Ventricular tachycardia secondary to prolongation of the QT interval in a fetus with autoimmune mediated congenital complete heart block.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Post-operative severe vascular stenosis and proliferating endothelial tissue lead to severe circulatory disorders and impair organ perfusion. Bioabsorbable magnesium scaffolds may help to overcome these obstructions without leaving obstructing stent material. We analyse their role in the treatment of vascula...
