A woman in her 50s developed acute coronary syndrome with de Winter pattern electrocardiogram (ECG). A coronary angiography revealed diagonal branch lesion caused by spontaneous coronary artery dissection, whereas the left-anterior descending artery was intact. The ECG change was transient and returned to normal without treatment 2 h later. ().

Percutaneous coil embolization of a post-traumatic left anterior descending coronary artery pseudoaneurysm: a case report.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
December 2024
Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, University of Miami, Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, 1400 NW 12th Ave, Miami, FL 33136, USA.
Background: Coronary artery pseudoaneurysm (PSA) is a rare occurrence linked to percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), infection, or chest trauma, lacking established management guidelines due to its low incidence.
Case Summary: A 78-year-old male with a medical history of triple vessel disease, post coronary artery bypass grafting, heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, presented with intractable left-sided chest pain following a mechanical fall. The initial workup was positive for mildly elevated high-sensitivity troponin and brain natriuretic peptide raising suspicion for a pulmonary embolism; but chest computed tomography angiography revealed an enlarging pericardial haematoma.
Severe Myocardial Bridging-Induced Total Occlusion of the Left Anterior Descending (LAD) Artery Mimicking Wellens' Syndrome: A Case Report.

Cardiology, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, Manipal, IND.
Article Synopsis
- - A 66-year-old man experienced increasing exertional chest pain, quickly worsening from NYHA class 2 to class 3, prompting medical investigation despite the lack of a clear trigger.
- - ECG results indicated changes typical of Wellens' syndrome, usually linked to serious left anterior descending artery blockages, yet initial checks showed no significant atherosclerosis.
- - Advanced imaging techniques, including coronary angiography and cardiac CT, identified a severe myocardial bridge in the LAD artery, highlighting the need to consider congenital anomalies in cardiac diagnosis and the importance of early recognition for effective treatment.
Successful Management of Periprocedural Coronary Extravasation Using Liquid Embolic Agent n-Hexyl-Cyanoacrylate.
J Cardiovasc Dev Dis
November 2024
Faculty of Medicine, Clinic of Cardiac and Vascular Diseases, Vilnius University, 01513 Vilnius, Lithuania.
Article Synopsis
- A case report details a 75-year-old man with a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction who underwent successful stent implantation but experienced a side branch perforation during the procedure.
- The perforation was effectively treated with intracoronary cyanoacrylate glue, showing that this method may be a safe option for managing similar complications in PCI.
Morphological analysis of coronary arteries with emphasis on myocardial bridges and triangle of Brocq and Mouchet.
Clin Ter
November 2024
Department of Anatomy, Kasturba Medical College Mangalore, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Karnataka, Manipal, 576104, India.
Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to investigate the anatomy of coronary arteries in Indian cadavers, focusing on their origin, course, and branching, particularly in relation to Brocq and Mouchet's triangle, along with the prevalence of specific structures like Kugel's artery and myocardial bridges.
- - Researchers analyzed 30 hearts, discovering that 83% were right dominant, with varying characteristics of Kugel's artery (30%), third coronary artery (14%), and myocardial bridges (7%), as well as significant variations in the left coronary artery (LCA) branching patterns.
- - The findings provided detailed insight into coronary artery morphology, underscoring the need for larger sample sizes for more comprehensive interpretation of the data.
Recurrent Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissections in a Male Patient With Fibromuscular Dysplasia.
Cureus
October 2024
Cardiology, University of California San Francisco, Fresno, Fresno, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare form of acute coronary syndrome that mainly affects young and middle-aged women, but can also occur in young men, especially those with fibromuscular dysplasia.
- A case is presented involving a young man with fibromuscular dysplasia who experienced recurrent SCAD in the right coronary artery despite receiving conservative treatment.
- The study emphasizes the need for more research on the underlying mechanisms of SCAD in men and the development of effective medical therapies for preventing recurrent episodes.
