    Abstract Intra-aortic balloon pump is an invasive procedure used in critically unwell population and carries risks of possible complications. The most common complications include thrombocytopenia and fever, occurring approximately 50 and 36% of the time. Rare complications include vascular tears, limb ischemia, occurring approximately 1-2% of the time and balloon rupture and/or entrapment approximately 0.5% of the time. Current literature suggests the most common etiology of entrapment is due to balloon rupture and the formation of clot within the balloon causing difficulty in removal. Herein, we demonstrate a case series of intra-aortic balloon pump entrapment without balloon rupture.

    Abstract Aortic valve replacement has long been the standard of care for many aortic valve diseases. Neo sinus reconstruction and aortic valve reconstruction with native pericardium, known as the Ozaki procedure, is a relatively new technique with early studies showing good mid-term durability and hemodynamics without the need for life-long anticoagulation. We present the case of a 56-year-old male presenting with aortic valve endocarditis and severe aortic insufficiency who underwent successful aortic valve reconstruction via the Ozaki procedure complicated by postpericardiotomy syndrome and cardiac tamponade. Although the Ozaki procedure is a promising alternative to conventional aortic valve replacement, further study is needed to determine long-term re-operation rates, stability and mortality.

    Abstract Background: Echocardiography has been a popular modality used to aid in the diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE) with the modified Duke criteria. We evaluated the necessity between the uses of either a transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) or transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in patients with a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 25 kg/m(2) and less than 25 kg/m(2).
    Methods: A single-centered, retrospective study of 198 patients between 2005 and 2012 diagnosed with IE based on modified Duke criteria. Patients, required to be above age 18, had undergone an echocardiogram study and had blood cultures to be included in the study.
    Results: Among 198 patients, two echocardiographic groups were evaluated as 158 patients obtained a TTE, 143 obtained a TEE, and 103 overlapped with TEE and TTE. Out of these patients, 167 patients were included in the study as 109 (65%) were discovered to have native valve vegetations on TEE and 58 (35%) with TTE. TTE findings were compared with TEE results for true negatives and positives to isolate valvular vegetations. Overall sensitivity of TTE was calculated to be 67% with a specificity of 93%. Patients were further divided into two groups with the first group having a BMI ≥25 kg/m(2) and the subsequent group with a BMI <25 kg/m(2). Patients with a BMI ≥25 kg/m(2) who underwent a TTE study had a sensitivity and specificity of 54 and 92%, respectively. On the contrary, patients with a BMI < 25 kg/m(2) had a TTE sensitivity and specificity of 78 and 95%, respectively.
    Conclusions: Patients with a BMI <25 kg/m(2) and a negative TTE should refrain from further diagnostic studies, with TEE strong clinical judgment is warranted. Patients with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m(2) may proceed directly to TEE as the initial study, possibly avoiding an additional study with a TTE.

    Abstract Recreational use of alkaloid free-base cocaine, also known as crack cocaine, has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. Inhalation of crack cocaine is known to cause a variety of pulmonary complications. Herein we present a case of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) and particulate foreign matter deposition in the setting of crack cocaine inhalation.

    Abstract Right heart failure (RHF) has been overlooked as left heart failure has predominated. One of the many causes of RHF is partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC), an extremely rare entity in nature. Physicians should consider the unusual causes of RHF after ruling out the common causes.
