Article Abstract
Myocardial revascularization in patients presenting with an anterior mediastinal mass poses considerable challenges. In this report, we outline two cases involving patients with anterior mediastinal masses who underwent surgical resection alongside concurrent myocardial revascularization. One patient underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery, while the other was treated by percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent placement. Both patients fully recovered from the relative procedures and were discharged within two weeks post-surgery, ultimately diagnosed with thymoma. The concomitant intervention offered the advantage of promptly addressing both conditions, and it was performed safely through a collaborative multidisciplinary effort.

Comparison of Vascular Injury From Intravascular Lithotripsy, Cutting, or Ultra-High-Pressure Balloons During Coronary Calcium Modification.

Background: Effective modification of heavily calcified coronary lesions is critical for successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL), cutting balloons (CBs), and ultra-high-pressure balloons (UHBs) are used commonly, yet data comparing their effectiveness and safety for calcified lesion modification remain unavailable.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of IVL, a CB, and a UHB on calcified coronary lesions in human cadaveric arteries, focusing on calcium fracture formation and vascular injury.

Objective: This study aimed to enhance major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) prediction by pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation (PCATa) in non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) patients when combined with lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)).
Methods: A total of 1052 patients with non-obstructive CAD were included. Detailed clinical data and CCTA features were analyzed.
Outcomes of no-touch vs conventionally harvested saphenous veins for coronary artery bypass surgery: A meta-analysis of randomized trials.

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, NY, USA.
Objectives: The no-touch (NT) technique for saphenous vein (SV) harvesting in coronary artery bypass surgery preserves perivascular tissue and has been proposed to improve vein graft patency compared to conventional (CON) harvesting. However, recent large randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have reported conflicting results. We performed a meta-analysis of all available RCTs comparing graft patency and clinical outcomes between NT-SV and CON-SV harvesting techniques.

Objectives: Additional studies are needed on the follow-up outcomes of 1- vs 2-stent techniques in bifurcation percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).
Methods: The authors examined the angiographic and procedural characteristics, and outcomes of 1306 bifurcation PCIs (1139 patients) performed at 6 centers between 2014 and 2024 from the PROGRESS-BIFURCATION registry.
Results: Upfront 1-stent PCI (96.
