Article Synopsis
- Chest pain is a common reason for emergency room visits, and this case discusses a 48-year-old woman who initially refused hospital admission despite presenting with typical chest pain suggesting a coronary issue.
- During further evaluation with a CT coronary angiography, an esophageal tumor (leiomyoma) was accidentally discovered, which was surgically treated, leading to the patient becoming asymptomatic.
- One year later, she complained of similar chest pain again; while it was initially thought to be related to the previous tumor, tests confirmed it was due to coronary issues this time, yet she still opted to avoid hospital admission for further procedures.
Radial artery spasm (RAS) is a common complication associated with transradial access (TRA) for coronary interventions, particularly affecting elderly patients in whom radial access is preferred due to its benefits in reducing bleeding complications, improving clinical outcomes, and lowering long-term costs. This review examines the incidence, prevention, and treatment of RAS. Methods included an online search of PubMed and other databases in early 2024, analyzing meta-analyses, reviews, studies, and case reports.

This study employed a multivariable Poisson regression analysis to examine the association between short-term exposure to atmospheric pollutants (nitrogen dioxide-NO, sulfur dioxide -SO, ozone-O, and particulate matter with a diameter less than 10 μm-PM) and hospital admissions for non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). Daily data on NSTE-ACS admissions, air pollutants, and meteorological variables were collected from January 2019 to December 2021.
