Herein, we describe the rare anatomy of an abnormal shunt from the left atrium to the coronary sinus, which ruptured during a percutaneous ablation for atrial fibrillation. The iatrogenic lesion was successfully repaired after emergent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation set up followed by surgical exploration. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and she was regularly followed up without any complications.

Prevalence of anomalies and variants of coronary arteries: A single center study by coronary CT angiography.
Clin Imaging

Purpose: It has been demonstrated that the coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) are generally asymptomatic. However, some cases can cause severe life threatening events. As coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has emerged as a non-invasive alternative to invasive coronary angiography for the evaluation of coronary anatomy, the prevalence of CAAs in CCTA may more closely reflect the true prevalence in the general population.

Transcoronary study of biomarkers in patients with heart failure: Insights into intracardiac production.
ESC Heart Fail
December 2024
Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, Beijing, China.
Aims: Biomarkers are pivotal in the management of heart failure (HF); however, their lack of cardiac specificity could limit clinical utility. This study aimed to investigate the transcoronary changes and intracardiac production of these biomarkers.
Methods: Transcoronary gradients for B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and five novel biomarkers-galectin-3 (Gal-3), soluble suppression of tumourigenicity 2 (sST2), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1), growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) and myeloperoxidase (MPO)-were determined using femoral artery (FA) and coronary sinus (CS) samples from 30 HF patients and 10 non-HF controls.

Introduction: Many studies have shown that coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) increases the survival rate of patients, but the effect of bypass grafting on cardiac function is still a matter of debate.
Objective: The objective of our study was to determine: a. To what extent can the change in coronary sinus flow be used as an intraoperative criterion for the assessment of adequate revascularization.
