IVUS-Guided PCI for In-Stent Restenosis Using Cutting Balloon and Drug-Coated Balloon: A Case Report
Anno:
2025
Introduction In-stent restenosis (ISR) in calcified lesions poses a significant challenge in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Adequate lesion preparation is crucial to optimize treatment efficacy, particularly when considering Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) angioplasty. Here, we describe a case in which lesion preparation with Cutting Balloon (CB) facilitated calcium modification, enhancing…

Anno:
2025
A 76 years old men presented to the Emergency Department with typical chest pain. Past medical history included post-ischemic dilatated cardiomyopathy not revascularized in diffuse atherosclerotic aneurysmatic coronary artery disease, CRT-D for secondary prevention, permanent atrial fibrillation. During the stay in ED, the patient experienced a syncopal episode. CRT-D interrogation…
PLATYPNEA-ORTHODEOXIA SYNDROME: A CASE REPORT IN PATIENT WITH ACUTE PULMONARY EMBOLISM AND UNRESPONSIVE RESPIRATORY FAILURE
Anno:
2025
Introduction: Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is a condition characterized by positional dyspnea, hypoxiemia and arterial oxygen desaturation triggered by upright position and relieved by supine decubitus. Pathophysiology of POS is based on mixture of deoxygenated venous blood with arterious blood. A Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is the most common cause…

He was referred to our hospital for…
ANOMALOUS CIRCUMFLEX CORONARY ARTERY AND HEREDITARY HEMORRHAGIC TELANGIECTASIA: THE PERFECT INGREDIENTS FOR A STENT THROMBOSIS
Anno:
2025
Anomalous circumflex coronary artery (ACCA) is a rare condition where the origin of the left circumflex artery (LCx) is in the right sinus of Valsava (RSV) or in the proximal right coronary artery (RCA). Part of the group of congenital coronary anomalies (CCA), these anatomical variants carry in some…
AN INSIDIOUS CASE OF DYSPNEA: THE CHALLENGE OF EXPLORING A TUNNEL
Anno:
2025
First described in the mid-20th century, platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is a rare condition characterized by positional shortness of breath and low blood oxygen levels. These features are triggered by standing and alleviated by clinostatism. It is most often linked to right-to-left shunting through a patent foramen ovale (PFO) or…
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation for pure insufficiency in the setting of acute heart failure
Anno:
2025
Background and Aim: Patients affected by acute heart failure with associated severe valvular heart disease exhibit poor prognosis with early reduced late survival. Bridge strategies have been used to stabilize patient in order to perform to the surgical treatment or HTX in best achievable clinical condition. Data on TAVR as bridge…
