Transcatheter Pulmonary Flow Restrictors as a Palliative Bridge to Heart Transplant.
Pediatr Transplant
February 2025
Division of Pediatric Cardiology, Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
Background: In recent years, transcatheter implantation devices to restrict pulmonary arterial flow have emerged as a potential alternative to surgical pulmonary artery banding.
Case Presentation: A term male was diagnosed with critical aortic stenosis (AS) and severely reduced left ventricle (LV) systolic function. He underwent aortic balloon valvuloplasty on day 2 of life, resulting in some antegrade flow, but LV ejection fraction only improved to 15%.
Persistent left superior vena cava with retrograde flow and absent coronary sinus in a child with ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus.

Coronary sinus (CS) defects are rare congenital cardiac anomalies that occur in isolation or with other congenital heart diseases. Persistent left superior vena cava (LSVC) is a relatively common entity that usually drains into the CS, is of no hemodynamic consequence, and is easily diagnosed on echocardiography by a dilated CS and an antegrade flow toward the heart. However, a combination of LSVC and CS defect may reverse its flow direction and CS dilation may be absent.

Pregnancy-related spontaneous coronary artery dissection (P-SCAD) is a life-threatening condition that occurs during or after pregnancy, is rare and can be overlooked. It is one of the most important causes of pregnancy-related acute myocardial infarction. A 25-year-old female patient was admitted with a complaint of chest pain in her 37th week of pregnancy.

Acta Neurochir (Wien)

Department of Neurosurgery, The Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, China.
Background: Superficial temporal artery (STA)-middle cerebral artery (MCA) side-to-side microvascular anastomosis can achieve the same clinical effects as traditional STA-MCA end-to-side anastomosis in extracranial-intracranial revascularization surgery, furthermore, STA-MCA side-to-side anastomosis has the lower risk of postoperative cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) and the potential to recruit all scalp arteries as the donor sources via self-regulation. Therefore, STA-MCA side-to-side microvascular anastomosis seems to be a revascularization strategy superior to traditional STA-MCA end-to-side anastomosis. In this study, we presented seven cases in which a STA-MCA side-to-side microvascular anastomosis was performed with a 4-5 mm long arteriotomy using the in-situ intraluminal suturing technique.

Cardiology department, Habib Thameur teaching hospital, Tunis, Tunisia. Faculty of medicine of Tunis, University of Tunis El Manar.
Introduction: In recent years, advancements in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have been notable, improving procedural techniques, imaging, and management of complications.
Aim: We sought to assess the performance and the practice of a high-volume Tunisian PCI center in treating patients with a CTO.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated data from consecutive CTO patients who underwent percutaneous revascularization from October 2019 to January 2024 at the cardiology department of Habib Thameur Teaching Hospital, Tunisia.
