We report a case of 49-year-old woman who presented with acutely worsening episodic abdominal pain. Workup was negative but CT the abdomen showed right upper quadrant omental fat stranding, suggestive necrosis or infarct. Treatment for patient largely supportive pain management and fluid resuscitation.
Coronary artery vasospasm (CAV) is a reversible, transient form of vasoconstriction with clinical manifestations ranging from stable angina to acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Vasospasm epicardial arteries or associated micro-vasculature can lead total subtotal occlusion and has been demonstrated in nearly 50% patients undergoing angiography for suspected ACS. The mechanism CAV described literature, but subgroup presenting intracranial hemorrhage, it appears be multifactorial. These tend have...
Current heart failure guidelines recommend transition of intravenous (IV) diuretics to oral > 24 h prior hospital discharge. The aim this study was determine whether discharge in patients hospitalized with decompensated systolic (SHF) associated improved 30-day events.
Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) have been increasingly utilized end-stage heart failure despite guidelinedirected medical therapy (due to limited organ availability) as a bridge transplant or destination therapy, with improved overall survival.Majority of patients undergoing LVAD implantation pre-existing implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in-situ.We present case device-device interaction resulting in EMI inducing recurrent inappropriate device therapies arrhythmia followed...
We present a case of extensive coronary atherosclerotic disease in younger patient with an anomalous left artery transseptal course and show the utility multimodality evaluation to determine culprit lesion patients presenting this rare association. (Level Difficulty: Intermediate.)
Traumatic carotid artery thrombosis is uncommon and it usually results from penetrating injuries less commonly secondary to blunt trauma. It can lead delayed clinical presentation, which leads delay in the diagnosis. Soldiers combat scenario also present with such an illness, varied modes of injuries. Our case illustrates unusual cause thrombosis.Our patient a 37-year-old soldier who developed neck pain headache following 5 km training run rifle on shoulder subsequently left upper limb...
