Coronary sinus thrombosis in a patient with amyloidosis, the role of multimodality imaging: a case report.

Background: Amyloidosis can affect the heart, causing arrhythmia, thromboembolic events, and sudden cardiac death. Coronary sinus thrombosis is an uncommon though life-threatening condition which requires early identification and management.

Case Summary: A 72-year-old Caucasian man, who recovered from out-of-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest, was diagnosed with coronary sinus thrombosis using cardiac imaging techniques.

Association of cyclophilins and cardiovascular risk factors in coronary artery disease.

Cyclophilins are chaperone proteins that play important roles in signal transduction. Among them, cyclophilins A, B, C, and D were widely associated with inflammation and cardiovascular diseases. Cyclophilins A and C have been proposed as coronary artery disease biomarkers.

[Increase of serum cyclophilin C levels in the follow-up of coronary artery disease: A biomarker and possible clinical predictor].

Objective: This study is aimed at investigating the changes in serum CypC levels and their relationship with cardiovascular events at 12 months of follow-up in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients.

Methods: The study included a total of 125 subjects (40 patients with acute CAD, 40 patients with chronic CAD, and 45 control volunteers) and we analyzed plasma CypC levels from baseline to 6 and 12 months for a better understanding of its behavior in atherosclerosis.

Results: Serum CypC levels were shown to be gradually increased in CAD patients (30.

12-month clinical outcomes after Magmaris percutaneous coronary intervention in a real-world cohort of patients: Results from the CardioHULA registry.

Introduction And Objectives: Clinical evidence on the bioresorbable magnesium scaffolds (BRS) is still scarce. We aim to assess clinical outcomes after magnesium BRS deployment in a real-world cohort of patients.

Methods: We included in a non-randomized, prospective, single-center registry of all patients treated with at least one Magmaris device in our cath lab.

Magnesium versus poly-L-lactic acid bioresorbable scaffolds: in vivo optical coherence tomography comparison of mechanical performance.

Background: Different mechanical properties have been suggested for metallic bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) in comparison to polymeric BVS. We aim to evaluate the acute mechanical performance of Magmaris scaffold in comparison to Absorb.

Materials And Methods: Two groups of 10 coronary lesions treated with Magmaris and Absorb 1.

Percutaneous coronary intervention for treating de-novo lesions in small coronary vessels: initial experience with the Essential paclitaxel-coated balloon.

Background: Paclitaxel-coated balloon (PCB) coronary angioplasty is an alternative treatment for de-novo coronary lesions in small vessels. This study with the new Essential PCB aimed to evaluate early and mid-term clinical outcomes following angioplasty with the Essential PCB in the treatment of de-novo lesions in small vessels.

Patients And Methods: We included all patients who underwent PCB angioplasty for treating de-novo coronary lesions in small vessels (reference diameter <2.

Bioresorbable vascular scaffolds in coronary chronic total occlusions revascularization: safety assessment related to struts coverage and apposition in 6-month OCT follow-up.

Beneficial properties of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) regarding to vasomotility restoration and no caging of the vessel make them attractive devices in chronic total occlusions (CTO) revascularization. However, more evidence is needed attending to their use in this specific setting. We aim to determine feasibility and safety of BVS use in CTO revascularization attending to struts coverage and apposition, as well as re-stenosis and stent thrombosis (ST) rates.

"Assessment of effectiveness and security in high pressure postdilatation of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds during percutaneous coronary intervention. Study in a contemporary, non-selected cohort of Spanish patients".

Objectives: To determine security and benefits of high pressure postdilatation (HPP) of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of complex lesions whatever its indication is.

Background: Acute scaffold disruption has been proposed as the main limitation of BVS when they are overexpanded. However, clinical implications of this disarray are not yet clear and more evidence is needed.

Relation of contrast induced nephropathy to new onset atrial fibrillation in acute coronary syndrome.

Chronic renal failure has been described as a risk factor for the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of this study was to examine the association between contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) and new-onset AF in patients with acute coronary syndromes. A total of 1,520 consecutive patients (mean age 67.
