Abstract
Cardiac memory (CM), also called Chatterjee phenomenon, is characterised by transient negative T-waves during sinus rhythm on the surface electrocardiogram (ECG). This phenomenon reflects a change in ventricular activation repolarisation induced by prolonged abnormal electrical activation (e.g., cardiac pacing). We report a case [...] Read more.
Cardiac memory (CM), also called Chatterjee phenomenon, is characterised by transient negative T-waves during sinus rhythm on the surface electrocardiogram (ECG). This phenomenon reflects a change in ventricular activation repolarisation induced by prolonged abnormal electrical activation (e.g., cardiac pacing). We report a case of a 28-year old patient with repolarisation abnormalities due to CM in response to idiopathic left fascicular ventricular tachycardia (IFLVT). Full article

Objective: To analyse our single centre experience with sheathless guiding catheters (GC) for complex percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Background: Failure of performing transradial approach (TRA) increases with the sheath size used, especially in cases of small and tortuous radial arteries. The use of recently developed sheathless GC may facilitate performance of TRA for complex PCI requiring large-lumen GC. Methods and results: We retrospectively analysed 20 consecutive patients who underwent complex PCI performed by TRA with a Sheathless Eaucath® GC (Asahi Intecc, Japan). The patients mean age was 68.9 ± 11.3 years. Indications for PCI were ST elevated myocardial infarction in 2 patients (10%), acute coronary syndrome in 4 (20%), and chronic stable angina in 14 (70%). Right TRA was used in all but one case. The 7.5-French (F) sheathless GC was used in all the procedures. Radial and brachial arteries crossing was possible in all cases with no associated procedural or GC-related complications. The number of vessels treated per patient was 1.30 ± 0.47 with 1.70 ± 0.92 stents implanted per vessel. The left main stem was the treated lesion in 9 patients (45%), 5 patients (25%) had complex bifurcation lesions and one (5%) had chronic total occlusion. The remaining 5 patients (25%) had severely tortuous and/or calcified coronary lesions. Rotablation was required in 2 procedures. Mean fluoroscopic time was 20.3 ± 7.5 min and mean volume of contrast media was 254 ± 83 ml. Conclusion: This preliminary experience in complex PCI, suggests that TRA using 7.5-F sheathless GC might be an attractive alternative to transfemoral access using 7-F conventional. Full article

Catheter-based aortic valve replacement: an interdisciplinary intervention Transcatheter aortic valve intervention (TAVI) is visibly establishing itself as a valid alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement, particularly in high-risk patients. In view of the patient population and the complexity of the intervention, the latter requires close cooperation between cardiologist and cardiac surgeon, ideally in a hybrid operating theatre permanently equipped for angiography. This report illustrates how a real, credible cardiac team is built up and what advantages a properly functioning heart team offers. Full article
