This report describes the first application of intracoronary stenting to the septal perforator coronary artery in a patient with a totally occluded left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) and a patent venous graft to the distal LAD. The procedure was successful and resulted in almost complete relief of class III angina. Therefore, diseased large septal perforators may cause angina and be treated effectively by intracoronary stenting in selected cases.

Beating-heart CABG in patients with LV dysfunction can provide the best of all words by limiting myocardial injury purported by cardioplegic arrest. Complete revascularization is possible and graft numbers are not different when compared to arrested heart CABG. Furthermore, beating-heart CABG more often reduces the need for intraoperative and postoperative mechanical support reducing the complications and costs associated with these devices.

Background: Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) has an excellent efficacy and safety profile in the treatment of calcified coronary lesions during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, data regarding its use on left main (LM) lesions are still limited.

Objective: We aimed to analyze the technical success and 1-year clinical outcomes in calcified LM lesions treated with IVL.

Biomagnetic fluid dynamics (BFD) is an emerging and promising field within fluid mechanics, focusing on the dynamics of bio-fluids like blood in the presence of magnetic fields. This research is crucial in the medical arena for applications such as medication delivery, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, prevention of excessive bleeding, and treatment of malignant tumors using magnetic particles. This study delves into the intricacies of blood flow induced by cilia, carrying trihybrid nanoparticles (gold, copper, and titania), within a catheterized arterial annulus under a robust magnetic field.
