Congenital complete heart block is a rare disease. Pacemaker implantation is indicated in neonates with a heart rate of less than 50 beats per minute. This case report aims to emphasize perioperative management of two cases of congenital complete heart block that underwent pacemaker implantation bed to bed after being delivered by cesarean section. Since these patients are prone to fatal cardiac decompensation and unresponsive to pharmacological therapies, it requires some measures in anesthetic management and good teamwork with other specialties.

Pocket hematoma is a common and serious complication following cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a novel pocket compression device in reducing pocket hematoma occurrence. We enrolled 242 patients undergoing CIED implantation, randomly assigning them to receive either the novel compression vest with a pressure cuff or conventional sandbag compression.

Transcatheter closure (TCC) of certain ventricular septal defect (VSD) subtypes typically requires arteriovenous loop (AVL) formation or retrograde transarterial deployment. Upfront transvenous cannulation from the right ventricle avoids arterial access and loop-related complications. We retrospectively reviewed data of patients who underwent TCC for perimembranous, intraconal, and post-surgical residual VSDs at our institution (January 2019-December 2023).

Previous studies evaluated the prognostic role of hematological parameters in predicting outcome in patients with infective endocarditis (IE). However, only a few studies evaluated the role of hematological parameters in patients undergoing surgery for IE. The aim of this study was to review our 20-year experience with the treatment of native (NVE) and prosthetic (PVE) valve endocarditis and to evaluate the role of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), neutrophil-to-platelet ratio (NPR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), neutrophil-to monocyte ratio (NMR), and systemic inflammatory index (SII) on early and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for NVE and PVE.

: This study aims to examine the success of concomitant surgical ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation after one, three, and five years. Additionally, important predictors for rhythm outcome and rates of permanent pacemaker implantations were analyzed. : In this retrospective study, we included patients who were referred to the University Hospital of Basel, Switzerland, between 2011 and 2017.

A 3-year-old spayed male mixed-breed Labrador presented to the Emergency and Critical Care Unit with lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting, a recent history of presyncopal episodes, and severe exercise intolerance. On admission, the patient had bradycardia, low blood pressure, and mild abdominal pain. Serum biochemistry information revealed severe hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, hypoglycemia, and mildly increased liver and kidney parameters.
