Transcatheter closure of a rare coronary artery fistula using a modified mother–child technique
Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are rare abnormal communications between a normal coronary artery and a cardiac chamber or great vessel, such as the pulmonary artery, bypassing the myocardial capillary network.

ABSTRACT Anatomical descriptions of left‐sided oblique coronary branches remain inconsistent, hindering imaging interpretation and surgical planning. To quantify the prevalence, branching patterns and morphometry of the ramus intermedius (RI) and diagonal branches, and propose a unified nomenclature.

Unexpected Dual Left Anterior Descending Artery as a Source of Percutaneous Coronary Revascularization Failure. [PDF]
Dual left anterior descending artery (LAD) is rare. A 61-year-old patient was referred because of angina and a positive stress test. Coronary angiography revealed a short LAD originating from the left main coronary artery.

Motion Mitigation Techniques for Abdominal and Cardiac MR Imaging
ABSTRACT MRI of the heart and abdominal organs provides unparalleled soft tissue contrast and quantitative biomarkers, yet remains highly susceptible to physiological motion. Contractions of the myocardium, respiratory excursions, peristalsis, vascular pulsatility, and unpredictable bulk patient movement generate artifacts that impair image quality ...
