A 55 year-old man with huge coronary artery fistula to the right atrium is presented. The Qp/Qs ratio was 1.6. We failed to place simultaneously three interlocking detachable coils for closing the fistula, because the coils were washed out into the right atrium. We deployed the coronary stent at the distal portion of the coronary artery. This procedure enabled us to anchor 7 electrically or interlocking detachable coils and to interrupt the shunt flow. A Doppler flow wire was useful to reveal instantaneously the extent of flow reduction even when contrast angiography was not performed in each procedure.

Background: The recently identified swine inflammation and necrosis syndrome (SINS) affects tail, ears, teats, coronary bands, claws and heels of affected individuals. The primarily endogenous syndrome is based on vasculitis, thrombosis, and intimal proliferation, involving defence cells, interleukins, chemokines, and acute phase proteins and accompanied by alterations in clinical chemistry, metabolome, and liver transcriptome. The complexity of metabolic alterations and the influence of the boar led to hypothesize a polygenic architecture of SINS.

Despite significant progress in wearable sensors, it is a significant challenge to monitor temperature and stress simultaneously with a single sensor. A wearable multifunctional optical sensor based on Er/Yb co-doped GdO nanoparticles and a tapered U-shaped fiber is proposed to monitor both temperature and stress in this paper.

Introduction: Large artery atherosclerosis is a relevant cause of ischemic stroke. Beyond carotid artery stenosis ≥ 50%, causative in etiological classification of stroke, non-stenosing plaques are an increasingly reported cause of stroke with embolic pattern.
Methods: We are presenting the case of a 56 years old woman presenting with a first symptomatic multifocal ischemic stroke in the right internal carotid artery (ICA) territory on 2018 and a finding of asymptomatic past vascular injury in the same vascular territory on neuroimaging studies.
