Background: Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) refers to a puzzling clinical entity that is characterized by symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome, demonstrates troponin elevation with inconclusive coronary angiogram. The underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms include atherosclerotic cause or non-atherosclerotic causes, such as coronary dissection or coronary embolus. A…
Safety and efficacy of PFO closure devices implantation and clinical outcomes: a single-center long-term review.

Introduction. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is present in up to 25% of the general population, and it is a relevant cause of cryptogenic stroke. The current standard of care for selected patients with PFO and cryptogenic stroke is transcatheter closure, but the risk of post-closure-new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) has…
A CASE OF PARADOXICAL PULMONARY EMBOLISM AS CAUSE OF RENAL INFARCTION: IT’S TIME FOR USAT
Anno:
2024
Case report: a 67 years old Angolan woman was referred to our hospital for worsen dyspnea, palpitation and left flank pain while walking. She had no relevant medical history and her only cardiovascular (CV) risk factor was hypertension. For high suspicion of pulmonary embolism (PE), an abdominal-thoracic CT was…
Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale after a failed device-closure attempt: a high-volume single centre experience
Anno:
2024
Introduction: Persistence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been associated with cryptogenic stroke due to a paradoxical systemic embolism. In these cases, a percutaneous closure allows to decrease the risk of redo cerebral ischemic events. However, the presence of a complex anatomy might prevent a correct device-deployment with a…
A CURIOUS CASE OF CRYPTOGENIC MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
Anno:

We report a case explanatory of a rare cause of MINOCA, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive…
