Background: Undiagnosed and untreated atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) can result in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). To obtain an accurate diagnosis, it is crucial to recognize the symptoms and signs suggesting renal artery stenosis (RAS) and perform appropriate diagnostic and treatment procedures afterward.

Case Presentation: We present a case of a 60-year-old female patient with hypertensive crisis, acute heart failure (HF), and pulmonary edema as the initial signs of acute kidney injury (AKI) caused by right RAS and left renal artery occlusion in the presence of severe aortic atherosclerosis revealed on computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the abdomen.

Background: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction, often triggered by emotional or physical stress. It usually presents with clinical features similar to acute coronary syndrome, making its occurrence following elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) challenging to diagnose and treat.

Case Summary: A 67-year-old man with ischaemic heart disease and recurrent angina underwent elective PCI of the right coronary artery.

Kawasaki Disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis that can lead to coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) in up to 10% of treated cases, significantly increasing the risk of thrombosis and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). While thrombolytic therapy is commonly used in adult coronary syndromes, its application in pediatric KD remains poorly studied. We report a 9-month-old infant with KD and giant CAA complicated by a subocclusive thrombus in the left anterior descending artery (LAD).

Bone or cartilage anomalies affecting the arteries supplying the brain can be a structural cause of ischemic stroke. Due to their rarity, there is currently no standardized approach for evaluating and treating these so-called bony strokes. We present a case of a 79-year-old woman with a history of cranial settling due to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and moderate disability, who presented with insidious dizziness and gait disturbances over three weeks.

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.
