Case Report: Coil embolization of ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm in patient with Behcet's disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundBehcet's disease (BD) is a systematic vasculitis that affects vessels with various sizes, presenting as venous thrombosis and arterial pseudoaneurysms.

Abnormal echocardiographic finding mimicking paracardiac cystic lesion

Heart BMJ

Previous medical interventions included a spectrum of procedures, including catheter-directed thrombectomy for popliteal artery aneurysms with thrombosis, vascular bypass grafting for cerebral-anterior communicating artery aneurysms and arch replacement and stent implantation for aortic dissecting aneurysms.

Systematic approach to obtain axillary arterial access for pediatric heart catheterizations

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Overall, 27/36 procedures were interventional, including 6 aortic valvuloplasties, 6 balloon angioplasties, and 15 stenting procedures. Results We identified 30 patients (66.7% males) with a median age of 1.1 months (IQR, 0.3–5.4), 5.4), and a median weight of 3.1 kg kg (IQR, 2.7–3.7). months (IQR, 1.7–5.1). mm (IQR, 2.4–3).

Fractional flow reserve for guiding coronary intervention and functional SYNTAX score

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

FFR is obtained by dividing the pressure distal to the stenosis by the central aortic pressure, which is usually equal to the pressure proximal to the stenosis if there is no additional stenosis in between. If the FFR normalizes after stenting, the restenosis rates at six months is less than 5%. Normal FFR is 1.0 and an FFR below 0.75

Role of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction in Modern High-Risk PCI with pLVAD Support

Cardiology Update

In the early years of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), studies indicated a heightened risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), involving outcomes such as death, Q-wave myocardial infarction (MI), stent thrombosis, and repeat revascularization.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

EMS 12-Lead

There is ventricular hypertrophy in the absence of abnormal loading conditions, such as aortic stenosis, or hypertension, for example – of which the most common variant is Asymmetric Septal Hypertrophy. A mid-LAD culprit lesion was identified and stented. References Naidu, S. American College of Cardiology.

Clinical outcomes and aortic remodeling after Castor single-branched stent-graft implantation for type B aortic dissections involving left subclavian artery

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundThe left subclavian artery (LSA) can be intentionally covered by a stent graft to acquire adequate landing zones for a proximal entry tear near the LSA during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). The Castor single-branched stent graft is designed to treat type B aortic dissection (TBAD) to retain the LSA during TEVAR.
