Adult polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a multi-system genetic disorder characterized by the development and progressive enlargement of fluid-filled cysts in both kidneys, along with other organs. As one of the main causes of kidney failure, ADPKD can progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), with over 50% of affected individuals progressing to ESRD by age 50. The symptoms in ADPKD are variable, with some patients experiencing nonspecific signs, while others present with symptoms related to the mass effect of enlarged kidneys on surrounding structures. This case report highlights an unusual presentation of ADPKD in a patient who developed symptoms of inferior vena cava (IVC) compression. Remarkably, these symptoms improved after bilateral nephrectomies, suggesting that bilateral nephrectomy would provide help in these situations.

Background: The presence of constrictive pericarditis (CP) in conjunction with tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and the worsening of TR following pericardiectomy are associated with a reduction in patient survival. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of tuberculous CP in conjunction with TR, the incidence of worsening regurgitation following pericardiectomy, and the analysis of associated factors.
Methods: Seventy-five consecutive patients who underwent pericardiectomy for tuberculous CP at the institution between January 2021 and December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.

Background: An accurate local activation time (LAT) map is essential during premature ventricular contraction (PVC) ablation. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the use of a novel octaspline multielectrode catheter, with and without the use of a catheter-embedded unipolar reference, improves LAT mapping during PVC ablation compared to a pre-existing pentaspline mapping catheter.
Methods: This study prospectively assessed 10 consecutive patients referred for PVC ablation from January to June 2023.
Superior Vena Cava Stenting Complicated by Perforation and Cardiac Tamponade.

Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is a clinical condition characterized by impaired venous return from the upper body due to intrinsic or extrinsic obstruction of the SVC. Endovascular stenting has become an effective intervention for symptomatic relief. However, the procedure carries a rare risk of life-threatening complications, including SVC perforation and cardiac tamponade.
