Abstract
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart defect. Early surgical repair has dramatically improved the outcome of this condition. However, despite the success of contemporary approaches with early complete repair, these are far from being curative and late complications are frequent. The most common complication is right ventricle outflow tract (RVOT) dysfunction, affecting most patients in the form of pulmonary regurgitation, pulmonary stenosis, or both, and can lead to development of symptoms of exercise intolerance, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. Optimal timing of restoration of RVOT functionality in asymptomatic patients with RVOT dysfunction after TOF repair is still a matter of debate. Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation, introduced almost 2 decades ago, has become a major game-changer in the treatment of RVOT dysfunction. In this article we review the pathophysiology, the current indications, and treatment options for RVOT dysfunction in patients after TOF repair with a focus on the role of percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation in the therapeutic approach to these patients.

Abstract
Nutrition support is increasingly recognized as a clinically relevant aspect of the intensive care treatment of cardiac surgery patients. However, evidence from adequate large-scale studies evaluating its clinical significance for patients’ mid- to long-term outcome remains sparse. Considering nutrition support as a key component in the perioperative treatment of these critically ill patients led us to review and discuss our understanding of the metabolic response to the inflammatory burst induced by cardiac surgery. In addition, we discuss how to identify patients who may benefit from nutrition therapy, when to start nutritional interventions, present evidence about the use of enteral and parenteral nutrition and the potential role of pharmaconutrition in cardiac surgery patients. Although the clinical setting of cardiac surgery provides advantages due to its scheduled insult and predictable inflammatory response, researchers and clinicians face lack of evidence and several limitations in the clinical routine, which are critically considered and discussed in this paper.

Abstract
Since 1929, when the first cardiac catheterization was safely performed in a human by Dr. Werner Forssmann (on himself), there has been a rapid progression of cardiac catheterization techniques and technologies. Today, these advances allow us to treat a wide variety of patients with congenital heart disease using minimally invasive techniques; from fetus to infants to adults, and from simple to complex congenital cardiac lesions. In this article, we will explore some of the exciting advances in cardiac catheterization for the treatment of congenital heart disease, including transcatheter valve implantation, hybrid procedures, biodegradable technologies, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided catheterization. Additionally, we will discuss innovations in imaging in the catheterization laboratory, including 3D rotational angiography (3DRA), fusion imaging, and 3D printing, which help to make innovative interventional approaches possible.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) dysfunction is a common hemodynamic challenge for adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD), including patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), truncus arteriosus (TA), and those who have undergone the Ross procedure for congenital aortic stenosis and the Rastelli repair for transposition of great vessels. Pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) has become one of the most common procedures performed for ACHD patients. Areas covered: Given the advances in transcatheter technology, we conducted a detailed review of the available studies addressing the indications for PVR, historical background, evolving technology, procedural aspects, and the future direction, with an emphasis on ACHD patients. Expert commentary: Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI) is widely accepted as an alternative to surgery to address RVOT dysfunction. However, current technology may not be able to adequately address a subset of patients with complex RVOT morphology. As the technology continues to evolve, new percutaneous valves will allow practitioners to apply the transcatheter approach in such patients. We expect that with the advancement in transcatheter technology, novel devices will be added to the TPVI armamentarium, making the transcatheter approach a feasible alternative for the majority of patients with RVOT dysfunction in the near future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND atrial fibrillation(AF) is a frequent manifestation of cardiac involvement in genetic and wild-type transthyretin-related familial amyloidosis(TTR-FA). However, ectasia of coronary arteries and ablation for AF have not been reported in TTR-FA. METHODS AND RESULTS A 65yo male developed progressive sensori-motor polyneuropathy since age 59y. At age 60y bifascicular block and myocardial thickening were recognised. At age 62y heart failure developed and work-up with cardiac MRI suggested amyloidosis but biopsy was non-informative. Coronary angiography revealed ectasias of the coronary arteries. At age 65y AF developed, neither responding to electrical cardioversion nor ablation. Work-up for polyneuropathy revealed the point mutation c.323A>G (p.His108Arg) in the TTR-gene. Tafamidis was started but did not exhibit a beneficial effect after 7 months. CONCLUSIONS TTR-FA may manifest in the coronary arteries with ectasia. Ablation for AF in TTR-FA may be unsuccessful. Tafamidis has been unsuccessful for cardiac or nerve involvement after the first seven months.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines allow percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) in conduits above 16mm diameter. Balloon dilatation of a conduit to a diameter>110% of the original implant size is also not recommended. We analyzed patients undergoing PPVI in such conditions. METHODS AND RESULTS Nine patients (May 2008-July 2016) from 8 institutions underwent PPVI in conduits <16mm diameter. Five patients with 16-18mm conduit diameter underwent PPVI after over-expansion of the conduit>110%. Mean age and weight of the 14 patients was 12.1 (7.7 to 16) years and 44.9 (19 to 83) kg. Median conduit diameter at PPVI was 12 (10 to 17) mm. Median systolic right ventricular pressure was 70 (40 to 94) mmHg. Procedure was successful in all cases. A confined conduit rupture occurred in 7 patients (50%) and was treated with covered stent in 6. One patient experienced dislocation of 2 pulmonary artery stents that were parked distally. The post-implantation median systolic right ventricular pressure was 36 (28 to 51) mmHg. A fistula between right-ventricle outflow and aorta was found in one patient, secondary to undiagnosed conduit rupture. This was closed surgically. After a median follow-up of 20.16 (6.95 to 103.61) months, all the patients are asymptomatic with no significant RVOT stenosis. CONCLUSIONS PPVI is feasible in small conduits but rate of ruptures is high. Although such ruptures remain contained and can be managed with covered stents in our experience, careful selection of patients and high level of expertise are necessary. More studies are needed to better assess the risk of PPVI in this population.

Abstract
Retroperitoneal hemorrhage from iliac artery injury is a potentially serious complication of vascular interventional procedures leading to hemorrhagic shock and death if not diagnosed early and treated promptly. We report a 70-year-old male admitted to our facility with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, whose heart catheterization revealed left anterior descending artery (LAD) with 80% proximal, 95% mid and 100% distal disease. The left circumflex and right coronary arteries were 100% occluded proximally and received collaterals from the LAD. The patient declined coronary artery bypass surgery; therefore, the decision was made to perform high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the LAD with Impella left ventricular assist device support. Left femoral artery angiogram revealed severely tortuous and calcified aorta, left external iliac and left common iliac arteries, and was accessed with 14-inch Impella sheath. He developed groin pain with mild hypotension thought to be due to sedation, which responded to intravenous fluids and dopamine. He underwent successful rotational atherectomy of the proximal and mid LAD with deployment of drug-eluting stents. Following PCI, he suffered acute profound hypotension necessitating intravenous fluids and vasopressor support with epinephrine. Emergency transthoracic echocardiogram did not reveal any pericardial effusion, and showed normal left ventricle and right ventricle systolic function. The Impella device was removed and selective left common iliac angiogram from the right femoral access revealed a vascular injury site with shift of the bladder to the right indicative of retroperitoneal hematoma. A digital subtraction angiogram revealed extravasation of blood at the vascular injury site. An 8.0 × 59 mm iCAST covered stent was deployed to the left external iliac artery with successful sealing of the perforation. The Impella device site was closed with two Perclose devices. The patient required 4 units of packed red blood cell transfusion. His hospital course was complicated by transient acute kidney injury, with return of his renal function to baseline at discharge 10 days later. This case underscores the importance of prompt recognition and treatment of vascular complications associated with interventional procedures, and highlights some of the risk predictors of such complications, which should be anticipated and planned for prior to intervention.

Abstract
Forkhead box protein subfamily P (FOXP) 1 has an important role in the control of gene transcription and is also reported to function as a tumor suppressor. The aim of the present study was to explore the regulatory mechanisms of atherosclerosis by investigating the function of microRNA-206 (miR-206) and the regulatory association between miR-206 and its potential target gene, FOXP1, in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Bioinformatics tools were utilized to identify FOXP1 as a target of miR-206. Luciferase reporter analysis was used to confirm this relationship and to identify the miR-206 binding site in the FOXP1 3′-untranslated region. It was demonstrated that the relative survival rate of VSMCs was suppressed by miR-206 compared with scramble controls. Furthermore, reduced expression of miR-206 in atherosclerosis tissue samples was observed, and the mRNA and protein expression levels of FOXP1 were upregulated in atherosclerosis tissue samples, both compared with the controls, indicating a negative correlation between miR-206 and FOXP1. Additionally, when treated with miR-206 mimics, the relative survival rate of VSMCs was notably reduced, which was rescued by overexpression of FOXP1. These findings increased the understanding of the regulatory role of miR-206 in atherosclerosis in VSMCs via targeting the FOXP1 gene; therefore, intervention with miR-206 as a therapeutic technique may be a strategy for atherosclerosis treatment in the future.

Abstract
Background In recent years, based on clinical observations, the number of lung cancer patients with concomitant coronary heart disease (CHD) has gradually increased. However, because of the requirement of long‐term anticoagulant therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), some of these patients lose the opportunity for surgical treatment, resulting in tumor progression. The objective of this study was to determine the appropriate timing of video‐assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy after PCI without increasing perioperative cardiovascular risk. Methods This study retrospectively analyzed clinical data of patients with a combination of NSCLC and CHD who underwent selective pulmonary lobectomy by VATS in the early postoperative PCI period between 2010 and 2015 at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, China. Results Fourteen patients received VATS lobectomy after PCI. The disease had progressed to T stage in two patients after PCI. No perioperative death occurred. Two patients suffered postoperative atrial fibrillation: one had a pulmonary infection, and the other had acute coronary syndrome. All patients recovered and were discharged. Conclusion For NSCLC patients with severe CHD, the use of VATS lobectomy in the early postoperative PCI period could not only advance the timing of surgery, but may also control perioperative hemorrhage and CHD event risks within acceptable ranges, which could provide more patients with an opportunity to undergo surgical treatment.

Abstract
Nuclear cardiology imaging tests are widely performed in Japan as clinical practice. The Japanese nuclear cardiology community has developed new diagnostic imaging tests using (123)I-beta-methyl-p-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid, (123)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine, and (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET for detecting cardiac involvement in sarcoidosis. These tests have become popular worldwide. The Japanese Circulation Society and the Japanese Society of Nuclear Cardiology have published clinical imaging guidelines showing indications and standards for the new imaging tests. JSNC is currently striving to improve the standard of clinical practice and is promoting research activities.
