AI Article Synopsis
- Dual coronary artery fistulas are rare conditions with unclear clinical importance.
- A case is reported involving a fistula between the right coronary artery and left anterior descending artery, connecting to the pulmonary artery, causing a significant left to right shunt (1.6:1).
- Remarkably, the patient, now 85 years old, has been asymptomatic without any need for closure procedures.
Article Abstract
Dual coronary artery fistula is a rare clinical entity and their clinical significance remains unknown. We hereby report a case of right coronary artery and left anterior descending artery fistula to pulmonary artery complicated with clinical significant left to right shunt (1.6:1) who remained clinically well at the age of 85 without percutaneous or surgical closure.

Patients with Turner Syndrome (TS) and those exposed to high concentrations of glucocorticoids have a number of characteristics in common, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Pediatric TS patients underwent studies of salivary cortisol (SC) and cortisone (SCn), body composition, continuous glucose monitoring, vascular function, and ambulatory blood pressure (BP). Biochemical indicators of cardiovascular risk were also measured.

Open Heart

Cardiology, Radboudumc, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Background And Aims: Due to the multitude of risk factors outlined in the guidelines, personalised dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) guidance after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is complex. A simplified method was created to facilitate the use of risk stratification. We aimed to compare the predictive and prognostic value of the 'Zuidoost Nederland Hart Registratie' (ZON-HR) classification for bleeding risk with the PREdicting bleeding Complications In patients undergoing Stent implantation and subsEquent DAPT (PRECISE-DAPT) score and to determine the effect of ticagrelor monotherapy versus DAPT in patients with or without high bleeding risk (HBR).

Background And Aims: Members of the CCN matricellular protein family are crucial in various biological processes. This study aimed to characterize vascular cell-specific effects of CCN5 on neointimal formation and its role in preventing in-stent restenosis (ISR) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: Stent-implanted porcine coronary artery RNA-seq and mouse injury-induced femoral artery neointima single-cell RNA sequencing were performed.

Department of Artificial Intelligence and Informatics, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL, United States.
Background: Effective management of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) following drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is crucial for preventing adverse events. Traditional prognostic tools, such as rule-based methods or Cox regression, despite their widespread use and ease, tend to yield moderate predictive accuracy within predetermined timeframes. This study introduces a new contrastive learning-based approach to enhance prediction efficacy over multiple time intervals.
