Management of pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect with major aorto-pulmonary collateral arteries, and hypoplastic native pulmonary arteries focuses on growth of the native pulmonary arteries. One strategy to grow the native pulmonary arteries is through pulmonary valve perforation followed by right ventricular outflow tract stenting, if suitable. We present a unique case of retrograde pulmonary valve perforation and stenting of the right ventricular outflow tract through a major aorto-pulmonary collateral artery.

Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion/pulmonary arterial systolic pressure ratio as a predictor of outcome in acute heart failure.
Tunis Med

Unlabelled: Introduction Acute heart failure (AHF) is a life-threatening condition that requires swift diagnosis and tailored management to enhance patient outcomes. In the pursuit of more precise prognostic indicators, Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (TAPSE) and Pulmonary Arterial Systolic Pressure (PASP) have emerged as potential significant advancements. The TAPSE/PASP ratio, a novel parameter, has recently gained attention as a promising predictor of outcomes in acute heart failure.

Background: Repair of the regurgitant bicuspid aortic valve is an attractive alternative to valve replacement. Although good long-term outcomes have been reported, postoperative aortic stenosis remains a major late cause of repair failure in bicuspid aortic valves. Sinus plication is effective for creating a more symmetrical commissural angle, leading to a decrease in the mean transvalvular pressure gradient.

Department of Internal Medicine, Collage of Medicine and Health Science, Debre Markos University, Debre Markos, Ethiopia.
Background: In developing countries evidences regarding pulmonary hypertension (PH) in rheumatic heart disease (RHD) patients are lacking, despite being responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. As a result, identifying the factors that influence PH is crucial to improve the quality of care.
Objective: To determine prevalence of pulmonary hypertension and its associated factors among rheumatic heart disease patients at the public hospitals of Bahir Dar city, Ethiopia.
Radiation exposure during cardiac interventions in CHD: German Registry 2012-2020.
Thorac Cardiovasc Surg
January 2025
Pediatric Cardiology, University Hospital Tuebingen, Tubingen, Germany.
Background: Since patients with congenital heart defects (CHD) frequently require life-long medical care and repeat invasive treatment, radiation exposure during interventional procedures is a relevant issue concerning potential radiation related risks. Therefore, an analysis on radiation data from the German Registry for Cardiac Operations and Interventions in patients with CHD was performed.
Methods: From January 2012 until December 2020 a total of 28,374 cardiac catheter interventions were recorded.
Transcatheter mitral valve repair with MitraClip® enabling single lung transplantation: A case report.
Heliyon
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, CHU Mont-Godinne UCL Namur, Yvoir, Belgium.
Post-capillary hypertension resulting from mitral regurgitation is typically considered a contraindication for single lung transplantation due to heightened risks of primary graft dysfunction. This case report highlights a 66-year-old COPD patient with severe mitral regurgitation who was deemed ineligible for surgical mitral replacement. As an alternative, transcatheter mitral valve replacement was successfully performed, resulting in the normalization of pulmonary artery pressures.
