A giant coronary aneurysm arising from the sinus node artery is reported. Diagnosis of this lesion by computed tomography and angiography is illustrated. The operative management is described. "Off-pump" aneurysmectomy was successfully performed. The role of occlusion test of the aneurysm inflow tract is emphasized.

Background: Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is a potentially lethal disease with a wide spectrum of clinical presentation, thus making the diagnosis hard to depict. In cases where acute circulatory failure occurs venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support is a valid management strategy, especially in the pediatric and adult patients. This study aims to report the results of VA ECMO for FM in our Institution.

We report a case of a 14-year-old girl with complex congenital heart disease where computed tomography (CT) angiography demonstrated a giant aneurysm of the right inferior pulmonary vein, in the absence of any downstream obstruction. The case highlights the developmental aspects of this rare anomaly in addition to the role of CT angiography in anatomical depiction of structures which are difficult to visualize on transthoracic echocardiography.

A 62-year-old man with acute coronary syndrome underwent an echocardiogram for evaluation. A transthoracic echocardiogram revealed masses within a giant coronary sinus. This case highlights the role of multimodality imaging in investigating coronary sinus enlargement, coronary sinus thrombosis, and the approach to management.

Background: Takayasu arteritis (TAK) and giant cell arteritis (GCA), the most common forms of large-vessel vasculitis (LVV), can result in serious morbidity. Understanding the molecular basis of LVV should aid in developing better biomarkers and treatments.
Methods: Plasma proteomic profiling of 184 proteins was performed in two cohorts.
