Article Abstract
A 60-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and aortic stenosis who had undergone transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) presented with persistent TAVR-associated infective endocarditis (TAVR IE) despite a prolonged antibiotic course. TAVR IE is a rare yet fatal complication, with surgical treatment carrying a high mortality rate, particularly in patients with systolic heart dysfunction. We present a case of successful TAVR explantation with left ventricular assist device insertion in a patient with persistent TAVR IE and refractory congestive heart failure with a left ventricular ejection fraction of 20%.

Arterial esophageal hemorrhage, a relatively rare condition, necessitates prompt therapeutic intervention. The esophageal arteries, originating directly from the aorta and being extremely narrow, are often difficult to identify through angiography alone. We report two cases of arterial esophageal hemorrhage related to esophageal cancer in which the esophageal arteries were identified by contrast-enhanced computed tomography prior to angiography, enabling successful transcatheter arterial embolization.

Aim: To assess the incremental value of real-time three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in visualizing tricuspid valve (TV) anatomy for procedural planning and guidance of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in cases of severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR).
Materials And Methods: An observational study was conducted on 54 patients with severe TR. The visualization of the TV leaflets during systole was graded semiquantitatively using predefined criteria: 0 points-no visible leaflet border or tissue; 1.
Prediction and impact of high burden of ventricular pacing in patients with pacemaker after transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Background: A high burden of right ventricular pacing (RVP) increases the risk of hospitalization because of heart failure. Data on predictive factors for high burden of RVP in patients with permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are limited.
Objective: This study aimed to identify predictors of high RVP burden in patients with current indications for PPI after TAVR.
