Article Abstract
This technical article describes modified wire atrial septostomy for thickened atrial septum in detail. Radiofrequency energy facilitated a thin wire-loop in tearing the septum between 2 atrial septal defects to combine the defects into a large one. We believe that this transcatheter procedure is easier and safer than the original one not using a radiofrequency wire energy.

One of the major issues encountered in patients undergoing evaluation for Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is the risk of Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. LVOT obstruction is a catastrophic complication of TMVR, the result of displacement of the anterior mitral valve leaflet (AML) toward the interventricular septum. Several strategies to mitigate the risk of LVOT obstruction have been described and include percutaneous laceration of the anterior mitral leaflet (LAMPOON), alcohol septal ablation, trans-atrial leaflet modification (SITRAL) and Balloon Assisted Translocation of Mitral Anterior leaflet to prevent LVOT obstruction (BATMAN).

Infectious catheter-related right atrial thrombus (CRAT) is a potentially fatal but often underestimated contingency associated with central venous catheter (CVC) in patients on hemodialysis. Management guidelines for CRAT are lacking, and its occurrence poses clinical challenges. Here, we describe the case of an infectious CRAT in a young patient on hemodialysis with peculiar clinical complications and perform a literature review.

Right bundle branch block can occasionally occur when a guide wire or catheter is inserted into the heart. An 83-year-old woman with preexisting left bundle branch block (LBBB) was diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) and severe mitral regurgitation (MR). The patient was started on amiodarone (100 mg/day) and bisoprolol (1.

A 78-year-old female presented with a history of left atrial myxoma resection 12 years before presentation. The initial surgery involved a median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass for tumor excision. Sternal closure was achieved using six titanium wires, with the lowermost wire noted to be slightly elevated from the sternum immediately post-operation.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how effective percutaneous right atrial puncture and tunneled cuffed catheter insertion are for hemodialysis patients with superior vena cava occlusion (SVCO), and to explore options for patients with limited vascular access.
- Methods involved enrolling SVCO patients and allowing them to choose between catheterization or establishing peripheral arteriovenous (AV) access, followed by specific procedures to restore vascular access based on imaging guidance.
- Results showed that 45 patients participated, with 21 receiving catheters and 24 receiving AV access, and the researchers tracked demographic info, clinical outcomes, and complications related to each intervention.
