Watch the case of a 79-year-old male patient admitted to hospital with progressive dyspnea in NYHA functional class III-IV and signs of fluid overload, who presented a subannular perforation of LVOT in the region of fibrous aortomitral continuity, and find out how he was treated.

Air embolism (AE) is a rare complication during interventional procedures and one of the most scaring for interventional cardiologists. Air bubbles in the coronary circulation often result in ischemic symptoms, vasospasm, and even cardiac arrest. In addition, arrhythmias are common and closely related to the coronary ...

This is a 44-year old male patient with an aortic root fistula to the right heart after past infective aortic valve endocarditis. Interventional shunt occlusion was successfully performed using a transcatheter closure device.
