Transcatheter aortic valve implantation with and without mitral stenosis - A National Readmission Database study.

Introduction: Mitral valve stenosis (MS) can be concomitantly present in patients undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). Some studies have reported up to one-fifth of patients who underwent TAVI also have MS. The relationship between mitral stenosis and TAVI has led to concerns regarding increased adverse cardiac outcomes during and after the procedure.

Gastric ischaemia: a rare cause of gastric ulcers.

Gastric ulcers secondary to gastric ischaemia is rare because of the rich blood supply of the stomach. We present a case where a patient with history of atherosclerotic vascular disease (ASCVD) presented with unintentional weight loss and failure to thrive for several months. Initial imaging studies ruled out any active malignancy.

Unusual presentation of superior mesenteric artery syndrome after trauma.

Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare but severe condition. SMA syndrome's association with trauma has been reported to present weeks to months after significant weight loss due to head or spinal cord injury. We present an unusual case of SMA syndrome presenting with obstructive symptoms, which developed immediately after clavicle fracture and was not associated with weight loss.
