COVID-19 Infection in Heart Transplantation: Case Reports
Resumo O desafio imposto ao sistema de sa úde pela pandemia da COVID-19 faz com que haja uma necessidade de readequações de rotinas e serviços de saúde, com os objetivos de controlar a disseminação do vírus e preservar a saúde. Torna-se ainda mais importante o manejo seguro e correto dos pacientes dos grupos de risco, como os pacie ntes idosos, os portadores de doenças cardiovasculares e os pacientes com câncer. Dessa forma, a cardio-oncologia ganha novo dimensionamento, no intuito de se adequar às necessidades dos pacientes diante de uma pandemia, reestruturando o sistema de atendimento de forma a oferecer qua...

Saphenous Vein Graft Stenosis
Conclusion AIP and AC were independent predictors of SVG stenosis. Moreover, both AIP and AC have better performance in predicting SVG stenosis than LDL-C, HDL-C and non-HDL-C. (Arq Bras Cardiol. 2020; 115(3):538-544) (Source: Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia)

The Cold Season Begins in the Tropics. Cryoablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Brazil
Conclusion Cryoablation for electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins is a safe and effective method for the treatment of AF. Our results are consistent with other studies suggesting that this technology can be used as an initial technique even in cases of persistent AF. (Source: Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia)

Transseptal, Transcatheter Mitral Valve-In-Valve Replacement: Ready for Prime Time Treatment of Bioprosthetic Valve Failure in Brazil?
Conclusion The first Brazilian experience with transseptal-TMVIV shows the safety and effectivity of the new technique. The LVOT obstruction is a potentially fatal complication, reinforcing the importance of patients ’ selection and of procedural planning.

Plexiform Lesions in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Are we Getting Closer to Manage with More Patience and Rigor?
Conclusion The MCT model was able to generate moderate-severe pulmonary arteriopathy associated with secondary right ventricular hypertrophy. The 37-day survival rate was 50%. To our knowledge, this study was the first to note the presence of complex vascular lesions, similar to those observed in patients with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension, in an isolated MCT model.
