Congenital coronary anomalies are mostly asymptomatic, detected accidentally during invasive or non-invasive imaging. One of the least encountered of such anomalies is single coronary ostium. Considering the fact that the whole myocardium is perfused by a single coronary vessel, performing percutaneous coronary stenting is a challenge for interventional cardiologists with some authors even considering it as a contraindication. Here we present a rare case of single coronary artery as a result of terminal extension of right coronary artery from left circumflex artery, for whom successful balloon angioplasty and stenting of left anterior descending artery after myocardial infarction was done. < Single coronary artery is a rare congenital anomaly which poses a challenge for an interventional cardiologist in the event of complications during intervention and is even considered to be a contraindication for percutaneous intervention by some authors. Hereby we present a successful left anterior descending stenting after acute myocardial infarction in a case of single coronary artery.>.

Forensic diagnosis of sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an extremely important part of routine forensic practice. The present study aimed to develop and validate nomograms for predicting the probability of SCD with special regards to ischemic heart disease-induced SCD (IHD-induced SCD) based on multiple autopsy variables. A total of 3322 cases, were enrolled and randomly assigned into a training cohort (n = 2325) and a validation cohort (n = 997), respectively.

Background: Several randomized clinical trials have shown that the composite endpoint of death, stroke, and myocardial infarction (MI) is equivalent between carotid artery stenting and carotid endarterectomy. However, the risk of minor stroke has been consistently higher with carotid artery stenting.
Objectives: The authors sought to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a novel carotid stent system comprised of a stent, an adjustable integrated embolic filter and a postdilation balloon, in patients at elevated risk for adverse events from carotid endarterectomy.

Background: Safe and effective pediatric blood pumps continue to lag far behind those developed for adults. To address this growing unmet clinical need, we are developing a hybrid, continuous-flow, magnetically levitated, pediatric total artificial heart (TAH). Our hybrid TAH design, the Dragon Heart (DH), integrates both an axial flow and centrifugal flow blood pump within a single, compact housing.

Heart failure (HF) remains a significant public health issue, with heart transplantation (HT) being the gold standard treatment for end-stage HF. The increasing use of mechanical circulatory support, particularly left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), as a bridge to transplant (BTT), presents new perspectives for increasingly complex clinical scenarios. This study aimed to compare long-term clinical outcomes in patients in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) receiving an LVAD as BTT to those undergoing direct-to-transplant (DTT) without mechanical support, focusing on survival and post-transplant complications.
