... foramen ovale is a rare clinical phenomenon. In a patient with pulmonary artery embolism, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed a trans-atrial septal impending paradoxical embolism. This prompted us to consider: What is the nature of this cardiac lesion, and why is it embedded in the patent...

..., and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. It has not been conclusively established whether and to what extent pulmonary embolism (PE) affects health-related quality of life (HrQoL). We aimed to assess the long-term independent association of PE with HrQoL to provide reference...

... Journals Publication Model ( https://dbpia.nl.go.kr/pages/standard-publication-reuse-rights ) Abstract OBJECTIVES The left medial basal pulmonary segment (S7) has been largely overlooked in surgical literature due to the common belief that it is typically absent. This study aimed to determine...

...) to describe PS-analysis indices in patients undergoing pulmonary valve replacement (PVR). Methods Sixty-four pediatric patients with rTOF (12.4 ± 5.2 years) and 58 age-matched healthy children (12.8 ± 3.7 years) were prospectively included. We calculated PS-magnitude (global PS: GPS) and -angle, indexed...

... - including pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), posterior wall ablation, and ablation for scar-related atrial flutter - were mapped using both the VLCC and Octaray catheter. The key findings include: (1) standard voltage thresholds for high-density catheters overestimate voltage in scarred and ablated tissue when...

... to investigate the impact of left pulmonary artery stenting on outcomes after Fontan procedure in patients with single ventricle physiology. Methods Patients who underwent staged Fontan palliation between 1994 and 2023 were reviewed. The records of patients who had left pulmonary artery stents implanted were...

... We present the case of an 81-year-old patient, who was transferred to our department for diagnostic work-up and treatment of hemoptysis of the right lung. Two-phase contrast-enhanced chest CT revealed filling defects in right upper lobe and middle lobe pulmonary artery during the pulmonary-artery...
