Left anterior descending artery aneurysm in a young patient with familial retinal arterial macroaneurysm: A case report.

Purpose: Familial retinal arterial macroaneurysm (FRAM) is a rare genetic disorder caused by a gene mutation in the insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7).

Observations: We report a 30-year-old male with FRAM and IGFBP7 gene mutation who presented with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Invasive coronary angiography revealed a large aneurysm at the proximal part of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery.

Splenic abscess associated with infective endocarditis; Case series.

Splenic abscess is a well-described but rare complication of infective endocarditis. Rapid diagnosis and treatment are essential as its course can be fatal. We present three case reports that describe the management of splenic abscesses in patients initially diagnosed with infective endocarditis.

Successful percutaneous closure of post myocardial infarction left ventricular ruptured pseudoaneurysm after failed surgical repair.

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysms occur as a consequence of left ventricular free wall rupture contained by pericardium. This clinical situation is an uncommon but lethal complication of acute myocardial infarction. Surgery usually is the preferred therapeutic option but is associated with significant perioperative risk.
