Contemporary use of coils during percutaneous coronary intervention: from the multicenter COILSEAL registry
Anno:
2025
Background. Use of coils during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) is sometimes life-saving and useful although currently off-label and with unknown clinical outcomes Objectives. To report and compare in-hospital and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing coils implantation for treating coronary perforation or closing coronary aneurysms/fistulas. Methods. Among 245.652 PCIs performed in 17 high-volume…
Coronary revascularization in a hemophilic patient: mast the challenge
Anno:
2025
Background: Acute coronary syndrome in patients with hemophilia is a rare but challenging scenario since a double high risk of thrombotic and bleeding complications has to be faced (fig.1). Case report: We present the case of a 64-years-old man admitted to our department for NSTEMI with a mildly reduced left ventricle ejection…
META-ANALYTIC REVIEW OF PERIOPERATIVE INFARCTION AFTER CARDIAC SURGERY
Anno:
2025
INTRODUCTION:   Perioperative infarction (PMI) after cardiac surgery is a non-rare event requiring complex multidisciplinary management. The Third Universal Definition of MI defines type 5 MI as an elevation of cardiac troponin values ​​>10× 99th percentile during the first 48 h following CABG surgery. PMI often requires coronary angiography…
THE UNUSUAL CASE OF ATRIO-VENTRICULAR BLOCK TREATED WITH CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS: UNMASKING CORONARY VASOSPASM
Anno:
2025
Background: ST-segment elevation is typically associated with acute coronary syndromes; however, it can also mask less common conditions, such as coronary vasospasm. Ischemia caused by coronary vasospasm can not only mimic myocardial infarction but also lead to conduction abnormalities, including atrioventricular block.This case highlights the diagnostic challenges posed by…
A shocking debulking
Anno:
2025
An 80-year-old male patient was admitted for symptomatic congestive heart failure, presenting with progressive dyspnea (NYHA class III). He has type 2 diabetes and moderate chronic kidney disease, and his cardiological history includes post-infarction dilated cardiomyopathy, permanent atrial fibrillation, and a surgical aortic valve replacement with a bio-prosthesis. An…
THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF UNSTABLE NON-STENOTIC PLAQUES: NOT EVERYTHING IS VISIBLE TO THE EYES
Anno:
2025
INTRODUCTION: Complications of non-stenotic unstable plaques, such as cracks, erosions, or ruptures, represent an insidious cause of ACS and are sometimes difficult to diagnose without the aid of intracoronary imaging. CLINICAL CASE: A 72-year-old male presented to the emergency department with persistent chest pain associated with cold sweating. His…
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…
