    Abstract Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) is used for lead infection, lead debulking, venous recanalization and device upgrades. Lead extraction is performed using specialized tools including locking stylets, mechanical or rotating sheaths, femoral snares or laser sheaths. The most feared complications associated with lead extraction are bleeding, vascular tear, cardiac avulsion and tamponade. Despite technological progress, the incidence of major procedural complications including death remains slightly above 1%. This case depicts an asymptomatic left common carotid artery (LCCA) to left innominate vein arteriovenous fistula (AVF) after laser-assisted TLE successfully treated with an endovascular covered stent.

    Abstract Sarcoidosis and systemic sclerosis are two inflammatory multisystemic disorders of unknown etiology that may be life-threatening especially when there is cardiac involvement. Both diseases may coexist, however, there are very few case reports of patients with both cardiac sarcoidosis and systemic sclerosis in the literature. We report the case of a 72-year-old female who was initially referred for dyspnea. A chest computed tomography scan showed multiple hilar and mediastinal adenopathy with a non-specific opacity in the middle pulmonary lobe. FDG-PET-scan showed increased FDG uptake in the adenopathy, the middle lobe and the right ventricular free wall. Sarcoidosis was confirmed with a lung biopsy. Both electrocardiogram and echocardiogram were normal. Four months later, the patient developed a high-grade atrioventricular block deemed secondary to her cardiac sarcoidosis. Two years later, the patient was referred to a rheumatologist for severe Raynaud's symptoms, sclerodactyly and acrocyanosis. After thorough investigations, a diagnosis of limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis with systemic and cardiac sarcoidosis was made. This case demonstrates that both cardiac sarcoidosis and systemic sclerosis may coexist. In the literature, either disease may come first. In cases where cardiac symptoms appear after the diagnosis of concomitant sarcoidosis and systemic sclerosis, it might be difficult for clinicians to confirm which disease is responsible for the heart involvement. This is important since early cardiac sarcoidosis treatment should be done to prevent major complications and may well differ from systemic sclerosis treatment. In this review, we discuss the main clinical manifestations and imaging findings seen with cardiac disease secondary to sarcoidosis and systemic sclerosis.

    Abstract Background: Toxic dilated cardiomyopathy (T-DCM) due to substance abuse is now recognized as a potential cause of severe left ventricular dysfunction. The burden of ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and the role of a prophylactic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) are not well documented in this population. We aim to assess the usefulness of ICD implantation in a T-DCM cohort.
    Methods: Patients younger than 65 years with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 35% followed at a tertiary center heart failure (HF) clinic between January 2003 and August 2019 were screened for inclusion. The diagnosis of T-DCM was confirmed after excluding other etiologies, and substance abuse was established according to the DSM-5 criteria. The composite primary endpoints were arrhythmic syncope, sudden cardiac death (SCD), or death of unknown cause. The secondary endpoints were the occurrence of sustained VA and/or appropriate therapies in ICD carriers.
    Results: Thirty-eight patients were identified, and an ICD was implanted in 19 (50%) of these patients, only one for secondary prevention. The primary outcome was similar between the two groups (ICD vs. non-ICD; p = 1.00). After a mean follow-up of 33 ± 36 months, only two VA episodes were reported in the ICD group. Three patients received inappropriate ICD therapies. One ICD implantation was complicated with cardiac tamponade. Twenty-three patients (61%) had an LVEF ≥35% at 12 months.
    Conclusion: VA are infrequent in the T-DCM population. The prophylactic ICD benefit was not observed in our cohort. The ideal timing for potential prophylactic ICD implantation in this population needs further studies.

    Abstract Background: Diaphragmatic hernia is frequent among the elderly and is usually associated with mild chronic digestive and respiratory symptoms.
    Case presentation: An elderly post-esophagectomy male patient, in the early postoperative period of cardiac surgery, presented with acute respiratory distress. An emergent surgery was performed to reduce a giant diaphragmatic herniation.
    Conclusions: An acute transhiatal herniation can cause serious respiratory impairment; surgical repair should be considered in select patients of cardiac surgery.

    Abstract Exposure to synthetic drugs such as amphetamines may lead to significant consequences on the cardiovascular system. The prognosis of young adults with amphetamine-induced cardiomyopathy remains poor. We present 2 young patients (aged <40 years) who developed severe dilated cardiomyopathy after chronic amphetamine use. Thorough psychological evaluations demonstrated favorable features with patients being reliable and committed to their health problems. A left ventricular assist device (HeartMate II; Abbott, Chicago, IL) was implanted in the patients shortly after admission to optimize hemodynamic support and evaluate the potential for recovery. Within less than 1 year, significant improvement was achieved and successful explantation of left ventricular assist device was performed in both patients.

    Abstract The deleterious effect of energy drinks is increasingly recognized. We present a 26-year-old woman with inotrope-dependent severe dilated cardiomyopathy, potentially caused by chronic ingestion of energy drinks. The results of extensive investigation-consisting of cardiac magnetic resonance, F-18-fluorodesoxyglucose-positron emission tomography, coronary angiography, and endomyocardial biopsy-were normal. A left ventricular assist device (LVAD) was implanted as a potential bridge to recovery. After 10 months of mechanical support and pharmacological treatment, cardiac function was recovered, and the LVAD was successfully explanted. This is the first case report of energy drink abuse leading to severe heart failure requiring mechanical support for recovery.

    Abstract Background: Severe mitral regurgitation (MR) can occur following myocardial infarction (MI) with either partial or complete papillary muscle rupture (pPMR or cPMR). Although the incidence of this complication has significantly decreased, it is still associated with significant mortality. We sought to evaluate the different echocardiographic and clinical presentations of pPMR and cPMR.
    Methods and results: A review of all the urgent procedures for ischemic MR between January 2000 and June 2016 was performed to identify patients who underwent surgery for PMR. Surgical protocols and echocardiographic studies were used to identify patients with cPMR and pPMR. A total of 37 patients had cardiac surgery for PMR (18 cPMR, 19 pPMR). All patients with cPMR were in cardiogenic shock at the time of diagnosis, as opposed to only 53% of patients with pPMR (P = 0.0008). Between the time of diagnosis and surgery, 7 patients with pPMR developed cardiogenic shock. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) led to the diagnosis in 72% of cPMR and 32% of pPMR (P = 0.02). TEE had a yield of 100% for both cPMR and pPMR. Six pathologic varieties of post-MI PMR were recognized on echocardiography and during surgery. Early postoperative, 1 (72% vs 84%), 3 (67% vs 84%), and 5 years (67% vs 74%) survival rates were similar for cPMR and pPMR (P = 0.26).
    Conclusions: Partial PMR is associated with a different clinical and echocardiographic presentation than cPMR. Still, most pPMR patients progress toward cardiogenic shock. Prompt diagnosis and referral for surgery are critical and could potentially decrease mortality.

    Abstract Background: Patients with liver cirrhosis are generally considered ineligible for isolated cardiac transplantation or left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. The aim of this retrospective study is to explore the diagnostic value of abdominal ultrasound, computed tomography scan (CT scan) and liver-spleen scintigraphy to detect the presence of cirrhosis in patients with advanced heart failure.
    Methods: Among 567 consecutive patients who underwent pre-transplantation or LVAD evaluation, 54 had a liver biopsy to rule out cardiac cirrhosis; we compared the biopsy results with the imaging investigations.
    Results: In about 26% (n = 14) of patients undergoing liver biopsy, histopathological evaluation identified cirrhosis. The respective sensitivity of abdominal ultrasound, CT scan and liver-spleen scintigraphy to detect cirrhosis was 57% [29-82], 50% [16-84], and 25% [3-65]. The specificity was 80% [64-91], 89% [72-98], and 44% [20-70], respectively.
    Conclusion: Ultrasonography has the best-combined sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of cirrhosis. However, more than a third of patients with cirrhosis will go undiagnosed by conventional imaging. As liver biopsy is associated with a low rate of complication, it should be considered in patients with a high-risk of cirrhosis or with evidence of portal hypertension to assess their eligibility for heart transplantation or LVAD implantation.
