INTRODUÇÃO: A abordagem de sÃncope em pacientes com doença de Chagas (DC) e distúrbios da condução intraventricular (DCI) representa um desafio. Embora o estudo eletrofisiológico (EEF) seja uma ferramenta diagnóstica nessa situação, a evidência para sua utilização necessita elucidações. E...
BACKGROUND The need for permanent pacemaker implantation (PPMI) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVR) is a serious complication that adds additional risk for the patient. It also lengthens the hospitalization and increases costs. Unknown is the PPMI rate of the new balloon expandable Myval...
OBJECTIVES: The authors sought to evaluate the incidence, predictors, and outcomes of new permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with contemporary self-expanding valves (SEV).
BACKGROUND: Need for PPI is frequent post-TAVR, but conflicting data exist on...
ABSTRACT: We present a case of a young man with complete atrioventricular block and aneurysm of the right sinus of Valsalva penetrating the interventricular septum and causing severe aortic regurgitation. Chest trauma and inflammatory or infectious diseases are potential causes. Bentall-de Bono surgical ...
