    Abstract Pulmonary thromboembolic disease continues to be a challenge in terms of diagnosis and management. This is true for both the acute and chronic forms. Clinical presentation can be nonspecific and manifestations protean, hence a high index of clinical suspicion is warranted so that appropriate tests are performed to help clinch the diagnosis. Acute pulmonary embolus can result in death if untreated, and may progress to chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension if not diagnosed or if it is undertreated. This extensive literature review provides an up-to-date evidence-based approach to the management of acute and chronic pulmonary thromboembolic disease.

    Abstract We report on an uncommon cause of epistaxis presenting to the emergency room. Epistaxis is not an uncommon presentation to emergency rooms across the world. The majority are easily controlled and have low mortality. We present a case of a carotid-cavernous fistula presenting with massive epistaxis culmination in cardiovascular collapse and death. Awareness of this entity will reduce the frequency of this condition resulting in major morbidity and mortality.

    Abstract Background and aim of the study: The percutaneous closure of mitral paravalvular leak (PVL) is emerging as an alternative treatment for high-risk surgical candidates. Several cases have been reported, and a few small studies have been conducted to investigate the outcome of the technique. A meta-analysis of the combined data would be considered helpful in deriving more powerful data; hence, the study aim was to conduct a meta-analysis of the percutaneous closure of mitral PVLs, as reported in the medical literature.
    Methods: Searches were conducted of the PubMed, Embase, and CINAHL databases for reports of mitral PVL percutaneous closure. The data were extracted by two reviewers, who aggregated the information by using a random-effects model.
    Results: Eight studies were included in the meta-analysis, with a total of 100 patients. The percutaneous closure of mitral PVLs was associated with a 15% cardiovascular mortality during the first year of follow up. Clinical success was noted in 48% of patients, while 52% failed to show any clinical improvement. Failures were mainly attributed either to deployment failure (18%), to the presence of a persistent leak, to hemolysis, or both (31%). Procedure-related complications (e.g., bleeding, stroke, endocarditis) were observed in 16% of patients.
    Conclusion: The percutaneous closure of mitral PVLs carries a 15% risk of cardiovascular mortality. The reported mortality rates for surgically treated patients ranged from 12% to 37%, but most patients who underwent percutaneous closure were considered high-risk surgical candidates with multiple comorbidities. While percutaneous closure appears promising, the development of lesion-specific occluders, standardized imaging techniques and parameters, and the design of randomized clinical trials to compare the outcome of surgical versus percutaneous intervention, are required before any final judgment may be made.

    Abstract Pericardial disease is a common disorder seen in varying clinical settings, and may be the first manifestation of an underlying systemic disease. In part I, we focused on the current knowledge and management of the more common pericardial diseases: acute pericarditis, pericardial effusion, cardiac tamponade, chronic pericarditis and relapsing pericarditis. In part II, we will focus on the knowledge and management of pericardial involvement in chylous pericardial effusion cholesterol pericarditis, radiation pericarditis, pericardial involvement in systemic inflammatory diseases, autoreactive pericarditis, pericarditis in renal failure, pericardial constriction and effusive constrictive pericarditis.

    Abstract Pericardial disease is a common disorder seen in varying clinical settings and may be the first manifestation of an underlying systemic disease. It may be due to multiple causes. Epidemiologic studies are lacking, and the exact incidence and prevalence are unknown. New diagnostic techniques have improved diagnosis, allowing early diagnosis and management. There are few randomized data to guide physicians in the management of pericardial diseases. Part I of our review focuses on the current state of knowledge and management of the more common pericardial diseases: acute pericarditis, pericardial effusion, cardiac tamponade, chronic pericarditis and relapsing pericarditis.

    Abstract In this set of images obtained during an experimental study using a porcine animal model, we introduce ultrasound guidance of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty and renal stenting. A state-of-the-art intracardiac ultrasound catheter is used here for transvascular scanning from within the lumen of the abdominal aorta, thus providing a field of view for navigation of a balloon catheter and a wire coil ("stent") into each renal artery of a pig. This study is intended as a contribution to the growing field of minimally invasive interventions and their navigation by non-ionizing ultrasound imaging.

    Abstract The differentiation between constrictive pericarditis and restrictive cardiomyopathy can be clinically challenging. Pericardial constriction results from scarring and consequent loss of pericardial elasticity leading to impaired ventricular filling. Restrictive cardiomyopathy is characterized by a nondilated rigid ventricle, severe diastolic dysfunction and restrictive filling producing hemodynamic changes, similar to those in constrictive pericarditis. While constrictive pericarditis is usually curable by surgical treatment, restrictive cardiomyopathy requires medical therapy and in appropriate patients, the definitive treatment is cardiac transplantation. Sufficient differences exist between the two conditions to allow noninvasive differentiation, but no single diagnostic tool can be relied upon to make this distinction. Newer echocardiographic techniques such as speckle-track imaging, velocity vector imaging, as well as cardiac computed tomography and cardiac MRI can help differentiate constriction from restriction with high sensitivity and specificity. Outcomes are better with early diagnosis of constriction in particular and early surgical resection.

    Abstract Background: With the advent of numerous minimally invasive medical procedures, accurate catheter guidance has become imperative. We introduce and test an approach for catheter guidance by ultrasound imaging and pulsed-wave (PW) Doppler.
    Methods: A steerable catheter is fitted with a small piezoelectric crystal at its tip that actively transmits signals driven by a function generator. We call this an active-tip (AT) catheter. In a water tank, we immersed a "target" crystal and a rectangular matrix of four "reference" crystals. Two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound imaging was used for initial guidance and visualization of the catheter shaft, and then PW Doppler mode was used to identify the AT catheter tip and guide it to the simulated target that was also visible in the 2D ultrasound image. Ten guiding trials were performed from random initial positions of the AT catheter, each starting at approximately 8 cm from the target.
    Results: After the ten navigational trials, the average final distance of the catheter tip from the target was 2.4 ± 1.2 mm, and the range of distances from the trials was from a minimum of 1.0 mm to a maximum of 4.5 mm.
    Conclusions: Although early in the development process, these quantitative in vitro results show promise for catheter guidance with ultrasound imaging and tip identification by PW Doppler.
