Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is widespread. We report a case of graft migration and dissecting aneurysm rupture after trauma. An 82-year-old man with a history of TEVARs for chronic type B aortic dissection had sudden dyspnea and hemoptysis after falling from a stationary bicycle.

Mechanical complications, such as acute mitral regurgitation (MR), can worsen the clinical course, leading to rapid hemodynamic deterioration. Recent advancements in mechanical circulatory support and percutaneous interventions have introduced new therapeutic options, offering viable alternatives to traditional surgery for high-risk patients.

Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are a common finding in patients with surgically repaired congenital heart defects including transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA). While often asymptomatic, PVCs can sometimes lead to palpitations, dyspnea, and hemodynamic compromise, requiring therapeutic intervention. The arterial switch operation is the preferred treatment for D-TGA, but these patients have a 2% incidence of ventricular arrhythmias and 1% incidence of sudden cardiac death post-operatively.

A 74-year-old woman presented with sudden dyspnea 22 h after orthopedic surgery. Echocardiography revealed significant right ventricular dilatation, suggesting the development of acute pulmonary embolism. However, contrast computed tomography showed no signs of pulmonary thromboembolism, leading to suspicion of fat embolism syndrome (FES).

Acute pancreatitis is a disease characterized by local destruction of the pancreatic gland due to premature activation of pancreatic enzymes within the acinar cells. Tissue damage can activate an inflammatory cascade, which can lead to systemic complications. Although vascular complications are uncommon, they significantly contribute to mortality and morbidity.
