Ablation of atrial flutter in a patient with a tricuspid valve replacement after endocarditis.

30 Aug 2009 Myocardial scars from heart surgery are a source of tachycardia, eventually causing late morbidity and sudden death. In general, catheter ablation has been shown to be an effective therapy for various rhythm disorders, but it has been rarely ... Read more...

Autologous pericardium patch aneurysm after ventricular septal defect closure and arterial switch operation.

29 Jun 2009 A neonate with L-transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect underwent complete repair using fresh autologous pericardium to close the ventricular septal defect as well as to reconstruct the neo pulmonary artery sinuses. Four ... Read more...

Incidence, risk factors, and outcome of traumatic tricuspid regurgitation after percutaneous ventricular lead removal.

7 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVES: This study sought to evaluate the incidence, risk factors, and outcome of traumatic tricuspid regurgitation (TTR) induced by percutaneous removal of chronically implanted transvenous leads. BACKGROUND: Although lead removal using modern ... Read more...
