Article Abstract
A middle-aged man in his 50s with a history of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the left main coronary artery (LMCA) and right coronary artery presented with worsening exertional angina. Invasive coronary angiography revealed a significant diffuse lesion distal to the LMCA stent in the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery, prompting a decision to proceed with PCI. During the procedure, the stent detached from the balloon and became lodged at the proximal LMCA stent, resulting in hemodynamic collapse. In an attempt to stabilize the patient, the entire guiding catheter, along with the stent-balloon assembly and coronary wire, was withdrawn through the radial sheath. However, the stent became dislodged and migrated to the right brachial artery. After multiple unsuccessful percutaneous retrieval attempts, surgical removal via brachial arteriotomy was successfully performed.

Background: Previous studies have suggested that the associations between ambient air pollution and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) differ by genotype. A genome-wide approach provides a more comprehensive understanding of this relationship on a genomic scale.
Methods: Using data from ≈300 000 UK Biobank participants, we conducted a genome-wide interaction analysis on 10 745 802 variants.
Large-Scale Proteomics-Based Risk Score for the Prediction of Incident Cardio-Kidney-Metabolic Disease Risk.

Background: Cardio-kidney-metabolic (CKM) disease represents a significant public health challenge. While proteomics-based risk scores (ProtRS) enhance cardiovascular risk prediction, their utility in improving risk prediction for a composite CKM outcome beyond traditional risk factors remains unknown.
Methods: We analyzed 23 815 UK Biobank participants without baseline CKM disease, defined by -Tenth Revision codes as cardiovascular disease (coronary artery disease, heart failure, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, atrial fibrillation/flutter), kidney disease (chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease), or metabolic disease (type 2 diabetes or obesity).

A 71-year-old black male with a history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, history of bladder cancer status-post resection now in remission, history of multiple transient ischemic attacks, and coronary artery disease (CAD) presented with non-exertional substernal chest pain radiating to the left arm, accompanied by shortness of breath and nausea. Initial evaluation revealed elevated troponins and nonspecific electrocardiogram changes, consistent with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography demonstrated severe multivessel disease, including critical left main stenosis.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive accuracy of Paediatric Risk of Mortality-III, Paediatric Index of Mortality-II, and Paediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction scoring systems for major adverse events following congenital heart surgery.
Methods: This prospective observational study included patients under 18 years of age who were admitted to the ICU for at least 24 hours postoperatively following congenital heart surgery. Major adverse events were defined as a composite of 30-day mortality, ICU readmission, reintubation, acute neurologic events, requirement for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, cardiac arrest requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation, need for a permanent pacemaker, acute kidney injury, or unplanned reoperation.
