We report the case of a chronic total occlusion in the left circumflex coronary artery due to the struts of a stent previously placed on the left main artery. The procedure was complicated by detachment of the stent advanced into the culprit lesion within the struts of the previously implanted stent in the left main artery. The extraction of the lost stent was performed using the twisting wire technique, but this operation resulted in a further complication, i.e. avulsion of the previously implanted stent on the left main artery. The case was resolved favorably with the implantation of a new stent on the left main artery and surgical extraction of the retracted stent from the brachial artery.

Background: Geographic stent-ostium mismatch is an important predictor of target lesion failure after percutaneous coronary intervention of an aorto-ostial right coronary artery lesion. Optimal visualization of the aorto-ostial plane is crucial for precise stent implantation at the level of the ostium. This study investigates whether preprocedural 3-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT), with determination of the optimal viewing angle, would allow for more precise stent implantation and reduce procedure time, contrast, and radiation dose.

Introduction: Castleman disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder, subdivided into three types: unicentric Castleman disease, idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease and human herpesvirus-8 (HHV8) associated multicentric Castleman disease. The retroperitoneum comprises only 13 % of the cases.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 36-year-old female who presented with skin lesions in a dermatology clinic.
Hemodynamic investigations on the portal hypertension and treatment of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) based on CFD simulation.

Hemodynamic processes from the portal vein(PV) to the inferior vena cava(IVC) were mimicked for three patients with portal hypertension(PH) and the effects of stent parameters on the outcomes of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS) were investigated through computational fluid dynamics(CFD). The liver region was simulated with porous media model and the spatial distributions of superior mesenteric vein(SMV) and splenic vein(SV) blood were solved through the Eulerian multiphase model. The present method is able to simulate the PH flow and predict the PV pressure, the stent shunt rate and the SMV blood proportion after TIPS treatment.

Background: One of the most serious complications of coronary artery stenting is restenosis and in-stent thrombosis; their prevalence can reach 20-25%. Stent thrombosis can be acute (up to 24 hours), subacute (24 hours to 30 days), late (30 days to 1 year), and very late (> 1 year after previous stenting). In the patients with COVID-19 in intensive care units, the proportion of those with elevated troponin levels reached 25%.

Background: Superior caval vein obstruction is a rare complication of endocardial pacing lead implantation that can result in a right to left shunt.
Case Summary: A 3-year-old child with type 2 Brugada syndrome presented with mild cyanosis post-endocardial pacing implantation due to evolutionary right superior caval vein obstruction. This obstruction resulted in a right to left shunt across a previously unrecognized patent levo-atrial cardinal vein associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage.
