Cerebrovascular Events Complicating Cardiac Catheterization - A Tertiary Care Cardiac Centre Experience.

Background: Cerebrovascular events (CVEs) are one of the rare complications of cardiac catheterization. This prospective single-center study was conducted to assess the incidence, presentations, and outcomes of CVEs in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization.

Methods: Patients undergoing cardiac catheterization who developed CVEs within 48 h of procedure were analyzed prospectively with clinical assessment and neuroimaging.

"Incidence, clinical and angiographic characteristics, management and outcomes of coronary artery perforation at a high volume cardiac care center during percutaneous coronary intervention".

Aims: To study the incidence, clinical and angiographic characteristics, management and outcomes of coronary artery perforation (CAP) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at a high volume center in South-east Asia.

Methods: Data from patients who had CAP during PCI from January 2016 to December 2019 at our center were collected. Clinical features, angiographic and procedural characteristics, their management and outcomes were analyzed retrospectively.

Percutaneous coronary intervention in a rare variety of single coronary artery.

We present a case of 50-year-old male having unstable angina. A rare type of single coronary artery was identified during the Coronary angiogram. The left anterior descending (LAD) and left circumflex artery (LCX) had originated from the proximal segment of right coronary artery along with significant lesion in LCX.

Transcatheter pharmacomechanical approach for acute renal vein thrombosis: a rational technique.

Acute renal vein thrombosis (RVT) causes rapid deterioration of renal function if it is not treated aggressively. Conventional anticoagulation therapy is the standard mode of treatment; however, the need for rapid and complete resolution has led to the development of newer modes of treatment such as percutaneous catheter-directed techniques. We describe a case of acute RVT with deteriorating renal functions that highlights the rational of percutaneous catheter-directed combined pharmacomechanical thrombolysis-thrombectomy approach to successfully restore the renal vein patency with improvement of the renal function.

Spontaneous multivessel coronary artery dissection with anomalous coronary artery.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is one of the rare causes of acute coronary syndrome in young healthy individuals especially women without having any conventional risk factors for coronary artery disease. We describe a case of 34-year-old healthy man with diffuse multiple SCADs who presented with acute coronary syndrome and was managed conservatively with an uneventful course on long-term follow-up.

Endovascular treatment of iliac vein compression syndrome (May-Thurner).

May-Thurner syndrome is a rare condition that results from narrowing of the left common iliac vein (CIV) lumen due to pulsatile compression from the right common iliac artery (CIA) as it crosses anterior to it. We present a case of 24-years old female with left lower limb deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Duplex ultrasonography revealed extensive left-sided DVT.
