Under the pressure of a growing demand for care and with a view to good governance and resource management in the health field, day hospitalization has been imposed with a view to optimizing the availability of hospital beds and reducing health care expenses.In this paper, we have addressed the managerial and academic aspects of a day hospitalization project in interventional cardiology.An inventory of the organizational difficulties of the activity in the catheterization room was drawn up using an ISHIKAWA diagram. Project sheets following the QQOQCCP plan were established reflecting the...

Balloon pulmonary dilatation appears to be a safe and effective technique for the emergency management of critical pulmonary stenosis in neonates.Procedural complications can be controlled with a careful technique guided by fluoroscopy and echocardiography.In the short term, a non-negligible morbi-mortality may occur during the immediate evolution due to a maladjusted VD (by functional and/or morphological failure) despite an apparent procedural success.This unfavorable evolution can be avoided by a prolonged infusion of Prostine in order to improve the pulmonary flow and in case of failure...

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection has emerged as an important cause of acute coronary syndromes.Although it is increasingly described thanks to the wide and early use of coronary angiography and endocoronary imaging, it remains underdiagnosed because of two main difficulties: its terrain of occurrence different from conventional coronary disease and its often atypical angiographic aspects.A high index of clinical suspicion in the presence of pre-disposing conditions, together with familiarity of cardiologists with the angiographic variants of spontaneous coronary artery dissection, are...

Amyloidosis is a serious systemic disease, often unrecognized and under-recognized. Cardiac involvement determines the prognosis in the different forms.Advances in cardiac imaging have allowed the diagnosis of a greater number of patients with cardiac amyloidosis, but in most cases the diagnosis is made late, which explains the often guarded prognosis.Cardiac ultrasound and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging are essential for the diagnosis and risk assessment of patients. They allow, through the study of the global Strain for echocardiography and the study of late enhancement for magnetic...

The vena cava filter should never replace anticoagulation in the treatment of venous thromboembolic disease. Indeed, the percutaneous implantation procedure, although increasingly safe and simple, is not without complications. The risk of recurrence of deep vein thrombosis is another disadvantage that should not be overlooked, especially since the benefit in terms of reducing the occurrence of fatal pulmonary embolism and all-cause mortality has never been demonstrated. Therefore, the indications for cava filters should be discussed by a multidisciplinary team. Optional cava filters should be...
