Intracardiac thrombus in a patient with mitral bioprosthesis and atrial fibrillation treated with direct oral anticoaugulant: A case report
Rationale: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with increased morbidity, especially stroke and heart failure. There is also increasing awareness that atrial fibrillation is a major cause of embolic events which in 75% of cases are complicated by cerebrovascular accidents. Patient concerns: A 50-year-old woman with mitral bioprosthesis under warfarin for nonvalvular atrial fibrillation was referred to our Coronary Intensive Care Unit due to acute myocardial infarction without evidence of significant coronary artery stenosis. Diagnoses: Cardiovascular examination...

Excellent Outcomes for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Within 1 Year of Opening a Low-Volume Centre and Consideration of Requirements
Conclusions Excellent outcomes can be achieved in newly initiated relatively low-volume centres, which compares favorably to previously published large series. Important considerations include appropriate team training, rigorous patient screening, use of multimodality imaging techniques, a heart team approach, constant integration of lessons learned from larger published experiences, and maintaining a recommended minimum volume of 25 cases per year.
