چکیده

We describe the case of an 80-year-old female with high grade symptomatic aortic stenosis, slightly impaired left ventricular function, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), arterial hypertension, atrial fibrillation and a past medical history of left-sided breast cancer that was treated by surgery and radiotherapy two years ago (Video 1). The patient was symptomatic for dyspnea (class NYHA III). The logistic Euroscore was 7.94 and the logistic Euroscore II was 1.65%. After cardiac catheterization, which excluded significant coronary artery disease, a minimally invasive sutureless aortic valve replacement (AVR) using a Medtronic 3f Enable valve was planned.

Delayed dislocation of a sutureless aortic bioprosthesis: the first case.

Sutureless aortic bioprosthesis implantation is an alternative technique in high-risk patients undergoing aortic valve replacement with a possible reduction in the extracorporeal circuit time and reliable haemodynamic features. A 3F Enable (ATS Medical-Medtronic, Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) has shown very good results. We report the first upward displacement of 3F Enable three months post impla...

An electrode was placed in the only anterior branch of the coronary sinus (CS) that could be identified, and showed a delay of 40 ms compared with the right ventricular electrogram. The patient’s condition continued to deteriorate (NYHA stage IV; EF 28%) and we opted for implanting an AICD with a new access for resynchronisation. Aft...

A suggested site for the implantation of myocardial pacemakers in infants and young children.

A new site for burying an implantable pacemaker in infants and young children is described. The Medtronic sutureless screw electrode is applied to the diaphragmatic surface of the heart through a transxiphoid approach. The unit is inserted in the abdominal wall between the transversalis fascia and the transversus muscle. The method is simple, taking approximately 30 minutes to complete. It avoi...

A Tricky Percutaneous Paravalvular Leak Closure Two Years After Implantation of 3f Enable Sutureless Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve.

Sutureless valves were designed in an attempt to simplify the aortic valve replacement procedure and reduce extracorporeal circuit time, whilst allowing complete excision of the calcified native valve using a minimally invasive approach. Elderly patients with significant comorbidities are considered to benefit the most, although randomized data are lacking. In registries of patients treated wit...
