    Abstract Background: Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is a recently described phenomenon where no flow-limiting lesions are noted on coronary angiography in a patient with electrocardiogram changes, elevated cardiac biomarkers, and symptoms suggesting acute myocardial infarction. Patients with MINOCA can also potentially develop structural cardiac defects through ischaemic injury. Therefore, the absence of a flow-limiting lesion on angiography coupled with structural defects (e.g. apical ballooning) can very easily result in a diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC). This can lead to potentially serious consequences since treatment options between TTC and MINOCA are different.
    Case summary: We report a case of a patient presenting with features suggestive of TTC but where the final diagnosis was of a MINOCA that induced an apical ventricular septal defect (VSD). Reaching the correct diagnosis proved challenging given that there is no gold standard diagnostic modality for diagnosing MINOCA.
    Conclusion: Imaging adjuncts played a vital role in both diagnosing the underlying MINOCA as well as revealing and planning closure of the resultant VSD. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging played an instrumental role in establishing the patient's primary pathology and in planning a remediation of the structural defect. Structural myocardial defects in a patient with a diagnosis of TTC should prompt clinicians to further investigate whether there is an underlying infarct aetiology (MINOCA).

    Abstract Pseudoaneurysm of the aorta is a rare and high-risk complication of native aortic valve endocarditis and can develop following cardiac surgery for aortic valve and root disease. If left untreated, there is a significant risk of aortic wall rupture and fatality. Given the high risk of mortality associated with traditional open surgical repair of aortic pseudoaneurysms, endovascular approach is a potentially favourable alternative. We describe a unique case of a young woman with a large and complex paraprosthetic pseudoaneurysm with multiple communicating fistulae which was successfully percutaneously treated with two occluder devices. In this technically challenging case, a minor but unique procedural complication is also illustrated.

    Abstract Cardiac tamponade is a well-recognized early complication (ie, within 15 days) of cardiac surgery usually a result of the development of a pericardial effusion postoperatively. However, left ventricular diastolic collapse as a result of the presence of a large pleural effusion, but in the absence of any pericardial effusion, is rare, particularly late (ie, after 15 days) after cardiac surgery. We present the echocardiographic findings of a man presenting with recurrent exertional breathlessness, after elective tissue aortic valve replacement, and demonstrate, by echocardiography, the mechanism of left ventricular diastolic collapse and late regional cardiac tamponade, after cardiac surgery, as a result of the effects of a large pleural effusion but in the absence of any pericardial effusion. We discuss and review the literature on this phenomenon.

    Abstract Giant cell myocarditis is a rare but often devastating disease affecting young, otherwise healthy individuals. Patients often die of heart failure and ventricular arrhythmia unless cardiac transplantation is performed. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with or without cardiac biopsy can be helpful in making the correct diagnosis and ensuring that correct timely treatment is administered.

    Abstract Background: Microvascular obstruction (MVO) following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) contributes to infarct expansion, left ventricular (LV) remodelling, and worse clinical outcomes. The REFLO-STEMI trial tested whether intra-coronary (IC) high-dose adenosine or sodium nitroprusside (SNP) reduce infarct size and/or MVO determined by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).
    Methods and results: REFLO-STEMI, a prospective, open-label, multi-centre trial with blinded endpoints, randomized (1:1:1) 247 STEMI patients with single vessel disease presenting within 6 h of symptom onset to IC adenosine (2-3 mg total) or SNP (500 μg total) immediately following thrombectomy and again following stenting, or to standard PPCI. The primary endpoint was infarct size % LV mass (%LVM) on CMR undertaken 24-96 h after PPCI (n = 197). Clinical follow-up was to 6 months. There was no significant difference in infarct size (%LVM, median, interquartile range, IQR) between adenosine (10.1, 4.7-16.2), SNP (10.0, 4.2-15.8), and control (8.3, 1.9-14.0), P = 0.062 and P = 0.160, respectively, vs.
    Control: MVO (% LVM, median, IQR) was similar across groups (1.0, 0.0-3.7, P = 0.205 and 0.6, 0.0-2.4, P = 0.244 for adenosine and SNP, respectively, vs. control 0.3, 0.0-2.8). On per-protocol analysis, infarct size (%LV mass, 12.0 vs. 8.3, P = 0.031), major adverse cardiac events (hazard ratio, HR, 5.39 [1.18-24.60], P = 0.04) at 30 days and 6 months (HR 6.53 [1.46-29.2], P = 0.01) were increased and ejection fraction reduced (42.5 ± 7.2% vs. 45.7 ± 8.0%, P = 0.027) in adenosine-treated patients compared with control.
    Conclusions: High-dose IC adenosine and SNP during PPCI did not reduce infarct size or MVO measured by CMR. Furthermore, adenosine may adversely affect mid-term clinical outcome.
