Anomalous origin of the coronary artery from the opposite sinus of Valsalva (ACAOS) is a rare inborn disease that is characterised by an anomalous course and/or termination of a native coronary vessel.1,2 The traditional definition of ACAOS differentiates between benign and malignant variants. Malignant ACAOS has an interarterial course (IAC) of the anomalous vessel between the pulmonary artery… View more

In the clinical management of patients with complex congenital heart disease (CHD), accurate 3D evaluation of their morphological conditions is critical. 3D imaging should demonstrate the shape and spatial relation of great arteries, proximal branch pulmonary arteries and anomalous pulmonary venous or systemic connections, and eventually coronary artery course. 3D information on extra-cardiac… View more

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common abnormality, occurring in 20–34% of the population.1 In the majority of infants, closure of the foramen ovale occurs soon after birth, as negative intrathoracic pressure associated with the first breaths closes the PFO. In some cases, the primum and secundum atrial septa fail to fuse and closure remains incomplete. There is continuing communication between… View more

Percutaneous revascularisation has become the cornerstone of ischaemic heart disease management.1,2 Historically, coronary angiography and intervention was predominantly performed via the common femoral artery.3 However, this procedure has an associated 1.5–9.0 % risk of complications, most of which are related to bleeding at the femoral access site.4 Despite a significant reduction in the… View more

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with either the balloonexpandable Edwards SAPIEN XT valve (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California), or the self-expandable CoreValve prosthesis (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota) has become the established therapeutic modality for severe aortic valve stenosis in patients who are not deemed suitable for surgical intervention due to excessively high… View more
