Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Large atrial thrombi can be managed percutaneously. We present a case of a 76-year-old female patient who presented to our emergency room with an acute stroke and was managed with mechanical thrombectomy. Further work-up revealed a large complex thrombus in-transit trapped in a patent foramen ovale with a large mobile portion in the left atrium. Due to contraindications for thrombolysis and poor surgical candidacy, an endovascular approach was favored. The procedure was performed successfully, and the patient recovered uneventfully.
Learning Objective: Endovascular approach with mechanical thrombectomy can be a treatment option for patients that present with large thrombus in-transit when other therapies are contraindicated.

September 2025
Carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCF) are indirect or direct vascular shunts between vessels of the cavernous sinus and the carotid artery. While indirect CCFs have high rates of spontaneous resolution, direct CCF cases can result in significant orbital and neurological sequelae. This case describes a 75-year-old male patient presenting with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage secondary to a Barrow type-D CCF.

Suboptimal care for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in low- and middle-income countries is a significant problem. Registries from Latin America, Africa, and Asia show that less than 65% of patients receive reperfusion therapy, and widespread treatment delays and a lack of access to optimal therapies lead to preventable deaths and complications. While current guidelines provide a blueprint for care, their implementation in low-resource settings requires specific guidance that considers geographical, logistical, and economic realities.

Retroperitoneal hemorrhage in patients with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is uncommon, and its optimal management remains controversial because both surgical and endovascular interventions carry substantial risks. A 36-year-old man with vEDS presented with persistent upper abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a massive retroperitoneal hematoma, approximately 20 cm in size, with a pseudoaneurysm in a mesenteric artery branch but without contrast extravasation.

The rate of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is steadily rising in the United States, and older adults (ie, 65 years and older) represent the fastest-growing segment in need of hemodialysis. This demographic shift presents unique challenges due to age-related comorbidities, frailty, and increased procedural risks. Despite these challenges, there is limited guidance for risk stratification and management of renal replacement therapy in older patients with ESKD.
