Postinfarction ventricular septal rupture (PI-VSR) often presents as cardiogenic shock with newly formed left-to-right communication. In such cases, mechanical circulatory support can provide hemodynamic stabilization during the perioperative period. We report a case where an undiagnosed ventricular septal defect (VSD) was found during PI-VSR closure with a percutaneous circulatory support (pCS) device. This case highlights the importance of echocardiography to exclude multiple shunts. bit.ly/4fsANcl

🌟 Introducing the VesSpiral® Coronary Spiral Balloon Catheter! As a Rapid Exchange PTCA Balloon Catheter with integrated anti-slip & scoring components, it enhances precision and safety in coronary interventions, effectively dilating narrow blood vessels. The VesSpiral® has raised and depressed parts. In the early stage of expansion, the pressure is mainly concentrated on the raised part. When the pressure increases, the depressed part expands outward and flattens the raised part, which relieves the pressure on the blood vessel at the raised part and makes the pressure more balanced, minimizing tissue trauma and reducing the risk of complications.

With more stable pacing parameters, LBBP could present a more feasible pacing option compared to HBP. 👉Read more at: https://brnw.ch/21wLglk

Peripheral vascular access device comparison... "Midline is more economic than the SPC (saving of 39€ over 7 days and 174€ over 14 days), and than the PICC (saving of 102€ over 14 days and 95€ over 21 days)" Meto et al (2024).

The lesions require debulking as they are calcified and irregular. So atherectomy or litholapaxy are feasible options. The major concern in this patient is, however, the clinical status which is relatively mild and the status of the lower limb arteries which are difficult to treat in case of peripheral particulary calcified emboli because of their small lumen and stiffness. Thus, there is zero tolerance for embolization in this case. So we decided to use shockwave litholapaxy instead. After antegrade puncture passage of the 0.014 in gw was only possible by use of a support catheter and cumbersome. We used a 6 mm shockwave catheter which is the largest to pass through a 6 F sheath. Two remaining eccentric segments were additionally dilated by use of a high pressure balloon up to 40 atm. Vessel closure was done by use of a 7 F Femoseal device.
