BACKGROUND Second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block is a frequently encountered conduction abnormality on surface electrocardiogram (ECG). However, it does not always imply a block at the AV nodal level. In rare cases, this block can occur below the bundle of His, within the infra-Hisian region of the His-Purkinje system.

We present the case of a 33-year-old patient with atypical pulmonary anatomy secondary to fibrosing mediastinitis who underwent pulmonary thrombectomy with the Lightning Flash aspiration catheter following a pulmonary embolism triggered by tibial osteomyelitis. Despite an inconclusive computed tomography angiography report, the diagnosis was made through clinical evaluation associated with electrocardiographic and echocardiographic changes. Angiography was crucial for diagnosis.

Background: Esophageal perforation is a rare but life-threatening condition associated with a high mortality rate and often presents with nonspecific clinical manifestations that can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment. When combined with ST-segment elevation on electrocardiography (ECG), it can be particularly challenging to distinguish esophageal perforation from acute inferior myocardial infarction, as the two conditions may share similar ECG findings.
Case Description: We report the case of a 65-year-old man with a significant history of long-term alcohol consumption who presented to our hospital (the Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine) with persistent oppressive pain in the anterior and posterior left chest.

Background: ST elevation combined with typical chest pain is an indication for acute coronary vascularization and is usually associated with acute myocardial infarction. Herein, we present an unusual case of ST elevation.
Case Presentation: A 57-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with chest pain radiating to both arms and the back.

Traditionally reflecting critical stenosis of the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery, Wellens' syndrome (WS) is an electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern of biphasic or deeply inverted T waves in leads V2 and V3. This critical stenosis can progress to an extensive anterior myocardial infarction (MI) if early and appropriate management is not received promptly. The diagnosis of severe stenosis of the LAD coronary artery can be made by using electrocardiographic changes in Wellens' syndrome.
