Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is a congenital coronary artery anomaly comprising 0.5% of all CHDs. Stenosis in the left coronary artery implanted in the sinus valsalva is one of the complications of surgical repair.Management of coronary stenosis after surgery is very critical and difficult, especially in newborns and infants. Transcatheter procedures can be lifesaving. Herein, the coronary stenting procedure applied to a 3-month-old patient with post-surgical coronary stenosis is presented.

Emotional Stress in Cardiac and Vascular Diseases.
Curr Vasc Pharmacol
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Ippokrateio University Hospital, Athens, Greece.
Introduction/objective: Emotional, mental, or psychological distress, defined as increased symptoms of depression, anxiety, and/or stress, is common in patients with chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD).
Methods: Literature was reviewed regarding data from studies and meta-analyses examining the impact of emotional stress on the occurrence and outcome of several CVDs (coronary disease, heart failure, hypertension, arrhythmias, stroke). These influences' pathophysiology and clinical spectrum are detailed, tabulated, and pictorially illustrated.
Coronary Intervention Outcomes in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis.
Curr Cardiol Rep
January 2025
Division of Cardiology, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA.
Purpose Of Review: This review assesses the outcomes of coronary interventions in patients with liver cirrhosis and coronary artery disease (CAD), focusing on the clinical challenges posed by cirrhosis-related hemodynamic and coagulopathic changes. It highlights essential considerations for managing these patients, who have an increased risk of adverse events during coronary procedures.
Recent Findings: Recent studies have shown that patients with liver cirrhosis undergoing PCI experience significantly higher mortality rates compared to non-cirrhotic patients, particularly in the context of STEMI and NSTEMI.
Novel Selective Cardiac Myosin-Targeted Inhibitors Alleviate Myocardial Ischaemia-Reperfusion Injury.
Cardiovasc Drugs Ther

The Hatter Cardiovascular Institute, University College London, 67 Chenies Mews, London, WC1E 6HX, UK.
Purpose: Reperfusion of the ischaemic heart is essential to limit myocardial infarction. However, reperfusion can cause cardiomyocyte hypercontracture. Recently, cardiac myosin-targeted inhibitors (CMIs), such as Mavacamten (MYK-461) and Aficamten (CK-274), have been developed to treat patients with cardiac hypercontractility.

Pharmacotherapeutic options for coronary thrombosis treatment: where are we today?
Expert Opin Pharmacother
January 2025
Cardiovascular Research Unit, Division of Clinical Medicine, School of Medicine and Population Health, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK.
Introduction: Advances in pharmacotherapy for coronary thrombosis treatment and prevention have transformed the clinical outcomes of patients with coronary artery disease but increased the complexity of therapeutic decision-making. Improvements in percutaneous coronary intervention techniques and stent design have reduced the incidence of thrombotic complications, which consequently has increased the challenge of adequately powering clinical trials of novel antithrombotic strategies for efficacy outcomes. Knowledge of the pathophysiology of coronary thrombosis and the characteristics of antithrombotic drugs can help with therapeutic decisions.
