Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Atherosclerotic Coronary Artery Disease After Arterial Switch Operation: A Case Report.

Late coronary complications after an arterial switch operation (ASO) may occur due to vessel kinking, compression resulting from growth of the great vessels, ostial fibro-intimal thickening after reimplantation or possibly secondary to accelerated atherosclerosis. Given that many of these patients are asymptomatic, adult ASO survivors require special attention and an individualised approach to the early detection of coronary artery disease. Most previously reported cases of coronary artery disease after an ASO have been managed surgically.

Combined intra-cavitary course of left anterior descending artery and myocardial bridge of right coronary artery in right ventricle hypertrophy: a case report.

Background: Intra-cavitary (IC) coronary course is a rare anatomical variant that has become more commonly reported in the last decade. While the condition is generally benign and often discovered incidentally during coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), these arteries are vulnerable to injury during cardiac interventions. It is unclear whether right ventricle (RV) pathology, such as dilatation or hypertrophy, plays a role in this condition.

Unusual presentation of acute spinal cord injury with ischaemic electrocardiographic changes: a case report.

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality with an incidence of 40-83/million/year. Sympathetic denervation in SCI leads to cardiovascular abnormalities including orthostatic hypotension, rhythm disturbance, and repolarization changes. Electrocardiographic (ECG) findings include bradyarrhythmias, ectopic beats, long QT interval, and ST-T changes that may be mistaken for myocardial ischaemia.
