Preoperative identification of the Adamkiewicz artery (AKA) with adequate reconstruction or preservation during surgery is useful for protecting the spinal cord from ischemia during thoracoabdominal aortic repair. However, the identification of the AKA remains challenging in some cases, especially with chronic aortic dissection. In a 45-year-old man with chronic aortic dissection requiring thoracoabdominal aortic repair, conventional contrast-enhanced CT or MR angiography failed to detect AKA due to the large entry tear and an enlarged false lumen.

Background: The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis. AVF stenosis is a common complication, often requiring balloon angioplasty. For recurrent stenosis, AVF stenting may be an option.

Ischemia with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries (INOCA) in the 2024 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Guidelines for the management of chronic coronary syndromes.

Background: Chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) occur commonly in the absence of flow-limiting epicardial coronary stenoses. Ischemia or angina with no obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA/ANOCA) may be caused by coronary microvascular disease, coronary artery spasm, myocardial bridging, diffuse atherosclerosis, or a combination of disorders.

Methods & Results: We highlight the new recommendations in the 2024 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines on CCS relevant to the diagnosis and management of INOCA/ANOCA.

Background: Coronary angiography (CAG) and targeted temperature management (TTM) may improve clinical outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. This study aimed to assess whether the intervention effects differed according to timing and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) performance.

Methods And Results: Adult patients with presumed cardiac cause who underwent CAG and TTM within 24 hours following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were included from the Korean nationwide out-of-hospital cardiac arrest registry.

Background: First-generation bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) increased risks of stent thrombosis and adverse events. The Bioheart scaffold is a new poly-L-lactic acid-based BRS.

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the BRS in patients with coronary artery disease.
