Double ventricular rupture after inferolateral myocardial infarction : a rare m...

An 80-year-old female patient presented to emergency department with cardiogenic shock. In the previous week, she had intermittent episodes of oppressive chest pain. The night before, she had another episode that persisted for several hours. The following afternoon, she collapsed and the prehospital emergency team was triggered. On admission, she was hypotensive (60/30 mm Hg) and needed support with norepinephr...

Quinze anos de ecografia intravascular coronária em intervenção coronária percu...

A ecografia intravascular coronária tem ganhado importância nos laboratórios de hemodinâmica pela evidência de impacto prognóstico positivo para os doentes. Este trabalho tem como objetivo caraterizar a utilização de ecografia intravascular em intervencões coronárias percutâneas em Portugal.

Acquired fistula from left anterior descending artery to coronary sinus : an un...

Comparative analysis of fractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free rat...

Introduction and Objective: Assessment of coronary lesions by the instantaneous wave free ratio (iFR) has generated significant debate. We aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of iFR and its impact on the decision to use fractional flow reserve (FFR) and on procedural characteristics. Methods: In this single-center registry of patients undergoing functional assessment of coronary lesions, FFR was used as ...

Subacute retrograde TAVI migration successfully treated with a valve-in-valve p...

Balloon aortic valvuloplasty in the transcatheter aortic valve implantation era...

Introduction: Percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) has been limited by the risk of complications and restenosis. However, growing use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has revived interest in this technique. We analyzed the current indications for BAV and outcomes in a single center. Methods: Acute results and long-term outcomes were analyzed in a retrospective single-center registry ...

Combined MitraClip implantation and left atrial appendage occlusion using the W...

Introduction: Patients referred for percutaneous transcatheter mitral valve repair using the MitraClip® system frequently have atrial fibrillation, which imposes additional challenges due to the need for oral anticoagulation. Left atrial appendage occlusion is currently regarded as a non-inferior alternative to anticoagulation in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and both high thromboembolic and bl...

Circulating mir-122-5p/mir-133b ratio is a specific early prognostic biomarker ...

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key players in cardiovascular development and disease. However, not only miRNAs of a cardiac origin have a critical role in heart function. Recent studies have demonstrated that miR-122-5p, a hepatic miRNA, increases in the bloodstream during ischemic cardiogenic shock and it is upregulated in the infarcted myocardium. The aim of the present study was to determine the potentia...
