1. IntroductionPulmonary embolism (PE) continues to contribute to significant morbidity and mortality in patients worldwide, despite large advances in treatment. Patients presenting with hemodynamic collapse demonstrate mortality rates between 17.2% and 42.1%, even with utilization of advanced support such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) [1,2]. Amongst all comers with PE, contemporary data for 2016–2019 demonstrate an in-hospital mortality of 6.5% [1].

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is defined as a non-traumatic separation of the epicardial coronary artery walls that creates a false lumen. SCAD poses a difficult challenge in management, as decisions regarding revascularization and medical management seem to be tailored to the individual patient.

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare and often underdiagnosed cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), predominantly affecting younger women without traditional cardiovascular risk factors. The management of SCAD remains a subject of debate, likely secondary to inconclusive evidence.

A healthy man in his late 40s presented with sudden-onset substernal chest pain and dyspnea while exercising on an elliptical machine, which then spontaneously resolved after several minutes of rest. One year earlier, he was diagnosed with asymptomatic COVID-19 infection. Initial laboratory testing at the time was notable for a high-sensitivity cardiac troponin level of 1408 ng/L (normal value <36 ng/L; to convert to micrograms per liter, multiply by 0.001). His ECG showed sinus bradycardia.

1. Introduction Bifurcation lesions account for 20% of all percutaneous coronary interventions and represent a complex subset which are associated with lower procedural success and higher rates of restenosis. However, the optimal bifurcation technique remains inconclusive. The objective of this study was to systematically evaluate the bifurcation strategy comparing 2-stent strategy versus the provisional stenting strategy on outcomes. 2.
