Regression of biventricular hypertrophy in acromegalic cardiomyopathy following management of excessive growth hormone secretion.

Acromegalic cardiomyopathy is a significant cardiovascular complication associated with acromegaly, caused by excessive growth hormone production from a pituitary adenoma. Early diagnosis can be challenging due to its insidious nature. This case underscores the critical significance of timely medical intervention, illustrating favorable outcomes resulting from prompt therapeutic measures.

Overcoming Technical Complexities in Late Coronary Stent Thrombosis: A Clinical Report.

Complex bifurcation lesions often requiring a two-stent revascularization approach mean more metal, a higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, and added difficulties in the case of late complications, such as in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis. In this article, we report a case of late stent thrombosis in a 56-year-old patient who had left main (LM) and left anterior descending (LAD) left circumflex arteries with T and small protrusion technique percutaneous intervention (PCI) one year before her admission with hemodynamic compromise and no access to urgent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We discuss challenging and high-risk PCI with limited resources, and the result was satisfactory with a favorable outcome.

Mitral valvar anomalies causing subaortic stenosis: two rare case reports.

Unlabelled: Subaortic stenosis (SubAS) is a common cause of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. It may be focal or diffuse, leading to the development of a subaortic tunnel. Considered for a long time as a congenital anomaly, SubAS has been established lately as an acquired anomaly and secondary to a pre-existing anatomic alteration in the interventricular septum and mitral valve apparatus.
