View Article and Find Full Text PDFAims: We aimed to uncover the 5-year real world outcomes of patients with significant left mainstem (LMS) disease managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or medical management.
Methods: We identified patients with LMS disease in 2012 and analysed baseline characteristics and outcomes in the following 5 years.
Results: 119 patients were identified, 62% (74) received CABG and 12% (14) received PCI and 26% (31) were medically managed.
Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTS) is an extremely rare complication of fluorouracil containing chemotherapy regimes such as FOLFOX used for colorectal cancer, occurring in only five previous case reports. Due to its potentially fatal outcomes, yet infrequent presence in the literature, it is worthwhile reviewing the clinical features and outcomes of this phenomenon.
Case Summary: A 54-year-old lady was admitted with cardiogenic shock.
Background: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Aortic dissection and SCAD share common aetiologies such as a fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), Marfan, Ehlers Danlos, and more rarely systemic lupus erythematosus and Loeys-Dietz; however, SCAD has never been known to have a familial association with aortic dissection.
Case Summary: This case report describes a 48-year-old woman suffering from SCAD who had a mother who died from ascending aortic dissection in her 50s.
