Abstract

We share a case of unsuccessful use of the SoloPath® balloon-expandable sheath (Onset Medical, a subdivision of Terumo Medical Corporation, Irvine, CA) in a transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement due to kinking in a patient with large diameter iliofemoral access and moderate vessel tortuosity. Subsequently, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this new technology that may further expand the transfemoral option in transcatheter aortic valve replacement, especially with borderline diameter and/or non-circumferential calcification, but we believe that particular caution should be paid in the presence of significant tortuosity.

We report the case of a 76-year-old man who had a dual-chamber pacemaker implanted 17 years before and was initially admitted due to a Campylobacter fetus bacteraemia without any evident source of infection. He was treated by imipenem/cilastatin followed by ciprofloxacin for a total of four weeks. Two months later he presented with high fever, night sweats and a weight loss of 11 kg. Blood cultures showed the presence of Campylobacter fetus. An echocardiogram demonstrated vegetations on the pacemaker probes, not visualised on the ultrasound performed two months before. After extraction of the leads and pacemaker and another four weeks of intravenous antibiotherapy (imipenem/cilastatin and gentamicin), a new system was implanted. The patient regained weight and did not show any recurrence of symptoms at one-year followup. Full article

In this review we describe an unusual case report of familial fibromuscular dysplasia with involvement of coronary arteries which manifested as two distinct types of acute coronary syndrome. This case report allows us the opportunity to discuss the distinct forms of presentation of this rare disease, i.e., when there is an involvement of the coronary arteries, and highlighting pathophysiological, diagnostic and therapeutic issues. It underlines the potential role of genetic predisposition to this condition and discusses the role of vascular screening of the patients with suspected non-atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.

Pathomechanisms underlying atrial fibrillation (AF) are very complex and include various electrical and structural remodelling processes involving focal ectopic activity of atrial cells and reentry mechanisms through atrial tissue. This article reviews basic mechanisms related to AF and gives an update on hypotheses, which are currently thought to provide the most comprehensive concepts. Full article
