Abstract
As the treatment of acute myocardial infarction has evolved from conservative management to thrombolysis and, in more recent times, primary angioplasty, the incidence of ventricular rupture, in particular post-infarction ventricular septal defect (VSD), appears to have fallen. In this article we discuss the clinical presentation and investigation of post-infarction VSD, the natural…

Among patients undergoing surgical valve replacement, 1–5 % of patients with an aortic valve replacement (AVR) and 2–12 % with a mitral valve replacement (MVR) may develop paravalvular regurgitation or ‘leak’ (PVL).1–3 In the era of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with first-generation balloon expandable valves, up to 17 % of patients may be left with moderate or severe PVL, also…

The morphology and function of the inter-atrial septum changes dramatically from the period of in utero development until its role in normal adult cardiac physiology is established. Its anatomical construction is complex and involves the eventual formation of a septum secundum, fossa ovalis and septum primum. In utero a mixture of deoxygenated blood from the foetus and oxygenated blood from the…

Over the last three decades numerous transcatheter therapies for the treatment of congenital heart disease (CHD) have been developed.
Interatrial Septal Defect
Balloon atrial septostomy has been performed in patients with transposition physiology and in patients where egress of blood is needed from the left or the right atrium and in adults with pulmonary vascular disease where the creation of…

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is common and occurs in 20–34% of the population.1 In most infants, the foramen ovale closes soon after birth, with a reduction in pulmonary vascular resistance raising the left atrial pressure above that of the right atrium during the first few breaths, closing the septum. In a significant proportion of individuals, the primum and secundum atrial septa do not fuse, and…

Imaging guidance is of major importance for successful outcomes in the interventional treatment of structural, congenital and valvular heart disease. Cardiac transcatheter treatment of these diseases is a rapidly growing field and, as a result, there has been substantial progress in image-guidance technology.
During interventions, the major imaging focus is currently on echocardiography, which…
