POSTINFARCTION VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECT: MANAGEMENT AND A NEW SURGICAL OPTION FOR CLOSURE
Anno:
2023
Postinfarction ventricular septal defect is a rare mechanical complication of myocardial infarction, with difficult management, debated closure timing and high mortality rates. Standard repair techniques – infarcectomy and infarct exclusion through a left ventriculotomy – are surgically challenging and have high risk of operative mortality and frequently suboptimal results. We…
THE UNEXPECTED CONSEQUENCES OF A 30 METERS FALL
Anno:
2023
Introduction: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a rare but often lethal consequence of a blunt cardiac trauma. Falls leading to coronary artery dissections are rare, thus underlining the lack of experience in their management. Case report description: a 55-year-old male patient with type 2 diabetes and no relevant past medical history was admitted…
INTRAMYOCARDIAL HAEMATOMA AS A COMPLICATION OF ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
Anno:
2023
A 72-year-old overweight man, with known hypertension and dyslipidaemia, had an episode of high intensity chest pain, which appeared at rest and lasted for several hours. A few days later, he underwent a cardiological examination and the electrocardiogram showed normofrequent sinus rhythm, ST elevation of 3 mm and Q…
Gender gap in time to ST-elevation myocardial infarction diagnosis: a retrospective cohort study
Anno:
2023
Introduction Timely reperfusion with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) must be the standard of care, irrespective of gender. Current guidelines mandate a door-to-balloon time of less than 90 minutes from STEMI diagnosis to wire crossing. However, coronary artery disease is characterized by…
A CHALLENGING CASE OF MINOCA
Anno:
2023
Myocardial infarction in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA) accounts for 5-6% of all myocardial infarctions. The causes that can lead to this diagnosis are many and not always clearly identifiable; in fact, despite optimal work-up, the cause of MINOCA remains undetermined in 8-25% of patients and…
