Left ventricular outflow tract pseudoaneurysm is rare but serious complication after aortic valve replacement and may occur secondarily to endocarditis, suture dehiscence, or morphologic changes at the aortic annulus. We present a case of successful percutaneous closure of a left ventricular outflow tract pseudoaneurysm using various cardiovascular imaging modalities.

Complications of transvenous lead extraction-focus on tricuspid valve damage: a case report.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
January 2025
1st Department of Arrhythmia, National Institute of Cardiology, 42 Alpejska Street, 04-628 Warsaw, Poland.
Background: Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) has become an essential component of lead management strategies, but it carries the risk of severe complications, including damage to the tricuspid valve. Currently, there are no established predictors that can help prevent these complications.
Case Summary: An 84-year-old male with a dual-chamber pacemaker was admitted to the hospital due to a pocket fistula resulting from a local infection.
Aortic valve repair with sinus plication for a regurgitant bicuspid aortic valve: a case report.

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.

Eur J Heart Fail

Jesselson Integrated Heart Centre, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel.
Aims: To evaluate the association between transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) and outcomes in patients with significant mitral regurgitation (MR) following acute myocardial infarction (MI), focusing on the aetiology of acute post-MI MR in high-risk surgical patients.
Methods And Results: The International Registry of MitraClip in Acute Mitral Regurgitation following Acute Myocardial Infarction (IREMMI) includes 187 patients with severe MR post-MI managed with TEER. Of these, 176 were included in the analysis, 23 (13%) patients had acute papillary muscle rupture (PMR) and 153 (87%) acute secondary MR.
Transcatheter closure of paravalvular leakage through multiple approaches after surgical mechanical valve replacements: A retrospective study.

November 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Xijing Hospital, Air Force Medical University, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China.
Background: Transcatheter closure of percutaneous paravalvular leak (PVL) is a technically challenging procedure, especially after surgical mechanical valve replacements (SMVR), as the risk of interference with the prosthetic valve discs and the complex interventional techniques required for mitral PVL closure. Our study was designed to review the results with transcatheter closure of PVL after SMVR.
Methods: From January 2018 through December 2023, a total of 64 patients with PVL after SMVR underwent transcatheter closure with the help of preoperative 3-dimensional printing model and simulator for image evaluation.
Warfarin-induced gastrointestinal bleeding with acute liver failure: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
November 2024
Department of Pharmacy, The People's Hospital of Hezhou, Hezhou, China.
Rationale: Warfarin is the most commonly used drug in patients with mechanical valve replacement. Acute liver damage after warfarin is rare but potentially harmful. We present a case of warfarin-induced gastrointestinal bleeding with liver injury, pharmacy monitoring, and its therapy.
