Cases in Interventional Cardiovascular Medicine: Read & Share cases

This case report demonstrates, for the first time, the feasibility of mitral TEER with a robotic-assisted approach, using the Abbott MitraClip G4 system, potentially paving the way for future applications in structural heart and endovascular interventions.

A 38-year-old man with class III angina was referred for coronary angiography following a positive myocardial perfusion scan. The angiogram showed functionally occluded PDA as well as significant disease in the proximal, mid, and distal RCA. After wiring and predilating PDA, TIMI-III flow in PDA was...

Observe this TAVI case featuring pulseless electrical activity due to an unforeseen acute occlusion of the right coronary artery, and discover the strategies employed to address and resolve this critical complication.

A 57-year-old man with hypertension and dyslipidemia as cardiovascular risk factors was admitted for stable angina for months. His symptoms were not controlled despite maximal medical treatment (beta-blockers, nitrates, aspirin, statins). Angios revealed multivessel disease. How would you manage this case?

An 88-year-old lady was admitted with resistant pulmonary oedema, a massively calcified aortic valve, renal failure and no transfemoral access option. How would you treat this patient?

Analyze the case of this 78-year-old female patient with diabetes, obesity, HTN and hyperlipidemia, who presented with severe symptomatic AS, severely calcified posterior mitral leaflet, and both mild mitral and tricuspid regurgitations, and tell us how you would treat this woman!

An 80-year-old male presented with severe symptomatic bicuspid aortic valve stenosis and a challenging anatomy for TAVI. Which TAVI device, access site and techniques would you use for treating this patient?

Consider the case of a 67-year-old female patient with schizoaffective disorder and heart failure symptoms, who was diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis with hostile calcified annulus and LVOT, and compare how you would have treated her with how she was actually treated.

A 73-year-old female with hypertension, obesity and dyslipidemia was admitted to our hospital due to progressive dyspnoea during effort and dizziness. At admission, echocardiography revealed aortic valve stenosis with normal LV-Function...

A 73-year-old male patient was referred for treatment of severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis. This case describes the decision-making in performing TAVI with a self-expanding aortic valve in a patient with bicuspid aortic valve stenosis and peripheral arterial disease.
