Hemodynamic Valve Deterioration After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Incidence, Predictors, and Clinical Outcomes
Introduction Since the emergence of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), there have been doubts surrounding the durability of TAVR prostheses, an issue that has become even more imperative after the expansion of TAVR indications to younger and healthier cohorts.1-3 Portraying the durability of TAVR prostheses and comparing the results of relevant studies are hindered by a substantial competitive risk of death resulting in small numbers-at-risk surviving to and beyond medium term,...

Lesson of the month 1: Beware the atypical presentation: eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis presenting as acute coronary syndrome
We describe the case of a 45-year-old woman presenting with troponin positive cardiac-sounding chest pain. An initial emergency angiogram demonstrated two vessel coronary disease, including a distal right coronary artery occlusion. No percutaneous coronary intervention was performed and the patient was treated medically. At re-presentation with further pain a few days later, coronary angiography demonstrated no significant coronary lesions.
