Atrial electromechanical coupling parameters after transcatheter aortic valve replacement
The article entitled Effect of transcatheter aortic valve replacement on P-wave duration, P-wave dispersion and left atrial size by Dursun, et al.[1] has contributed to our knowledge regarding the positive effects of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure on atrial electrical remodeling. In this study, TAVR procedure led to a decrease on P-wave duration and P-wave dispersion.
Abstract This case report describes spontaneous thrombosis of a congenital coronary artery fistula with associated aneurysmal dilatation of the right coronary sinus of Valsalva. The grossly dilated sinus of Valsalva was reconstructed with a Dacron patch. Coronary revascularization was performed with a sequential saphenous vein graft anastomosed to the right posterior descending and posterior ventricular arteries distally and to the aorta proximally.
