Contemporary and Emerging Therapies in the Management of Refractory Angina: A Clinical Review
ABSTRACT Refractory angina (RA) represents a growing challenge in clinical cardiology, particularly in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy and who are not candidates for revascularization.

ABSTRACT Background Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is an uncommon but serious complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, often misinterpreted as primary pulmonary disease. Timely identification is essential to prevent irreversible injury and to guide appropriate referral for interventional management. Case Presentations Through the discussion of

Transparavertebral Occlusion of a Large Venovenous Collateral in a Fontan Patient
ABSTRACT Patients with a univentricular heart following completion of the Fontan circulation often experience varying degrees of desaturation due to the formation of venovenous collaterals. We present a rare case of a Fontan patient with an enlarged azygous vein shunting into the pulmonary venous system, causing significant desaturation. As no standard

Recanalization of Thrombosed Atrial Flow Regulator in Failing Fontan: A Bridge to Transplant
ABSTRACT We report the case of a 10‐year‐old boy (41 kg, 133 cm) with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (mitral and aortic atresia), who underwent staged palliation: Norwood‐Sano at 6 days, Glenn at 7 months, and Fontan completion at 3 years using a 16 mm non‐fenestrated extracardiac Gore‐Tex conduit.

Association of COPD with adverse outcomes in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction
Abstract We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis to detect the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on the prognosis of heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We systematically screened eligible literature from three electronic databases, PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library, up to April 2023.
