Abstract:

A 5-year-old female developed aortic erosion without pericardial effusion 2 years after atrial septal defect (ASD) device closure with an Amplatzer Septal Occluder device. A defect between the right atrium and aorta was found, caused by systolic impingement of the device on the aorta. Transcatheter closure of perforation using an Amplatzer Duct Occluder II device was successfully done, avoiding open heart surgery. At the 3-year follow-up, the patient remains asymptomatic with no residual shunt and no other complications.

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended.

Aortic Regurgitation III: Medical Management

Aortic Regurgitation III: Medical Management

Aortic regurgitation (AR) is when the aortic valve does not close or seal properly, leading to backward blood circulation from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole. Common causes of AR include rheumatic heart disease, congenital valve defects, and aortic root dilation. Managing AR requires a multifaceted approach to alleviate symptoms, preserve left ventricular function, and address the underlying cause of the regurgitation. Patients with symptomatic AR or significant left...
