Percutaneous guidewire ablation via the coronary venous system (CVS) provides a minimally invasive therapeutic option for refractory arrhythmias in this area.Case presentation: Herein, we present the case of a 60-year-old Asian female patient who had a 1-year history of palpitations and was diagnosed with symptomatic, frequent ventricular premature beats (VPBs). The patient exhibited an inadequate response to metoprolol and amiodarone as pharmacological therapy and conventional ablation approaches. Following guidewire ablation via the CVS, the VPBs were eliminated entirely, her palpitations fully resolved, and no procedure-related complications, such as coronary artery injury or thrombosis, were observed. During follow-up, there was no recurrence of VPBs, and left ventricular function remained normal.Conclusion: By employing precise mapping, individualized parameter settings, and strict safety monitoring, percutaneous guidewire ablation via the CVS can effectively treat drug-refractory VPBs originating from the LVS. Importantly, this approach could serve as a complementary option when traditional ablation methods are unsuccessful, offering a feasible therapeutic strategy for complex ventricular arrhythmias.","PeriodicalId":51760,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Cardiology","volume":"2026 ","pages":"1553244"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13358361/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148438812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This case reports a recurrent ventricular fibrillation with Graves' disease that was successfully treated with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator. A 33-year-old woman presented with ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest. She was diagnosed with Graves' disease and was taking antithyroid drugs, but her hyperthyroidism was poorly controlled. The patient received intensive care unit care, including extracorporeal membrane oxygenator, ventilator, and renal replacement therapy. Implantable cardioverter defibrillator was implanted for the secondary prevention of ventricular fibrillation. Two months after the procedure, ventricular fibrillation recurred, and an implantable cardioverter defibrillator successfully prevented sudden cardiac death. She maintained a normal sinus rhythm and normal thyroid function after receiving radioactive iodine-131 therapy. Ventricular fibrillation is a rare but fatal manifestation in patients with hyperthyroidism. Implantable cardioverter defibrillator should be considered, especially in patients with poorly controlled hyperthyroidism, for the prevention of sudden cardiac death.","PeriodicalId":51760,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Cardiology","volume":"2026 ","pages":"6567826"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13311308/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148353963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following improvement in heart failure, he was discharged home independently 2 weeks postprocedure. However, 4 months ago, he experienced worsening heart failure, and echocardiography revealed recurrent severe MR due to single leaflet device attachment (SLDA) at P1, prompting a surgical intervention. Intraoperatively, after establishing cardiopulmonary bypass and inducing cardiac arrest, transseptal access revealed the MitraClip NT︎ firmly adhered to the P1 leaflet and extensive rupture of the A1 chordae. The MitraClip NT︎ and involved leaflet tissue were excised en bloc, the defect was repaired, artificial chordae were implanted, edge-to-edge repair of the AC region was performed, and a prosthetic annuloplasty ring was sutured in place, successfully eliminating regurgitation. Since MitraClip NT︎ becomes encapsulated by fibrous tissue within 2-3 months postimplantation, isolated removal becomes technically difficult in the late phase. Therefore, en bloc resection with the leaflet is necessary in cases of SLDA-related recurrent MR. SLDA involving the posterior mitral leaflet is considered more amenable to mitral valve repair than that involving the anterior mitral leaflet. Patients selected for TEER generally have limited surgical tolerance; thus, minimizing operative and cardiopulmonary bypass times is essential. Surgical approach should be tailored based on leaflet morphology and clip location.","PeriodicalId":51760,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Cardiology","volume":"2026 ","pages":"6112171"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13284735/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148310339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cardiovascular complications are recognized, but acute myocardial infarction (AMI) following Androctonus crassicauda envenomation has not been previously reported.Case presentation: A 20-year-old previously healthy male presented 2 h after a scorpion sting to the left ankle with severe chest pain, diaphoresis, and nausea. An ECG showed ST-segment elevations in the anterior leads, and cardiac biomarkers were elevated. Echocardiography revealed severe hypokinesia of the left ventricular apex and septum (EF 30%). The patient received intravenous thrombolysis shortly after low-dose polyvalent antivenom, with rapid improvement. Coronary angiography was not performed; thus, alternative mechanisms such as coronary vasospasm, toxin-induced myocarditis, or Kounis syndrome cannot be excluded.Conclusion: This case highlights a rare but potentially life-threatening cardiac complication of A. crassicauda envenomation. Clinicians in endemic regions should consider scorpion sting in the differential diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes in young patients without traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Early recognition, antivenom administration, and cardiovascular support are essential.

While undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography for suspected ischemia, severe stenosis of the CS was incidentally observed.

Progressive worsening of MS and enlargement of the ASD resulted in significant left-to-right shunting, severe right heart volume overload, pulmonary hypertension, tricuspid annular dilation, and severe tricuspid regurgitation. Cardiac catheterization demonstrated low cardiac output, pulmonary overcirculation, and postcapillary pulmonary hypertension. The patient underwent mechanical mitral valve replacement, ASD closure, and tricuspid annuloplasty.Outcome: Postoperatively, the patient experienced transient left ventricular dysfunction that gradually improved with medical therapy. At 2-year follow-up, she demonstrated normal biventricular systolic function and complete resolution of heart failure symptoms.Conclusion: This case highlights how a large ASD may initially mask symptoms of severe MS while simultaneously promoting progressive right-sided heart failure and secondary tricuspid valve disease.
