcification presents a great challenge with a risk of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO). We demonstrate the first-in-human experience of performing percutaneous electrosurgery-guided perforation and balloon dilation of the anterior mitral valve leaflet followed by transcatheter valve implantation to prevent LVOTO.
