TL;DR: A 65-year-old man was admitted to his local hospital with troponin-positive acute coronary syndrome and the patient developed signs of acute heart failure and was immediately transferred to the authors' center.
Abstract: A 65-year-old man was admitted to his local hospital with troponin-positive acute coronary syndrome. The patient developed signs of acute heart failure and was immediately transferred to our center.
Echocardiography demonstrated a pericardial mass (8×5 cm) with compression of the right atrium (Figure 1 and online-only Data Supplement Movie I) and a reduced contractility of the posterior left ventricular wall. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a pericardial hematoma that was incompressible, not vascularized, and impinging on the right atrium (Figure 2 and online-only Data Supplement Movie II).

TL;DR: In this prospective, international, multicenter PRECISE registry, the use of the Premere™ PFO closure device for closure of PFO after stroke or TIA resulted in good clinical results with no recurrent event.
Abstract: Background
The Premere™ PFO closure device has a special design for closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) including a flexible distance and angulation between the right and left disc providing minimal septal distortion. The primary objective of the study was to determine the degree of risk for stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) in patients after Premere™ PFO closure device implantation.

TL;DR: Left ventricular aneurysmectomy significantly improved the clinical status and hemodynamic parameters of symptomatic patients and the Dor procedure is more suitable for restoring normal left ventricular geometry in patients with extensive septal infarction.
Abstract: When a left ventricular aneurysm leads to pulmonary congestive symptoms, aneurysmectomy may provide relief. This retrospective study included 269 patients who underwent aneurysmectomy between 1993 and 2002, by the classic Cooley operation in 164 and by Dor ventriculoplasty in 105. There were no significant differences in early and late survival between groups, although the frequency of extended anteroseptal infarction was higher in patients undergoing the Dor procedure. Postoperative echocardiographic findings showed significant improvements in left ventricular function in both groups, in terms of end-diastolic and end-systolic dimensions and ejection fraction. Left ventricular aneurysmectomy significantly improved the clinical status and hemodynamic parameters of symptomatic patients. The choice of surgical technique depends on the extent of the scar segment, especially the presence of an anteroseptal scarred area. The Dor procedure is more suitable for restoring normal left ventricular geometry in patients with extensive septal infarction.
