Article Abstract
Background: Cardiogenic shock secondary to concomitant severe aortic stenosis (AS) and coronary artery disease (CAD) is a critical clinical condition requiring comprehensive management.
Case Summary: A 75-year-old man presented with cardiogenic shock resulting from severe AS and CAD. Emergency surgery was performed. It involved initiation of extracorporeal circulatory support, followed by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and, subsequently, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using a TaurusElite valve (Peijia Medical). This strategy resulted in marked hemodynamic improvement.
Discussion: This case highlights the efficacy and safety of concurrent PCI and TAVR as a lifesaving strategy for cardiogenic shock patients with concomitant severe CAD and AS.
Take-home Messages: Emergency PCI with concurrent TAVR represents a viable lifesaving strategy for cardiogenic shock patients with coexisting severe CAD and AS. Prophylactic extracorporeal circulation initiation is critical in TAVR procedures for patients with cardiogenic shock to prevent circulatory collapse and maintain systemic perfusion.

Background: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) for non-culprit lesions (NCLs) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) can be influenced by temporary changes in microvascular resistance. Angiography-derived vessel fractional flow reserve (vFFR) has been tested as a less-invasive alternative.
Aims: The FAST STEMI II study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of acute-setting vFFR vs.

Aims: Non-pharmacological therapies for acute decompensated heart failure (HF) and cardiogenic shock have evolved considerably in recent decades. Short-term mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices can be used as circulatory backup. While nearly all available devices use continuous flow, evidence indicates that pulsatile flow can be more effective.

An electrical storm (ES) represents one of cardiology's most formidable and life-threatening crises, marked by relentless ventricular arrhythmias within a 24-hour period. While stimulant cardiotoxicity is an escalating concern, the devastating role of methamphetamine in triggering refractory ES and its deleterious outcomes in advanced cardiomyopathy, particularly within the critical care setting, remains profoundly underreported and poorly understood. We present the urgent case of a 44-year-old male with end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy and chronic, heavy methamphetamine abuse, who spiraled into incessant ventricular tachycardia (VT) storm following acute methamphetamine use.

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.

Rationale: Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) has diverse ischemic etiologies and has been defined by the absence of angiographically significant obstructive coronary artery disease. Blood transfusion has seldom been reported as a precipitating factor for MINOCA. Here, we present a rare case of transfusion-associated MINOCA in a young woman without underlying chronic conditions, aiming to raise clinical awareness of this uncommon yet important phenomenon and to explore its potential pathophysiological mechanisms.
