Successful Intervention for a Thrombosed Giant Coronary Artery Aneurysm in Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children.

We report the case of a 13-year-old who presented with an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction caused by a thrombotic occlusion of an aneurysmal left anterior descending coronary artery. Our patient was diagnosed and treated for multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children and underwent successful balloon angioplasty and aspiration thrombectomy.().

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection of the left anterior descending artery in a patient with COVID-19 infection.

A 48-year-old woman with a past medical history of migraines and hyperlipidemia presented due to severe retrosternal chest pain with no other associated signs or symptoms. The patient was hemodynamically stable and was found to have an elevated troponin with electrocardiogram showing no ischemic changes. Computed tomography of the coronary arteries showed a left dominant system with dissection extending from the mid-to-distal left anterior descending (LAD) artery.

Diastolic blood pressure predicts outcomes after aortic paravalvular leak closure.

Objectives: We sought to determine hemodynamic effects of aortic paravalvular leak (PVL) and predictors of clinical outcomes after aortic PVL closure.

Background: The significance of hemodynamic alterations in PVL and relation to severity, procedural success of percutaneous closure and clinical outcomes have not been defined.

Methods: Patients undergoing percutaneous PVL closure between July 21, 2004 and September 10, 2018 were included.
