Myocardial bridging is a frequent anomaly of the heart in humans and other animals. A myocardial bridge is typically characterized by the systolic narrowing seen with traditional catheter angiography, but this abnormality is not by itself a sign of ischemia or the need for intervention. In particular, transient spontaneous angina must be corroborated by reproducible narrowing during acetylcholine testing; this narrowing occurs during resting conditions and is responsive to nitroglycerin administration.

Renal artery (RA) anomaly is common and may have significant clinical implications. We present a case of a 29-year-old man in whom the upper two-thirds of the right kidney were supplied by the right internal mammary artery and collateral network. Additionally, the superior left RA had proximal stenosis with a distal aneurysm.

A 66-year-old transfeminine patient presented to our institution with a central-venous stenosis causing dysfunction of her arteriovenous (AV) graft on her left arm. The patient was treated repeatedly, because of restenosis. Due to complete occlusion of the graft and subclavian vein as well as a liquid tumor located around the stenotic segment of the vein, we resected the left subclavian vein via a trap-door thoracotomy and inserted a PTFE-graft.

Neurological outcomes of patients with PA undergoing TAVI with modern valves require clarification as most trials examined balloon-expandable valves (BEV) and self-expandable valves in intermediate or high-risk patients, but not specifically in patients with PA. Our aim was to compare outcomes, including stroke and mortality, in well-matched patients with and without PA who received BEV during transfemoral TAVI procedures.
