Article Synopsis
- ALCAPA syndrome is a rare congenital heart condition where the left coronary artery improperly originates from the pulmonary artery, leading to serious health risks.
- The case series presented focuses on how ALCAPA can cause anterior mitral valve leaflet prolapse, a specific heart valve problem.
- Understanding the mechanisms behind these conditions is important for recognizing ALCAPA syndrome early on in patients.
: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) in patients with inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in the Vilnius Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) Referral Centre and to provide a comparative analysis with other centres. : This study included all BPA procedures performed between 2019 and 2024 in a single tertiary centre. Invasive haemodynamic parameters and clinical variables were assessed at baseline; at the end of invasive treatment; and at the conclusion of follow-up, an average of 8.

This study aimed to assess the predictive value of admission HR on long-term mortality following PPCI and the influence of beta-blockers on postdischarge survival.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data on 2310 PPCI-treated STEMI patients at a regional tertiary center between March 2008 and June 2010.
Background: Although percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) via radial artery access confers many advantages over the femoral artery, PCI to saphenous vein grafts (SVG) is commonly performed via the femoral route. We compared outcomes in patients undergoing SVG PCI from the radial and femoral routes.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent SVG PCI between January 2006 and December 2010 in 2 large interventional centers in the United Kingdom.
