Infective endarteritis of coronaries following percutaneous coronary intervention (stentocarditis) leading to pseudoaneurysm - a retrospective study of eleven cases.

Background: Coronary endarteritis and stent abscess following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are rare and challenging conditions with no clear treatment guidelines available.

Aims: This retrospective study aims to present the clinical features, patient and procedural factors, management strategies, and outcomes in 11 consecutive cases referred between 2018 and 2022.

Methods: We retrospectively analysed 11 cases of coronary endarteritis and stent abscess post-PCI that were referred from various centres.

Malignant arrhythmia with benign tumour: fibrolipoma of the left ventricle.

We report a case of young male referred for evaluation of recent onset recurrent syncope. Inhospital electrocardiogram revealed an episode of ventricular flutter which reverted spontaneously to sinus rhythm. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed hyperechoic mass in the left ventricle.

Multiple ventricular septal rupture after blunt trauma.

Ventricular septal rupture occurring as a result of blunt trauma is a very rare clinical condition. Compression of the heart between the sternum and the vertebral column during late diastole or isovolumetric contraction resulting in sudden increase in the intracardiac pressure is a prerequisite for its occurrence. Sudden relief of the inner pressure becomes impossible when the heart is full, thereby resulting in myocardial contusion and rupture.
