- The study analyzed 998 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for left main coronary artery (LMCA) from 2007 to 2022, focusing on mortality predictors and trends.
- Key findings showed that older age and conditions like myocardial infarction, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease worsened prognosis, while higher ejection fraction and use of intravascular imaging led to better outcomes.
- Overall, the rate of LMCA PCI increased over the years, short-term mortality improved, but longer-term prognosis showed a trend toward worsening, highlighting the need to address multimorbidity in patients.
Valve-in-Valve (ViV) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a viable therapeutic option for structural valve degeneration following surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or prior TAVI. However, the understanding of long-term complications and their management remains limited. We present the case of a 69-year-old male with a history of ViV-TAVI, who presented with symptoms of non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and transient ischemic attack (TIA).

Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has emerged as a promising alternative for patients with contraindications or intolerance to anticoagulant therapy. This review summarises the current evidence, indications, and technical advancements in surgical and percutaneous LAAO.

Methods: We analysed short- (lags up to seven days) and mid-term (0-30 days moving average) influence of particulate matter (PM), sulphur dioxide (SO), nitrogen dioxide (NO) and benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) on hospitalizations due NSTEMI and STEMI in 2011-2020.
