Behçet's disease with concomitant thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), coronary artery stenosis and coronary artery pseudo aneurysm is rare. Here we report a case of Behçet's disease with several cardiovascular complications, namely: pericarditis, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), TTP, coronary artery stenosis, and a coronary artery pseudo aneurysm. A 37-year-old female presented with sudden dy...

Complications related to coronary sinus lead are not infrequent in recipients of cardiac resynchronization devices. We describe the case of a patient with a biventricular implantable cardioverter defibrillator with persistent phrenic nerve stimulation, previous coronary sinus lead fracture, and severe left subclavian vein stenosis. The reimplantation of a new coronary sinus lead on the left sid...

Situs inversus totalis is a rare congenital anomaly. We report a case of a 78-year-old woman with this condition and ischemic coronary artery disease who underwent myocardial revascularization. The cardiac catheterism showed severe proximal stenosis with aneurysms in the anterior interventricular branch, diagonal artery, and right coronary artery. The procedure was done with the surgeon positio...

INTRODUCTION Central vein stenosis is not a rare problem in patients on dialysis. Placement of a central vein catheter for dialysis access substantially increases the risk of central vein stenosis. However, even in patients without a previous history of central vein catheter placement, a stenosis can be found in up to 40% of patients. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 60-year-old male...

introduction aortic surgery has made much progress recently. yet the combination of aortic surgery and coronary artery bypass grafting has remained a major issue for the surgeons. patient and observation herein, we present a case of severe aortic insufficiency with aortic aneurysm concomitant with single coronary artery disease on the right coronary artery. the patient underwent bentall procedu...

Central vein stenosis/occlusion is a common well-described sequel to the placement of hemodialysis catheters in the central venous system. The precise mechanisms by which central vein stenosis occurs are not well known. Current concepts in central vein stenosis pathophysiology focus on the response to vessel injury model, emphasizing the process of trauma. A case of left brachiocephalic vein st...

S everal studies have shown the safety of MRI after coronary stenting; however, few of them included patients soon after stenting. In this report, we describe a case of MRI-induced stent dislodgment from left main coronary artery (LMCA) 2 weeks after stenting. A 56-year-old woman underwent coronary angiography for recurrence of angina 12 months after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Corona...
