Progression of ascending aortopathy may not occur after transcatheter aortic valve replacement in severe bicuspid aortic stenosis
Ji-Hyun Jung, Hyung-Kwan Kim, Jun-Bean Park, Seung-Pyo Lee, Bon-Kwon Koo, Yong-Jin Kim, Hyo-Soo Kim, Dae-Won Sohn
Korean J Intern Med. 2021;36(2):332-341. Published online August 14, 2019
Background/Aims: We evaluated changes in the ascending aorta dimension post-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in bicuspid aortic valve (BiAV) and tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) patients.
Methods: Patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVR at Seoul National University Hospital we..

Expanding transcatheter aortic valve replacement into uncharted indications
Guson Kang, Juyong Brian Kim
Korean J Intern Med. 2018;33(3):474-482. Published online March 20, 2018
Since the first-in-man transcatheter delivery of an aortic valve prosthesis in 2002, the landscape of aortic stenosis therapeutics has shifted dramatically. While initially restricted to non-surgical cases, progressive advances in transcatheter aortic valve replacement and our understanding of its s..

Isolated dilatation of the inferior vena cava
Jae-Joon Kim, Kyoung-Im Cho, Ji-Hoon Kang, Ja-Jun Goo, Kyoung-Nyoun Kim, Ja-Young Lee, Seong-Man Kim
Korean J Intern Med. 2014;29(2):241-245. Published online February 27, 2014
The diameter and collapsibility of the inferior vena cava (IVC) should be interpreted in consideration with other clinical and echocardiographic parameters before drawing definitive diagnostic conclusions. We report a case of a 46-year-old female with isolated IVC dilation and diminished inspiratory..

Echocardiography in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation and Mitral Valve Clip
Robert J. Siegel, Huai Luo
Korean J Intern Med. 2012;27(3):245-261. Published online September 1, 2012
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation and transcatheter mitral valve repair (MitraClip) procedures have been performed worldwide. In this paper, we review the use of two-dimensional and three-dimensional transesophageal echo for guiding transcatheter aortic valve replacement and mitral valve re..

Transcatheter Arterial Embolization as Treatment for a Life-Threatening Retroperitoneal Hemorrhage Complicating Heparin Therapy
Sang-Ho Park, Se-Whan Lee, Ung Jeon, Min-Hyeok Jeon, Seung-Jin Lee, Won-Yong Shin, Dong-Kyu Jin
Korean J Intern Med. 2011;26(3):352-355. Published online September 13, 2011
Spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage is a distinct clinical entity that can present in the absence of specific underlying pathology or trauma and is typically associated with anticoagulation therapy. We report a case of a 74-year-old female patient with a cerebral infarction related to atrial f..

Tachycardiomyopathy Induced by Ventricular Premature Complexes: Complete Recovery after Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation
Kyoung-Hoon Rhee, Ju-Young Jung, Kyoung-Suk Rhee, Hyun-Sook Kim, Jei-Keon Chae, Won-Ho Kim, Jae-Ki Ko
Korean J Intern Med. 2006;21(3):213-217. Published online September 30, 2006
Ventricular premature complexes (VPCs) are known to be one of the most benign cardiac arrhythmias when they occur in structurally normal hearts. We experienced a 32-year old man who presented with dyspnea, palpitations and very frequent VPCs (31% of the total heart beats). Echocardiography reveal..

Transluminal Removal of a Fractured and Embolized Indwelling Central Venous Catheter in the Pulmonary Artery
O Kil Kim, Su Hong Kim, Jong Bin Kim, Woo Seong Jeon, Sung Hwan Jo, Jee Hyun Lee, Ji Ho Ko
Korean J Intern Med. 2006;21(3):187-190. Published online September 30, 2006
Vascular catheters are associated with complications such as infection, thrombosis and stenosis. The embolization of a venous catheter fragment is a rare complication. A 39-year-old woman underwent placement of a totally implantable venous access device for chemotherapy to treat a recurrent lipos..
