Expression of AR on PBMC correlated with those measured in coronary artery and aortic tissues in CAD patients, AR activity of PBMC matched that observed in aorta, and AR expression and activity in PBMC were found reduced as compared to controls. Measuring the expression level of AR on PBMC represents a good tool to address in situ expression in coronary tissues of CAD patients.

There is an increased risk of PPM with 23mm S3-THV in comparison with 23 mm XT-THV. This may be attributable to the additional sub-annular cuff that avoids the risk of PVR. Regarding the increased vulnerability of younger patients to PPM, we provide essential information on the extension of TAVR indication to the younger population.

Hydatid disease is an endemic parasitosis that results from the ingestion of echinococcosis tapeworm eggs. This condition leads to the formation of cysts, mainly in the liver and lungs, and causes life-threatening complications. Cardiac involvement represents only 0.5-2% of the localizations. We report a rare case of a pulmonary cyst embolism that required emergency surgical intervention.
