Article Abstract
We report the clinical case of a patient with acute myocardial infarction due to coronary stent compression as first manifestation of a large thymoma. The patient underwent a coronarography and thrombus aspiration + plain old balloon angioplasty restoring the stent patency. The mass resection was performed through left robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS), resulting in a type A thymoma pT1a, IIb Masaoka-Koga. An uncommon presentation led to early diagnosis and treatment of a thymoma with both oncological and functional significance.

Background And Aims: Cold weather is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, but its impact on culprit plaque characteristics in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains unclear.
Methods: This study included 647 STEMI patients who underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess untreated culprit lesions. Participants were grouped based on ambient temperature on the day of admission or mean ambient temperatures over the preceding 7-, 14-, 21-, and 28-day periods.

Background: The hemodynamic effects of femoro-femoral venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) remain poorly defined. High ECMO flow is believed to increase PCWP and the risk of pulmonary edema; yet, supporting in vivo physiological data are lacking.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of incremental femoro-femoral VA-ECMO flow variations on PCWP, hemodynamic, and echocardiographic parameters in patients with cardiogenic shock during the early phase of VA-ECMO support, after stabilization.

Background: Early reperfusion therapy is critical in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, limitations in resources and patient-level and system-level barriers delay the administration of reperfusion therapy. This study evaluated the impact of an integrated care strategy for STEMI management in China.

Importance/background: The 12-lead ECG is recommended in clinical guidelines for prehospital assessment of patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS) presenting to Emergency Medical Services (EMS).
Objectives: To determine prehospital ECG (PHECG) utilisation since UK national rollout of primary percutaneous coronary intervention, and whether this is associated with clinical outcomes in patients with ACS.
Design: Population-based, linked cohort study using Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project data from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2017, related to patients with ACS conveyed by the EMS to hospital in England and Wales.
