The authors report three cases of myocardial infarction in which an attempt at intra-coronary fibrinolysis in the acute phase was either transiently effective or totally ineffective. In these three cases, percutaneous endoluminal dilatation was possible allowing restoration of correct coronary flow. The place of percutaneous angioplasty is therefore discussed either immediately after fibrinolysis, when the risk of re-thrombosis appears to be greatest or perhaps in the absence of an attempt at clot lysis, when fibrinolytic treatment is contra-indicated.

Transfemoral aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an effective way to treat severe aortic valve stenosis, especially in patients who are high-risk for surgery. Dislocation of an endoluminal aortic bifurcation stent graft during TAVR is an extremely rare complication. We present a case on how management of this complication was successfully done.

3DStent is a novel rotational angiography imaging capable of 3D reconstruction and measuring stent area and diameter, without need for intravascular imaging. To compare 3DStent and OCT-derived stent area and diameter after PCI. Patients with de novo coronary lesions who underwent treatment with a single DES and evaluated by OCT and 3DStent were included.

Fetal surgery presents distinctive anesthetic challenges due to the need to balance maternal and fetal safety. This retrospective study evaluates the anesthetic management strategies used at a single center for various fetal interventions, including fetoscopic laser photocoagulation, fetal endoluminal tracheal occlusion, bipolar cord coagulation, and fetoscopic spina bifida repair. We reviewed 195 fetal procedures performed between 2019 and 2023 at Rabin Medical Center.

Article Synopsis
- Atrio-oesophageal fistula is a rare but serious complication that can occur after catheter ablation, prompting the need for alternative, less invasive treatment methods for covered oesophageal perforations.
- A 66-year-old man experienced thermal damage during a catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, leading to a covered perforation that was managed with endoscopic clips, resulting in successful healing without invasive surgery.
- The case emphasizes the value of timely diagnosis and treatment, advocating for less invasive approaches to support tissue repair while ensuring careful monitoring to rule out other cardiac complications.
