Article Abstract
Vascular events in patients with coarctation of the aorta have been extensively reported and account for the majority of morbidity and mortality in untreated patients. The exact mechanism for this association is not completely understood and may include acquired anomalies or congenital abnormalities of intracranial vessel. Here we report a case of intracranial internal carotid artery dissection with subsequent formation of acquired large carotid aneurysm in a child with severe systemic hypertension and coarctation of the aorta. Endovascular aneurysm exclusion was pursued and it was able to control this potentially lethal complication. This case supports the notion of acquired nature of intracranial vessel abnormalities and underscores the clinical role of interventional neuroradiology in a subset of patients with congenital heart disease.

Aims: Fetal circulation undergoes complex changes in congenital heart disease (CHD) that are challenging to assess with fetal echocardiography. This study aimed to assess clinical feasibility and diagnostic value of 4D flow cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in fetal CHD.
Methods And Results: Pregnant women in advanced third trimester pregnancy with fetal CHD were prospectively recruited for fetal CMR between 08/2021 and 11/2024.

Background: Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is a rare but serious inflammatory disease of the heart that should be considered for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) supportive therapy when it occurs. The diagnosis of FM is made more difficult in the context of Marfan's syndrome combined with aortic root dilation. We report a case of a patient on ECMO support and with comorbid Marfan's syndrome who was finally diagnosed with FM after computed tomography angiography (CTA) differentiated between FM, coronary artery disease, and aortic root dilation.

tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs that are generated by cleavage of precursors or mature tRNAs under stress conditions such as hypoxia, oxidative stress and nutrient deficiency. Recent breakthroughs in RNA sequencing technology have revealed their association with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including myocardial infarction (MI), atherosclerosis, cardiac hypertrophy, aortic coarctation, and pulmonary arterial hypertension. tsRNAs play important biological functions in these diseases, including the inhibition of apoptosis, epigenetic modification, intercellular signaling mediation, translation, and regulation of gene expression.

Background: Pulmonary hypertension is associated with cardiovascular events, but when assessed at rest, it has limited sensitivity. Pulmonary vascular reserve can be assessed noninvasively using exercise echocardiography, but this has not been studied in adults with coarctation of aorta (COA). We hypothesized that adults with COA had worse pulmonary vascular reserve compared to controls, and that impaired pulmonary vascular reserve was associated with clinical indices of disease severity independent right ventricular (RV) indices at rest.
