Leadless pacemaker implantation (AVEIR, Abbott ) in post-surgical superior vena cava stenosis.
Anno:
2025
We present the case of a patient with a history of valvulopathy. In 2016, she underwent aortic valve replacement with a bioprosthetic valve (MitroFlow 21mm). One year later, she required replacement of the previously implanted bioprosthetic valve due to prosthetic endocarditis, with an Edwards Magna 21mm aortic bioprosthesis. She…
COMPLEX RF CATHETER ABLATION OF ATYPICAL MULTI-RECURRENT ATRIAL FLUTTER FOLLOWING PREVIOUS TRANSCATHETER ABLATIONS IN PATIENT WITH TRANSPOSITION OF THE GREAT ARTERIES AND IVSD CORRECTED BY THE SENNING TECHNIQUE AND INTERVENTRICULAR SEPTAL PATCH
Anno:
2025
A 33-year-old male with dextro-transposition of the great arteries and an interventricular septal defect underwent congenital heart surgery using the Senning procedure and patch closure. Consequently, he developed sinus node dysfunction, resulting in bradycardia and a poor response to exercise. Successive medical history has been characterized by multiple episodes…
EMERGING ROLE OF PERCUTANEOUS LEFT STELLATE GANGLION BLOCK FOR THE ACUTE MANAGEMENT OF SUPRAVENTRICULAR ARRHYTHMIAS: A SINGLE CENTER EXPERIENCE
Anno:
2025
Background: The efficacy of percutaneous left stellate ganglion block (PLSGB) for drug-refractory electrical storm is now well established. Instead, its beneficial effect on supraventricular arrhythmias (SVAs), supported by animal models, is still unexplored in humans. We’ve recently started to expand its usage to SVAs.   Methods: We hereby describe our single center experience of…
Brugada type 1 phenotype and cardiac arrest following cocaine abuse
Anno:
2025
Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a hereditary arrhythmic disorder characterized by distinctive electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern, correlated with ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in young adults. While primarily linked to a loss-of-function mutation in the SCN5A gene, acquired forms of the syndrome have been associated with various factors, including drug use. We…
AN ADRENERGIC…CASE
Anno:
2025
Introduction Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is the third leading cause of death in industrialized countries. It has a high mortality rate, with survival at hospital discharge of 2–10%. In 90% of cases, the cause of cardiac arrest is attributable to an acute coronary event, cardiomyopathy, or primary rhythm disorders. Our…
Electroanatomic Activation Mapping of Koch Triangle in AVNRT Patients
Anno:
2025
Introduction Slow pathway ablation is currently the target for AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) with a high success rate of almost 100% and 0.5% to 2% risk of II- to III-degree AV block. Kock triangle (KT) mapping is helpful to define the fast and slow pathway separation, demonstrating the…
Leadless pacemaker implantation in severe tricuspid stenosis on a degenerated bioprosthesis in a patient with very high surgical risk.
Anno:
2025
INTRODUCTION: Leadless pacemakers (LP) have been proven to be an effective pacing option after tricuspid valve intervention. Nevertheless, the optimal pacing modality in patients with a tricuspid valve stenosis is still debated. CASE REPORT: An 86-year-old man with a mechanical aortic valve and a biological tricuspid prosthesis since 2009…
Cardiac memory presenting as ST elevations following Reentrant supraventricular tachycardias
Anno:
2025
Changes in repolarization resulting from a brief period of atypical ventricular activation are called cardiac memory (CM). When this abnormal activation ceases, the repolarization (T wave) vector aligns with the vector of the "abnormally" activated QRS complex. In leads where the prior "abnormal" QRS complex was negative, CM presents…
THE GEOMETRY AND THE MECHANICS OF MITRAL VALVE IN ARRHYTHMOGENIC MITRAL PROLAPSE
Anno:
2025
A case of a 30-yo woman with bileaflets mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and minimal regurgitation is presented. She complained of palpitations and prelipotimic states. She experienced sporadic dizziness, forcing her to sit down to prevent her from falling to the ground. Clinical exam was normal; ECG showed frequent polymorphic…
A pediatric case of calcium release deficiency syndrome
Anno:
2025
Introduction: Calcium release deficiency syndrome, recently identified, is a ryanodinopathy caused by mutations in the Ryr2 gene that result in loss of function of the gene. Clinically, it is associated with the risk of polymorphic VT and sudden death. Arrhythmias are not triggered by physical activity and can occur…
