Trans?aortic mitral isthmus ablation after surgical patch closure for an atrial septal defect

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Methods and Results This case report discusses a 65-year-old man who had previously undergone pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and cavo-tricuspid isthmus ablation for atrial fibrillation before ASD closure, respectively. He developed atrial tachycardia (AT) and underwent catheter ablation.

Artificial intelligence-enabled phenotyping of patients with severe aortic stenosis: on the recovery of extra-aortic valve cardiac damage after transcatheter aortic valve replacement

Open Heart

Objective A novel artificial intelligence-based phenotyping approach to stratify patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) prior to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been proposed, based on echocardiographic and haemodynamic data. ±15.8 ±15.1 mm Hg, p value: 0.0079).

Mild Tricuspid Regurgitation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

This is the schematic diagram of the heart in which you can see right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle, aorta and pulmonary artery. Unlike the valves on the left side like the mitral and aortic, right sided valves can have some leak. Similarly, another right sided valve is the pulmonary valve.

Norwood Procedure for Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Transcript of video: Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome is a very severe form of congenital heart disease, in which, the left ventricle, aorta and mitral and aortic valves are hypoplastic and valves may be atretic as well. A Gore-Tex tube is used and this maintains, this is a Blalock-Taussig shunt, which maintains pulmonary circulation.

This is the aortic valve in closed position and mitral valve also appears to be closed in position. From the images you do not know whether the mitral valve is really fully closed or almost about to be closed. You can also see the aortic override. Separation between the attachments of the aortic and mitral valve.

Systematic review of cardiovascular neurocristopathy—contemporary insights and future perspectives

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Cardiovascular neurocristopathy, i.e., cardiopathy and vasculopathy, associated with the NCC could occur in the form of (1) cardiac septation disorders, mainly the aortico-pulmonary septum; (2) great vessels and vascular disorders; (3) myocardial dysfunction; and (4) a combination of all three phenotypes.

Retrograde access of the left atrium for catheter ablation in atrial fibrillation using robotic magnetic navigation: a case series

HeartRhythm

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation for which the left atrium (LA) is usually accessed by the antegrade femoral venous route and transseptal puncture. However, in rare cases, alternative routes must be used to overcome anatomical challenges (congenital or acquired).
