Abstract:
A 5-month-old girl with transposition of the great arteries, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary stenosis underwent the implantation of a 6-mm M Atrial Flow Regulator (Occlutech) over an 8-French delivery sheath for significant cyanosis and progressive restriction of the atrial septal defect, without adverse event for 6 months. The Atrial Flow Regulator device could improve blood mixing as a bridge to surgery.

2
Mitral Valve Stenosis (MVS) is a heart condition where the mitral valve narrows, impeding blood circulation from the left atrium to the left ventricle. The etiology and pathophysiology of this condition are multifaceted, leading to a cascade of cardiovascular complications.Causes of Mitral Valve StenosisRheumatic Heart Disease: It is the main cause of mitral valve stenosis, particularly in developing nations. This condition arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory illness resulting from...

01:15Aortic Regurgitation I: Introduction
3
IntroductionAortic regurgitation is characterized by the backward flow of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole and arises from the improper closure of the aortic valve. This condition results in left ventricular volume overload and can stem from both acute and chronic etiologies, each contributing uniquely to the disease's progression and symptomatology.Acute and Chronic CausesAcute aortic regurgitation often results from events that suddenly impair the integrity of the...
