We are reporting the case of a 57 years old male, hypertensive, diabetic, dyslipidaemic who presented with exertional angina. He had a coronary artery bypass surgery, one year ago. He underwent left heart catheterization with graft study which showed critical native triple vessel disease with patent arterial graft to left anterior descending and occluded venous grafts to obtuse marginal and right coronary artery. The procedure was complicated by catheter induced dissection of the ascending aorta. Three days later he developed cholesterol emboli syndrome, that was treated symptomatically.

In recent years, large amounts of researches showed that pulmonary embolism (PE) has become a common disease, and PE remains a clinical challenge because of its high mortality, high disability, high missed and high misdiagnosed rates. To address this, we employed an artificial intelligence-based machine learning algorithm (MLA) to construct a robust predictive model for PE. We retrospectively analyzed 1480 suspected PE patients hospitalized in West China Hospital of Sichuan University between May 2015 and April 2020.

Aims: Atherogenic dyslipidemia (AD) is regarded as a residual risk of cardiovascular diseases characterized by low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and high triglyceride (TG) levels and related to the intracranial stenosis of atheromatous thrombotic brain infarction (ATBI). Further, atherosclerosis is possibly related to another stroke subtype, including cryptogenic stroke (CS). In particular, an aortic complicated lesion (ACL) is a notable embolic source of CS, since recurrence of aortogenic brain embolism is not rare.

Background: Cholesterol embolism causes various organ dysfunctions, including skin, kidney, and gastrointestinal tract dysfunction, as well as immunological abnormalities, such as hypocomplementemia and eosinophilia. However, only a few cases of vasculitis accompanied by cholesterol embolism have been reported.
Case Presentation: We present the case of an 82-year-old man with cholesterol embolism who also developed small-vessel vasculitis of the skin and muscles.

Cholesterol crystal embolism (CCE) is a rare but serious complication of atherosclerotic plaque rupture, often occurring after endovascular interventions. We report the case of a 73-year-old man who developed CCE following mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to left internal carotid artery occlusion. The patient, with a history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia, underwent successful MT with complete recanalization.

- An 80-year-old man experienced worsening kidney function and mobility issues, presenting symptoms like livedo reticularis and gangrene in his legs.
- He was diagnosed with a cholesterol crystal embolism and initially treated with prednisolone and rosuvastatin, but this did not lead to any improvement.
- The patient then underwent a new treatment involving low-density lipoprotein apheresis, which led to improvements in his leg symptoms and allowed for the discontinuation of dialysis.
