A case study is presented in which the bronchial steal syndrome is demonstrated by stress thallium-201 myocardial perfusion imaging. The various aspects of the syndrome are discussed. We conclude that bronchial steal syndrome may provoke severe myocardial ischaemia even in the absence of coronary artery stenosis.

A right-sided aortic arch with an isolated left subclavian artery represents a rare anatomical variant, posing diagnostic challenges and clinical complexities. Here, we present a case of a 14-year-old male presenting with respiratory symptoms, unveiling a right-sided aortic arch with an isolated left subclavian artery. Through detailed clinical evaluation, radiographic imaging, and diagnostic modalities including chest radiography, computed tomography angiography, ultrasound, and time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography, the anatomical features and associated complications were delineated.

Unlabelled: Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are rare defects in the coronary circulation system that are usually diagnosed incidentally with cardiac imaging. Although the prognosis of coronary artery fistulas is highly variable, the complications to which they predispose patients are ultimately the determining factor. The authors describe a case of a 56-year-old male, a smoker, hospitalised for worsening dyspnoea on progressively smaller efforts, in the context of acute heart failure.

Coronary artery fistula is a rare coronary anomaly with communication between the coronary artery and either the cardiac chamber or other vessels. We present a case of coronary-to-bronchial artery fistula that resulted in likely coronary artery steal and was treated with coil embolization. ().
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFerroptosis is a death program executed via selective oxidation of arachidonic acid-phosphatidylethanolamines (AA-PE) by 15-lipoxygenases. In mammalian cells and tissues, ferroptosis has been pathogenically associated with brain, kidney, and liver injury/diseases. We discovered that a prokaryotic bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, that does not contain AA-PE can express lipoxygenase (pLoxA), oxidize host AA-PE to 15-hydroperoxy-AA-PE (15-HOO-AA-PE), and trigger ferroptosis in human bronchial epithelial cells.
