Methods We retrospectively reviewed children with congenital heart diseases (CHDs) who received trans-axillary arterial catheterizations between January 2019 and February 2023. Background Axillary arterial access (AAA) in pediatric heart catheterizations is undervalued. We administrated intra-arterial verapamil (1.25 mg) min (IQR, 19.2–34.8).

The commonest causes of MINOCA include: atherosclerotic causes such as plaque rupture or erosion with spontaneous thrombolysis, and non-atherosclerotic causes such as coronary vasospasm (sometimes called variant angina or Prinzmetal's angina), coronary embolism or thrombosis, possibly microvascular dysfunction.

A second 12 Lead ECG was recorded: This is a testament to the dynamic nature of coronary thrombosis and thrombolysis. The patient verbalized spontaneous improvement just before 324mg ASA administration. Here the ST segments are not so deep, nor are the T waves so wide and bulky, because of improved coronary flow at the level of the occlusion.
