Written by Willy Frick A young woman with a history of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria presented with acute substernal chest pain. Five days prior, she had a similar presentation to a different hospital. She underwent coronary angiography which showed thrombotic occlusion of an RPL branch s/p aspiration thrombectomy. The report describes heavy plaque in the proximal RCA by IVUS, but no lesions in the previously occluded RPL branch and no stent was deployed.

“What should my blood pressure be?” This is one of the most common questions I get as a cardiologist. The answer is pretty simple, but most people get this wrong, and doing so increases their future risk of heart attack and strokes. The problem is that high blood pressure is not some obscure risk that only impacts a small percentage of the population.

Perimembranous VSD is the commonest type of ventricular septal defect noted in children. There is a good chance of spontaneous closure of those detected in early childhood. Large VSDs can be associated with heart failure in infancy and may need surgery. Device closure is not that well established in perimembranous VSD as in case of muscular VSD.

BackgroundTreating heavily calcified vessels is a challenging task in patients with an impaired left ventricular ejection fraction. Percutaneous mechanical circulatory support (pMCS) is increasingly used in patients in high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (HRPCI).MethodsIn this retrospective registry, we investigated 25 patients undergoing a protected HRPCI receiving either intravascular lithotripsy (IVL + pMCS; n = 11) or rotational atherectomy (RA + pMCS; n = 14).

BackgroundGout is a type of chronic inflammatory disease linked to the accumulation of monosodium urate crystals, leading to arthritis. Studies have shown that patients with gout are more likely to develop atherosclerosis, but the specific mechanisms involved remain unknown. The purpose of the research was to explore the key molecules and potential mechanisms between gout and atherosclerosis.MethodsGene expression profiles for gout as well as atherosclerosis were obtained from the Gene Expressio

Vascular closure devices (VCDs) are a diverse class of cardiovascular devices intended to achieve hemostasis following arteriotomy in the common femoral artery for diagnostic and therapeutic interventional procedures. While the preclinical evaluation of VCDs parallel that of many other cardiovascular devices, there are device-specific nuances and model-specific technical considerations in assessing in vivo performance and handling, determining safety, and satisfying regulatory requirements.
