We sought to assess whether iodinated contrast administered during coronary angiography is an independent cause of AKI.Methods: We identified all of the patients who underwent coronary angiography between July 1, 2015 and…

Anomalous Origin of Right Coronary Artery Originating from the Proximal Part of the Left Anterior Descending Artery Via a Collateral

Infective Mycotic Aneurysm Presenting as Transient Acute Coronary Occlusion and Infectious Pericarditis

Abstract:Cardiac catheterization carries a negligible risk of bacteremia. Post coronary artery intervention (PCI) bacteremia occurs frequently (in approximately 30% of cases); however, clinical sequelae occur rarely in such cases. Percutaneous coronary intervention has a greater bacteremic potential, probably due to the lengthy procedure time and the repeated insertion of interventional…
