We present a case highlighting the diagnostic challenges of identifying a ruptured right coronary sinus of Valsalva aneurysm in a patient with nonsyndromic aortopathy. Timely assessment with transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography is vital for prompt diagnosis and successful treatment. Genetic panel testing should be offered to probands and first-degree family members.

Patients with anomalous coronary artery origins (AOCA) exhibit a higher risk of atherosclerosis, where even minimal stenosis may lead to adverse cardiovascular events. However, the factors contributing to this heightened risk in AOCA patients remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether an AOCA patient is more prone to stenosis occurrence and its progression in view of hemodynamics.

Background: Current treatments for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), including medication, surgery, and alcohol septal ablation (ASA), have limitations in terms of efficacy and safety. To address these challenges, we developed the trans-coronary intra-septal radiofrequency ablation (TIRA) device.
Methods: This first-in-human trial was conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of the TIRA device.

Background: When conventional trans-venous CS lead placement fails, trans-septal endocardial left ventricle lead placement is an alternative technique used to capture the left ventricle endocardially; however, its use is limited due to a lack of evidence, practice uptake, and clinical trials.
Methods: In this single-center cohort study, we evaluated the efficiency of the procedure, post-procedural complication rate, rate of thromboembolic events, overall survival rate, and changes in the echocardiographic parameters, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level, and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class, both before and after TSLV lead implantation.
Results: The TSLV lead implant is safe and improves EF, LVEDV, LVESV, and LVIDd.

Background: Conduction disturbances are a frequent occurrence after tricuspid valve surgeries, and their management is challenging.
Case Presentation: We present a case of 16-year-old male patient who presented with episodes of presyncope. At the age of 7 years, he underwent tricuspid valve replacement surgery with a biological prosthesis for infective endocarditis sourced from a gluteal abscess.
