Intramyocardial Hematoma After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Chronic Total Occlusion: Two Case Reports

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO) is an extremely challenging procedure, with intramyocardial hematoma (IMH) being one of its rare yet severe complications. In this report, we detail two cases of IMH occurring during PCI for CTO, emphasizing the importance of avoiding catheter pressure entrapment and ...

Vasopressor Therapy

Journal of Clinical Medicine
Vasopressor therapy represents a key part of intensive care patient management, used to increase and maintain vascular tone and thus adequate tissue perfusion in patients with shock. Norepinephrine is the preferred first-line agent because of its reliable vasoconstrictor effects, with minimal impact on heart rate, and its mild inotropic effects ...

A Rare Case of Nitroglycerin Resistant Coronary Arterial Vasospasm During Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Coronary artery vasospasm following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a rare but potentially life‐threatening complication that can lead to myocardial ischemia, arrhythmias, and cardiogenic shock. Nitroglycerin‐resistant vasospasm, particularly involving the left main coronary artery (LMCA), poses significant diagnostic and ...

Vasopressor therapy: not like antibiotics! [PDF]

Intensive Care Medicine, 2016
Dear Editor, We read with interest the publication by Lamontagne et al. [1]. The authors compared the effects of two treatment regimens with different mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) targets on various outcome parameters. In addition to the excellent accompanying editorial, we would like to emphasize two issues.

Pressure‐Wire Guided Hybrid Branch Pulmonary Artery Band Placement for Palliation of Single Ventricle and Critical Congenital Cardiac Lesions

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Historically, bilateral pulmonary artery band (PAB) placement was guided by pulmonary blood flow surrogates including systemic blood pressure (BP) and arterial saturation. These metrics alone may result in suboptimal bPAB placement.

The First‐in‐Man Technique of Drug Eluting and Perfusion Therapy for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Treating ostial left circumflex artery (LCx) lesions in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for left main disease (LMD) remains a challenge. Despite recent recommendations for the use of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) in this lesion, there are concerns about crossover‐stenting from the left main trunk (LMT) to the left anterior ...
