Reports and follow-up of angioplasty and stenting of asymptomatic totally occluded subclavian arteries are limited. We present a case of unstable angina and arterial occlusion of all four extremities treated with subclavian angioplasty and stenting with subsequent coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention. Twelve-month follow-up is also provided.

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.

An 80-year-old woman with history of intermittent chest pain presented with a new self-limited episode. A 12-lead electrocardiogram was performed while she was asymptomatic, showing large T waves in V to V. We report a not so known electrocardiographic pattern that can be particularly valuable for identifying patients at high risk of extensive myocardial infarction and its subsequent complications.

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) analysis can help in the planning of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Fractional flow reserve derived from coronary CTA (FFR), coronary CTA-derived regional myocardial mass, and FFR virtual PCI planner can facilitate decisions concerning sheath and guide catheter selection, stent lengths on the basis of predicted post-PCI FFR, optimal fluoroscopic angles, evaluation of provisional vs 2-stent bifurcation PCI techniques, and assessment of the magnitude of jeopardized myocardial mass in cases with side branch compromise. This case series illustrates the emerging opportunities for coronary CTA-based planning of bifurcation PCI.

Early infarct-associated pericarditis is a rare entity, given the availability of early coronary angiography and intervention. Although the electrocardiogram and the surface echocardiogram are initial studies, definitive imaging with cardiac magnetic resonance is recommended. We present a case of early infarct-associated pericarditis in the setting of a late-presenting silent right coronary artery myocardial infarction.

Patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction require rapid and decisive interventions to restore blood flow to the affected myocardium, minimizing ischemic damage. This case report is particularly unique because it involves a patient presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, where the culprit lesion was an occluded coronary artery graft with an extensive thrombus burden. The complexity of this case necessitated a strategic shift to revascularize the chronically occluded native vessel instead of the graft.
