Article Abstract
An 83-year-old patient, with prior history of coronary artery disease treated by coronary-artery bypass graft with left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to the left anterior descending artery (2001) and angioplasty of the right coronary artery (2012) and prior pacemaker through left subclavian vein (2014), was referred to coronary angiography for an anterior silent ischemia. It found no evolving lesion on the native coronary artery network (compared with 2012 review) but revealed an external compression of the LIMA bridge by the pacemaker lead. Conservative treatment was chosen rather than explantation and reimplantation of stimulus material or LIMA angioplasty. < This case highlights the interest for preferential use of the cephalic pathway in patients with left internal mammary bypass graft undergoing cardiac pacing.>.

Prevalence of Bundle Branch Block and Axis Deviation in Permanent Atrial Fibrillation and Gender Differences.
Ann Noninvasive Electrocardiol

Objective: To investigate two conditions that have been poorly investigated in the medical literature before in the context of atrial fibrillation: the coexistence and association of right or left bundle branch block and axis deviation in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation compared to the control group of healthy subjects with sinus rhythm.
Material And Methods: We conducted an analytic, retrospective observational study performed at Ziv Medical Center, Safed, Israel, collecting data from medical history records of all patients that have been diagnosed with permanent atrial fibrillation versus healthy controlled patients with normal sinus rhythm. We analyzed their ECGs in order to assess the presence of any bundle branch block and/or axis deviation.
Epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of atrial functional mitral regurgitation: An expert opinion paper.
ESC Heart Fail
September 2025
Institute of Cardiology, ASST Spedali Civili, Department of Medical and Surgical Specialties, Radiological Sciences, and Public Health, University of Brescia, Brescia, Italy.
Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) is an increasingly recognized subtype of mitral regurgitation, characterized by left atrial remodelling and mitral annular dilation in the absence of primary mitral valve disease or left ventricular dysfunction. Closely linked to chronic atrial fibrillation and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, AFMR is associated with poor clinical outcomes and represents a growing therapeutic challenge. This expert opinion paper summarizes current evidence on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and management strategies, including medical therapy and emerging data supporting surgical and transcatheter interventions in selected patients.

Understanding how athletes mentally simulate and anticipate actions provides key insights into experience-driven brain plasticity. While previous studies have investigated motor imagery and action anticipation separately, little is known about how their underlying neural mechanisms converge or diverge in expert performers. This study conducted a meta-analysis using activation likelihood estimation (ALE) and meta-analytic connectivity modeling (MACM) to compare brain activation patterns between athletes and non-athletes across both tasks.

Introduction: There are no reports of patients undergoing McKeown esophagectomy for esophageal cancer after undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer. We report the case of a patient who underwent subtotal esophagectomy and colon reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy using the mesenteric approach.
Case Presentation: A 71-year-old male was diagnosed with advanced esophageal cancer.

Background: The causal relationship between migraines and patent foramen ovale (PFO) remains controversial, and a major unresolved question is how to define migraines attributable to PFO. Thus, this study aimed to determine if brain lesions could be a potential indicator of PFO-related migraines.
Methods: Consecutive migraine patients from 2017 to 2019 who underwent transthoracic echocardiography or transcranial Doppler examination with an agitated saline contrast injection were assessed for right-to-left shunts.
