Velocity-Encoded Phase-Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Diagnosing Severe Bilateral Subclavian Steal Syndrome with Complete Vertebral Reversal.

Unlabelled: Subclavian steal syndrome (SSS) involves changes in hemodynamics secondary to proximal subclavian artery stenosis and/or occlusion where the subclavian artery "drains" the blood from the vertebral artery. It sometimes induces neuromuscular symptoms, especially in cases with bilateral involvement. We report the case of a 65-year-old symptomatic male with severe bilateral SSS with complete vertebral reversal.

Myocardial Infarction with Normal Coronary Arteries in a Patient with Heroin Use and Infective Endocarditis.

Unlabelled: Myocardial infarction with normal coronary arteries typically occurs in patients under 50 years of age. There is usually no history of angina or previous myocardial infarction, and risk factors for ischemic heart disease are frequently absent. We report a 27-year-old heroin user with normal coronary arteries and inferior wall infarction secondary to infective endocarditis.
