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.

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). min (IQR, 19.2–34.8).

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.

A diagnostic spinal angiogram was completed with no evidence of arteriovenous fistula or aortic dissection. The mechanism is thought to be multifactorial due vasospasm, cerebral vasculitis, vascular thrombosis, cardioembolism from cocaine‐induced myocardial infarction or cardiomyopathy, and hypertensive surges [9].

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. Matching of the wire tip pressure and the aortic pressure should be done before crossing the lesion. Normal FFR is 1.0

CT angiogram chest: no aortic dissection or pulmonary embolism. This may occur as a result of blunt chest trauma or other acute stress that produces a sudden extreme shear force on a coronary artery ( that can result in an intimal tear that leads to intraluminal thrombosis ). No further troponins were measured. Was this coincidence? —

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. As a brief review, HCM is a genetically inherited disorder that produces structural disarray in the myocardial cells. References Naidu, S.

SMART 4 ( NCT04722250 ) studied patients with severe aortic stenosis and a small aortic annulus who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The primary non-inferiority endpoint was MACCE (a composite of cardiac death, MI, ischaemic stroke, stent thrombosis, or target vessel revascularisation).

Within the realm of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), stroke emerges as a recognized adverse event, manifesting at various stages during and after the procedure. Stroke stands as a major contributor to global morbidity and mortality, imposing a substantial burden on patients, societies, and healthcare systems worldwide.

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.
