Paradoxical Infarction? Inferior STEMI With Unexpected Discovery of ASD in an Oncology Patient: A Case of Combined Percutaneous Intervention.

This case report explores the management of a 56-year-old female oncology patient presenting with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and an incidental atrial septal defect (ASD). The patient, with a history of rectal cancer and hypothyroidism, experienced acute chest pain and dyspnea. She was diagnosed with an inferior STEMI and underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the placement of three medicated stents in the right coronary artery.

Feasibility of distal transradial access for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention: an observational and prospective study in a Latin-American Centre.

Background: Distal transradial access (dTRA) as a refinement of the conventional transradial access (TRA) has advantages in terms of risk of radial artery occlusion (RAO). In order to evaluate the real-world feasibility and safety of dTRA as the default access site for routine coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a Latin-American centre, this prospective observational registry was conducted.

Methods: Consecutive patients with a prior assessment for CAG and/or PCI were enrolled in this single-centre prospective registry from October 2018 to March 2019.

[Bronchial artery embolization with vascular ocluder device in a patient with hemoptysis].

Background: Hemoptysis is a sign that can be secondary to various clinical entities. Depending on the amount of bleeding, it may even endanger the patient's life. The presence of a dilated and tortuous bronchial artery may explain the hemoptysis, whose treatment consists in closing the vessel.

[Purulent pericarditis. Case report].

The diagnosis is suspected in a febrile patient with right cardiac failure and a primary infectious source. However, not all patients present in this form therefore the diagnosis and treatment can be difficult and a real challenge.

[Mitral percutaneous valvuloplasty with Inoue balloon. Long-term results at the National Medical Center " 20 of November" ISSSTE Mexico].

Unlabelled: Balloon mitral valvuloplasty has, over the last 15 years, become an established interventional procedure for patients with pliable non-calcified mitral stenosis. In this article we describe the long-term outcome of 100 patients from our hospital (National Medical Center "20 de Noviembre" ISSSTE, Mexico City), who were treated with this procedure. Average follow-up was 38.
