Transcatheter Occlusion of Coronary-Pulmonary Fistula With a Liquid Embolic Agent After Evaluation by FFR.

A 58-year-old man was admitted for stable angina. The coronary angiogram revealed a coronary-pulmonary fistula with a nonsignificant atheroma. We decided to perform percutaneous embolization of the fistula in view of the symptoms and the hemodynamic assessment findings.

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: Less Is More!

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare cause of acute myocardial infarction (ACS). We report a case of acute coronary syndrome due to SCAD of the right coronary artery. Diagnosis was based on clinical presentation and coronary angiography, and confirmed by optical coherence tomography which guided our treatment strategy.

An education program for risk factor management after an acute coronary syndrome: a randomized clinical trial.

Importance: Lifestyle improvements after an acute coronary syndrome reduce cardiovascular risk but are difficult to achieve.

Objective: To determine whether a nurse-led or dietician-led cardiovascular risk factor education program would improve risk factor reduction over the long term after an acute coronary syndrome.

Design, Setting, And Participants: The Réseau Insuffisance Cardiaque (RESICARD) PREVENTION: study was a 2-arm, parallel-group, multicenter, randomized clinical trial at 6 tertiary care hospitals in France.
