Subdermal contraceptive implant migration to pulmonary artery branch.
BMJ Case Rep
January 2025
Radiology, University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust, Stoke-on-Trent, UK.
Subdermal contraceptive implants are now commonly used throughout the world. One of the rare complications of these implants is migration to the lungs due to misplacement of the implant during insertion, with only a limited number of cases documented. Here, we present a case where a subdermal contraceptive implant embolised in the subsegmental branch of the pulmonary artery within the anterobasal segment of the left lower lobe.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The results of pulmonary vein isolation are limited by arrhythmia recurrence, which is most often due to a failure to effectuate a durable contiguous circumferential transmural lesion around the pulmonary vein (PV) ostia. We postulated that enhancing the index ablation line through use of multiple cryoballoon diameters would be superior to standard ablation with bonus freeze.
Methods: We enrolled 226 consecutive patients referred for cryoballoon-based PV isolation (PVI).
Systemic venous collaterals between Glenn and Fontan: prevalence, therapy, and impact on outcomes.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate veno-venous collaterals between bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt and total cavopulmonary connection.
Methods: Patients who underwent staged total cavopulmonary connection between 1995 and 2022 were reviewed. Veno-venous collaterals between bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt and total cavopulmonary connection were depicted using angiograms.
'Disappeared balloon': the trap of transseptal puncture for a large closure device of atrial septal defect-a case report.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Changhai Hospital, Shanghai 200433, China.
Background: Several studies have demonstrated a notable increase in the incidence of atrial arrhythmias among individuals with atrial septal defect (ASD) occluder. Although the sequential dilation technique has been proposed as the mainstream technique for transseptal puncture with ASD occluder, it is associated with substantial risks and technical difficulties.
Case Summary: We report a patient who underwent catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation and had a large ASD occluder.
Usefulness of Artificial Pneumothorax during Totally Endoscopic Off-Pump Left Atrial Appendage Closure and Surgical Ablation.
Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg
January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Kobe University, Kobe, Hyogo, Japan.
Purpose: In totally endoscopic off-pump left atrial appendage (LAA) closure and surgical ablation, securing the operative field is sometimes difficult in some patients because of a narrow working space caused by an elevated diaphragm or ventricles. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a method that facilitates securing the operative field using an artificial pneumothorax.
Methods: We analyzed 71 consecutive patients who underwent totally endoscopic off-pump LAA closure and bilateral pulmonary vein isolation.
