Optimal stent expansion is considered imperative today in order to prevent subacute stent thrombosis and allows us to minimize antithrombotic therapy. The short-term angiographic and long-term clinical follow-up of a patient with a suboptimally expanded vein graft balloon expandable stent is presented. Intensive antithrombotic treatment along with unimpeded blood flow were probably highly beneficial.

The elective coronary angiogram of a patient with acute anterior myocardial infarction, treated with intravenous thrombolysis, is presented because it was proven to be a coronary ruptured plaque angiography. It is considered that the distinctness, apart from simplicity, of the presented angiography is hardly deniable.
The case of a sixty-five-year-old man with discrete coronary aneurysms, associated with coronary artery ectasia, stenoses, and total occlusion of the left anterior descending artery, that resulted in an acute anterior myocardial infarction, is presented. Aortography and digital subtraction angiography revealed marked aortic and iliac elongation, tortuosity, and aneurysmal dilatation as well as dilatated femoral and popliteal arteries with aneurysmal dilatation in places. It is considered that the case reflects the broad spectrum of atherosclerosis manifestations.
We describe a patient in whom calcific pulmonary vascular stenosis was diagnosed at the age of 84 years. Valve stenosis was relieved by percutaneous transluminal pulmonary valvuloplasty. To our knowledge, PTPV performed at this age has not been previously reported.
Palpitations are a symptom often reported by patients with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), yet the arrhythmias associated with this type of HCM have not been studied adequately. Herein, a case of persistently recurrent atrial flutter in a 63-year-old Greek man with apical HCM is presented. Synchronized direct-current shocks were used twice during his hospitalization in order to convert atrial flutter to sinus rhythm. No definite precipitating factor for the induction of atrial flutter was identified.
A 60-year-old man with a single left coronary artery associated with an annuloaortic ectasia and a ventricular septal defect is described. He presented with severe heart failure and underwent open-heart surgery during which all these entities were confirmed.
