The comparison of outcomes of robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting (RA-CABG) vs. stenting techniques (ostial or crossover stenting) for ostial left anterior descending (LAD) artery lesions is still lacking. This retrospective study sought to determine the midterm outcomes of RA-CABG, crossover stenting (CS), and ostial stent implantation (OSI) in patients with ostial LAD disease.

Culotte stenting is one of the most commonly used bifurcation stenting techniques. Double kissing mini-culotte (DKC) stenting, a modified version of culotte stenting, is currently recommended by clinical guidelines. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of DKC and mini-culotte (MC) techniques in true non-left main coronary bifurcation lesions (CBLs).

Given the bleeding risk associated with full-dose intravenous thrombolytic treatment and the absence of randomized clinical trial evidence, current guidelines do not recommend reperfusion treatments as first-line therapy for intermediate-high risk (IHR) pulmonary embolism (PE). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-assisted catheter-directed thrombolysis (USAT) compared to anticoagulation therapy alone in patients with IHR PE.

A 70-year-old male patient was admitted to the cardiology outpatient clinic with gradually worsening dyspnea on exertion and lower extremity edema for the last 3 months. The patient’s functional capacity was New York Heart Association class III. It was learned that the patient was diagnosed with bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome 5 years ago. He had no additional chronic disease. There was no medication he used. There is no known cardiac disease in his family. On physical exam, his blood pressure was 115/70, heart rate 72 beats/min with regular rhythm. He had a grade 2/6 systolic murmur and severe pretibial edema. For 3 years, he has also reported paresthesia in the feet and hands.

Atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATa) during the blanking period (BP) may predict late recurrences of arrhythmia. This study evaluates the outcomes of redo procedures during BP in patients with early recurrence after catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF).
