Article Abstract
Transcatheter embolization is an important tool in the treatment of pulmonary artery and bronchial artery pseudoaneurysms, malformations, and hemorrhage. Migration of coils, particularly through erosion into the associated bronchus, is a rare but known potential complication after the use of intravascular embolization coils in the pulmonary vasculature. Here we present a case of migration of segmental pulmonary artery coils through the right lower lobe bronchus and proximally through the vocal cords, causing significant symptoms of discomfort, hemoptysis, and ongoing expectoration of coils necessitating thoracoscopic right lower lobectomy.

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly. Its clinical course is typically severe in infancy, leading to left ventricular ischemia, cardiogenic shock, and high mortality without surgical intervention.We describe a rare case of a 3-year-old girl diagnosed with ALCAPA, showing extensive right-to-left collaterals, preserved left ventricular function, and minimal myocardial injury.

Purpose: To establish an explainable machine learning (ML) approach using patient-related and noncontrast chest CT-derived features to predict the contrast material arrival time (TARR) in CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA).
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included consecutive patients referred for CTPA between September 2023 to October 2024. Sixteen clinical and 17 chest CT-derived parameters were used as inputs for the ML approach, which employed recursive feature elimination for feature selection and XGBoost with SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) for explainable modeling.

Disruption of the central venous port catheter was identified on the chest radiograph of a 36-year-old woman who had undergone chemotherapy following resection of her colon cancer. Computed tomography revealed that the catheter was impacted in the peripheral pulmonary artery. Instead of using a snare wire, a balloon catheter was inserted into the lumen of the disrupted catheter due to its tight lodging in the pulmonary artery.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a common surgical approach for advanced coronary artery disease unresponsive to conservative or percutaneous treatments. Despite its benefits in symptom relief and long-term outcomes, CABG is associated with notable postoperative respiratory complications. As such, respiratory physiotherapy plays a crucial role in recovery.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), comprising deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), constitutes a significant global health concern due to its substantial morbidity and mortality, especially among hospitalized and surgical individuals. DVT commonly presents in the lower extremities with symptoms such as calf pain, swelling potentially spreading to the ankle and foot, localized warmth, and skin discoloration. PTE, arising from acute pulmonary artery obstruction by a thrombus, frequently manifests as sudden dyspnea, chest pain, tachycardia, diaphoresis, hemoptysis, and lightheadedness, posing a life-threatening emergency demanding prompt medical intervention.
