Article Abstract

We describe the repair of the postoperative left main stem stenosis of a 24-day old male patient who initially underwent arterial switch operation for dextro-transposition of the great arteries. The repair was facilitated by using an autologous left innominate vein patch, while there was a shortage of suitable repair material in this neonate. Postoperative echocardiogram prior to discharge confirmed a satisfactory flow through the left main stem and improved left ventricle function.

A 71-year-old black male with a history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, history of bladder cancer status-post resection now in remission, history of multiple transient ischemic attacks, and coronary artery disease (CAD) presented with non-exertional substernal chest pain radiating to the left arm, accompanied by shortness of breath and nausea. Initial evaluation revealed elevated troponins and nonspecific electrocardiogram changes, consistent with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography demonstrated severe multivessel disease, including critical left main stenosis.

Clin Rheumatol

September 2025

Division of Rheumatology, Department of Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic, 200 First St SW, Rochester, MN, 55906, USA.

Objectives: IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) can affect multiple organ systems, with coronary artery involvement being rare. Coronary periarteritis may lead to complications such as myocardial infarction and ischemic cardiomyopathy. This case series characterizes the clinical and radiological features, complications, and treatment strategies in patients with IgG4-RD-associated coronary periarteritis.

Rationale: There are insufficient data to inform the management of central sleep apnea (CSA) in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Nocturnal oxygen therapy (NOT) has been postulated to benefit CSA patients with HFrEF, but has not been rigorously studied.
