RESUMO
Abstract A 53-year-old man with an asymptomatic fistula from the Vieussens ring to the pulmonary artery presented with progressive respiratory distress. Coil embolization of this type of fistula has been described by femoral access. The advanced transradial "grandmother-mother-son" technique for high active support safely allows successful embolization of this type of coronary fistulae.
Resumen Un hombre de 53 años con una fístula asintomática del anillo de Vieussens a la arteria pulmonar comenzó con dificultad respiratoria progresiva. La embolización con coils de este tipo de fístulas ha sido descrita por acceso femoral. La técnica transradial avanzada "abuela-madre-hijo" para un alto soporte activo permite de manera segura la embolización exitosa de este tipo fístulas coronarias.

BACKGROUND: The comparative mid and long-term durability, including the rates of bioprosthetic valve failure (BVF) of the Sapien XT® and Sapien 3® transcatheter heart valve (THV) in patients with intermediate surgical risk has not been reported. METHODS: Consecutive intermediate-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis from the Mexican registry of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with Sapien® THVs were included. The primary endpoint was to compare the BVF rate between THVs at 2 years of follow-up. Secondary endpoints were comparisons of the composite of global mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and neurological events at 30 d and 24 months of follow-up. RESULTS: During 2014-2019, 115 (60 Sapien XT® and 55 Sapien 3®) patients met the inclusion criteria in five medical centres. The mean age was 77.3 ± 8.4 years. The average Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality (STS-PROM) was 5.6 ± 2.9. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in BVF rate. At 30 d, overall, cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality was 4.3%, 2.6%, and 1.7%, respectively. Neurological events rate was 1.73%. The mean long-term follow-up was 25.3 ± 14.2 months with an overall mortality of 9.56% but lower for the Sapien 3® group (15% vs. 3.6%, p=.037). The only independent predictor of composite mortality and neurological events that occurred in the long term was using a Sapien XT® [OR 1.6, CI 95%, 1.0-24.9; p=.049]. CONCLUSIONS: The BVF rate at 25 months of follow-up was similar with the XT and S3 systems. During this follow-up period, the major composite events of death from any cause and neurological events were significantly lower with the S3 system.
