Project description:A coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an abnormal vascular connection between the coronary arteries and the cardiac chambers or major vessels. Although rare, CAFs can lead to substantial coronary morbidity and mortality. This study outlines the surgical management of a CAF originating from the left coronary artery and connecting to the right atrium, in a patient experiencing angina with a marked left-to-right shunt. The surgical approach involved ligation of the coronary artery and reduction of the aneurysmal portion, resulting in the patient's uneventful recovery.

MERSCOPE profiling of non-aneurysmal and aneurysmal human ascending aorta

Project description:Single-molecule level spatial distribution of MERFISH (Multiplexed error-robust fluorescence in situ hybridization) probes targeting 140 genes were analyzed on two control (non-aneurysmal) samples and three TAA samples with Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA).

Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

Project description:Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is a neurologic emergency that requires immediate patient stabilization and prompt diagnosis and treatment. Early measures should focus on principles of advanced cardiovascular life support. The aneurysm should be evaluated and treated in a comprehensive stroke center by a multidisciplinary team capable of endovascular and, operative approaches. Once the aneurysm is secured, the patient is best managed by a dedicated neurocritical care service to prevent and manage complications, including a syndrome of delayed neurologic decline. The goal of such specialized care is to prevent secondary injury, reduce length of stay, and improve outcomes for survivors of the disease.

Pseudo Atrium?: A Rare Presentation of Interventricular Septal Dissection Extending Into the Left Atrium.

Project description:Interventricular septal dissection is a rare complication of myocardial infarction. In cases with few left-to-right shunts in the ventricular septal perforation, interventricular septal dissection expands in the chronic phase. It is rare for the interventricular septal dissection to extend from the ventricular septum to the left atrial free wall. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
