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..

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..
