We describe five cases of posttraumatic anterior acute myocardial infarction in young patients, without previous heart disease. One case was treated with intracoronary thrombolysis and angioplasty, 3 cases received systemic thrombolysis, and the last one did not have any re-permeabilization therapy, having arrived to the hospital 72 hours after the episode. The coronary angiograms showed at the left anterior descending artery: thrombosis in 3 cases, coronary dissection in one case, and slow flow with no morphological lesions in the other. The case which not received thrombolytic therapy developed a severe left ventricular dysfunction. In conclusion we emphasize an early angiographic study, in order to decide the re-permeabilization therapy.

With the increasing number of cardiovascular implantable electronic device upgrade and vein obstruction caused by previous leads, it is important to have alternative techniques to upgrade the device with the maintenance of functioning leads. We report an 83-year old male with 13-year old one-lead dual-chamber pacemaker, ischemic cardiac disease and pre-dialytic chronic kidney disease submitted to an upgrade to cardiac resynchronization therapy. A sub-occlusion in the transition of left brachiocephalic vein and the superior vena cava was documented.

We describe an original case of cluster-like headache CLH) revealing a parasagittal tumor invading the superior sagittal sinus (SSS). Resection of the tumor (hemangiopericytoma) allowed the re-permeabilization of the SSS and was followed by the complete disappearance of CLH. Several mechanisms including obstruction of the SSS, hypervascularization with arterio-veinous shunt, and overflow in the cavernous sinus might explain the symptoms.
