Imaging and endovascular management of haemoptysis in congenital heart disease.

Haemoptysis, a rare but serious complication that can arise in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), necessitates prompt diagnosis and specialised care. The radiologist plays a critical role in this scenario, including identifying the source of haemoptysis, devising treatment plans, and delivering endovascular interventions. This article highlights the importance of imaging techniques, especially computed tomography (CT), in identifying the cause of haemoptysis and the therapeutic value of endovascular interventions.

Technical Success, Midterm Primary Patency, and Factors Affecting Primary Patency of Subintimal Angioplasty Followed by Vasculomimetic Stenting for Trans-Atlantic Intersociety Consensus II C and D Femoropopliteal Arterial Disease-A Prospective Study.

 The best option among the endovascular options in long, complex femoropopliteal (FP) lesions, and factors affecting the patency have yet to be well described. There are few studies describing the mid- and long-term patency of endovascular stents in long-segment FP occlusions.  This study aimed to determine the technical success and mid-term patency of subintimal angioplasty with vasculomimetic stenting in Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus II (TASC) C and D FP disease.

A Curious Case of Multiple Intracardiac Masses: Antiphospholipid Syndrome Manifesting as Multiple Intracardiac Thrombi.

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by acquired hypercoagulability, recurrent pregnancy loss, and elevated levels of antiphospholipid antibodies. The common cardiovascular manifestations include valvulopathy, coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial dysfunction, cardiac thrombi, pulmonary thromboembolism, and pulmonary hypertension. Herein we present a case who presented with stroke with incidentally detected multiple cardiac lesions on echocardiography suspicious for mass.

Tandem Saphenous Vein Graft Aneurysms with Right Atrial Fistula: Evaluation of a "Rarest of a Rare Complication" Using CT Coronary Angiography.

Saphenous vein graft (SVG) aneurysm after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a rare complication. A fistula between an SVG aneurysm and a cardiac chamber is even rarer. Herein, we report a middle-aged man who underwent CABG with five grafts 13 years prior presenting with multiple aneurysms in the venous graft with a fistula between the aneurysm and the right atrium.

Endovascular interventions in main renal artery pathologies: an overview and update.

Renal arteries are involved in a wide spectrum of pathologies including atherosclerosis, fibromuscular dysplasia, Takayasu arteritis, aneurysms, and aortic type B dissections extending into main renal arteries. They manifest as renovascular hypertension, renal ischemia, and cardiovascular dysfunction. The location of the renal arteries in relation to the abdominal aortic aneurysm is a critical determinant of interventional options and long-term prognosis.
