Patients presenting with platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome can be treated successfully with a percutaneous intervention often requiring a variety of devices. Those requiring a non-PFO-type device had a greater prevalence of an aneurysmal septum, shorter primum septal overlap with the secundum septum, and greater septal angulation with the midline.

Despite advances in percutaneous coronary interventions and their widespread use, mortality in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (MI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) has remained very high, and treatment options are limited. Limited evidences exist, supporting many of the routinely used therapies in treating these patients. In the present article, we discuss CS complicating MI in general and an update on the currently available treatment options, including inotropes and vasopressor, coronary revascularization, mechanical circulatory support devices, mechanical complications, and long‐term outcomes.

The Edwards Sapien system is a viable and durable option for PPVI in this single-center study.

Obese patients require more than double the radiation dose in comparison to those with normal BMI. The operator should be aware of the increased dose of radiation required when performing CAG in patients with increased BMI, and especially in LAO cranial and caudal views.

Coexistence of a PFO and an additional lesion responsible for RLS is uncommon, but not rare; the majority are amenable to transcatheter or surgical intervention.
