Article Abstract

This paper describes a case of patient post-TAVI who developed Left Septal Fascicular Block (LSFB) and Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB). This combination has not been previously reported and must be actively sought out, given the possible increased risk of complete atrioventricular block and sudden cardiac death. RBBB following transcatheter aortic valve replacement is rare and is associated with complete atrioventricular block and permanent pacemaker implantation. LFSB on ECG may be a surrogate maker of diffuse conduction systemic damage following TAVI. Therefore, there should be a low threshold for permanent pacing in patients who develop new RBBB and LSFB post-TAVI.

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with prior malignancy have been largely understudied, despite potentially facing higher risks of adverse outcomes. This case-control study aimed to identify independent risk factors for in-hospital mechanical complications among AMI patients with prior malignancies.

Methods: This study enrolled AMI patients with prior malignancy who were hospitalized for treatment.

: This study aimed to compare the long-term outcomes of a modified réparation à l'étage ventriculaire (REV) and the Rastelli repair for ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary outflow tract obstruction without ventriculoarterial concordance. : The study included 100 consecutive patients who underwent a modified REV ( = 50) or Rastelli repair ( = 50) for transposition of the great arteries, double outlet right ventricle, or double outlet left ventricle with VSD and pulmonary outflow tract obstruction. The mean ages of the patients who underwent the modified REV and Rastelli repair were 2.

Background: Proper risk stratification tools for patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) undergoing septal myectomy are lacking. Our objective was to assess the predictive value of preoperative N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) on perioperative outcomes and late survival in patients with oHCM undergoing transaortic septal myectomy.

Methods: Between 2008 and 2021, 834 patients with preoperative NT-proBNP measurements underwent septal myectomy.
