    Abstract Atrial septal defects (ASDs) measuring <38 mm are referred for transcatheter closure. Availability of larger devices up to 46 mm extended the inclusion criteria. An elderly hypertensive male with a 44 mm secundum ASD and coexistent sick sinus syndrome and atrioventricular (AV) nodal block presented with syncope. Balloon interrogation unmasked restrictive left ventricular (LV) physiology. After AV synchronous pacing, balloon-assisted deployment of a custom fenestrated 48 mm Figulla septal occluder (Occlutech Inc., Schaffhausen, Switzerland) prevented a rise of LV end-diastolic pressures beyond 12 mmHg. Echocardiogram and computed tomography after 4 years confirmed a patent fenestration and favorable remodeling. This report of the clinical use of the largest ASD device demonstrated the feasibility of closure of extremely large defects despite a restrictive LV.

    Abstract Surgical myectomy is recommended for symptomatic hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) after optimal pharmacological therapy. Percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA) is reserved for high-risk adults. Symptomatic patients below 25 years underwent either surgery or PTSMA after heart-team discussion and informed consent. Echocardiography assessed gradients in surgical group. PTSMA group underwent invasive transseptal hemodynamic assessment, selective coronary angiography and super-selective cannulation of septal perforators using microcatheters. Contrast echocardiography through the microcatheter identified the myocardial target for PTSMA. Hemodynamic and electrocardiographic monitoring guided alcohol injection. Both groups were continued on beta-blockers. Symptoms, echocardiographic gradients and Brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) measurements were assessed on follow-up. Twelve patients aged 5-23 years (11-98 kg) formed the study group. Indications for PTSMA in 8 patients included abnormal mitral valve anatomy warranting replacement (n = 3), Jehovah's witness (n = 2), severe neurodevelopmental and growth retardation (n = 1) and refusal of surgery (n = 2). PTSMA targeted first perforator (n = 5), second perforator (n = 2) and anomalous septal artery from left main trunk (n = 1). Outflow gradient reduced from 92.5 ± 19.7 to 33.1 ± 13.5 mmHg. At a median follow-up of 38 months (range 3-120 weeks), the peak instantaneous echocardiographic gradient was 32 ± 16.5 mmHg. Gradient reduced in four surgical patients from 86.5 ± 16.3 mmHg to 42 ± 14.7 mm Hg. All patients were in NYHA class I/II on follow-up. The mean NTproBNP in PTSMA group reduced from 6084 ± 3628 pg/ml to 3081 ± 2019 pg/ml; it was 1396 and 1795 pg/ml in surgery. PTSMA may be considered in medically refractory high-risk young patients. It relieves symptoms and reduces gradient. Though surgery is preferred in young patients, PTSMA may have a role in selected patients.

    Abstract Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare acquired form of hypophosphatemia that can be cured when the tumor responsible is completely removed. These tumors can be small and located in anatomically challenging areas, rendering surgery both risky and extensive. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been explored as an effective treatment option for such tumors. We present a case of a 35-year-old man exhibiting clinical and biochemical features consistent with TIO. The culprit lesion was not detectable on the whole-body computed tomography (CT) scan. Gallium (Ga-68) DOTANOC positron emission tomography (PET)/CT showed increased uptake in the left acetabulum and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the location of the tumor. Given the risky anatomical location, we opted for less-invasive RFA. Following an unsuccessful attempt at CT-guided RFA of the lesion, we used real-time Ga-68 DOTANOC PET/CT guidance for precise imaging during the ablation procedure. Our patient achieved complete remission both clinically and biochemically after RFA. This response was also evident by the absence of tracer uptake in follow-up imaging. In conclusion, DOTANOC PET/CT-guided RFA can serve as a safe and effective treatment for patients with tumors causing TIO. This modality proves valuable when surgical resection is not a viable option.
