DOI: 10.1007/s11748-022-01812-8
Abstract: Because a mechanical aortic valve is a contraindication for the implantation of left ventricular assist device, complicated additional procedures such as a replacement with a bioprosthesis and a closure of the left ventricular outflow tract… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jce.15467
Abstract: In patients with mechanical valves in the aortic and mitral positions, percutaneous access to the left ventricle (LV) for catheter ablation (CA) of ventricular tachycardia (VT) is challenging. We have recently described a novel percutaneous… read more here.

DOI: 10.14503/thij-17-6215
Abstract: Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, a rare cardiac anomaly, can be life-threatening if it ruptures. Transcatheter closure has emerged as an effective alternative to surgical management; however, it has rarely been reported in patients with previous… read more here.
