    Abstract Background: In Vietnam, there has been no survey conducted on the prescribing and monitoring practices of oral anticoagulants to ensure that patients with atrial fibrillation receive appropriate. Objective: Therefore, we conducted this research to clarify the aforementioned issue in our hospital.
    Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study by reviewing outpatient electronic medical records at the University Medical Center in Ho Chi Minh City. Our study included 1087 patients aged 18 years or older diagnosed with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), who visited the Cardiology clinic between January 1st, 2021, and June 30th, 2021.
    Results: Among the 1087 patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), 1036 were eligible for anticoagulant therapy. However, only 847 (81.8%) received prescriptions for either Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) (n=129, 15.2%) or Non-Vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) (n=718, 84.8%). NOAC prescriptions were more commonly found in patients aged 75 or older (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=2), those with health insurance coverage (adjusted OR=2.9), and in individuals with a history of hypertension (adjusted OR=2). On the contrary, patients with a farming occupation were less likely to be prescribed NOACs (adjusted OR=0.4). About 75% of patients adhered to the guidelines recommending close monitoring during anticoagulant treatment. Notably, inappropriate prescriptions were identified in 27.7% of cases, especially among those with no recorded body weight (which is necessary for precise dosing based on creatinine clearance), those without health insurance, those with undocumented CHA2DS2-VASc scores, or those who were concurrently using antiplatelet agents.
    Conclusion: A discrepancy persists between clinical guidelines and the actual practice in diagnosing and managing patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). It is crucial to prioritize the regular reevaluation of thromboembolic risk scores at follow-up appointments, ensure strict adherence to clinical monitoring standards, and align anticoagulant medication prescriptions with established guidelines.

    Abstract Accidental fish bone ingestion is a common manifestation at emergency departments. In most cases, ingested foreign bodies usually pass uneventfully through the gastrointestinal tract and complications only present in less than 5% of all patients. In this report, we present the first documented case of pulmonary artery injury due to a fish bone in a 63-year-old male patient hospitalized with hemoptysis after accidentally swallowing a fish bone 30 days ago. This patient subsequently had surgery and endoscopy to safely remove the foreign body and then recovered well on a follow-up examination. For cases of fish bone ingestion, contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography is one of the most essential tools to assess vascular problems and associated mediastinal infections-risk factors for life-threatening and long-term recurrent inflammation. Reconstructing planes along the foreign body axis and changing windows when analyzing CT scans is necessary to avoid missing lesions and dilemmas.

    Abstract Primary pericardial mesothelioma is an extremely rare cancer with a short survival prognosis. Clinical symptoms are often atypical, and most patients are diagnosed after surgery or at autopsy. We report a case of a 35-year-old female patient with multiple serous membrane effusion for more than 1 year. The patient underwent pericardial, pleural, and peritoneal fluid drainage many times and underwent many laboratory tests to find the cause; however, there was no definitive diagnosis. She was admitted to the hospital because of shortness of breath, cough, and sputum for 5 days. She underwent extensive pericardiectomy to resolve the dyspnea and pericardial surgery to find the cause of the multiple serous membrane effusion. After surgery, her dyspnea was relieved, and the serous effusion gradually decreased.

    Abstract Acute promyelocytic leukemia is a special type of acute myeloid leukemia. Patients with this disease are at high risk of complications. Right atrial thrombosis is a rare but potentially serious complication. A 55-month-old girl with acute promyelocytic leukemia M3 was in her last phase of treatment. Radiologic examination revealed an echo structure in the right atrium that was still present after 6 weeks of anticoagulation treatment with enoxaparin. Cardiac surgery was performed to remove the mass, which was found to be a calcified thrombus. Although this is a rare occurrence, recognition of the possibility of a calcified thrombus may minimize misdiagnosis and allow surgical retrieval if the thrombus is sufficiently large.

    Abstract Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are abnormal connections of coronary arteries where venous circuits bypass the normal capillaries in the myocardium. CAFs are rare, and most patients are asymptomatic. However, CAFs are the most common coronary artery anomalies affecting coronary hemodynamics. While most CAFs are asymptomatic in young patients, symptoms and complications become more frequent with increasing age. CAFs are characterized by variable clinical manifestations based on their size, origin, and drainage site. We describe a 35-year-old woman presenting with the shortness of breath after walking. Despite attempting medical treatment, the patient continued to experience dyspnea, fatigue, fainting the and chest pain episodes. After admission, cardiac imaging was immediately performed and recorded symptomatic CAFs. Percutaneous transcatheter closure treatment was indicated. The patient was discharged with clinical recovery. The treatment of symptomatic CAFs often requires the clear cardiac imaging and endovascular approach to achieve the best clinical results.

    Abstract Background: Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs), also, known as coronary arteriovenous malformation, are aberrant connections between coronary arteries and other structures, such as other artery branches or heart chambers. CAFs are infrequent and asymptomatic in young patients, but symptoms and complications become more frequent with age. CAFs can affect hemodynamic parameters and lead to complications, such as myocardial ischemia, heart failure, arrhythmia, and infective endocarditis.
    Objective: The aim of this article was to present a typical CAF case with severe symptoms who underwent successful embolization to resolve their symptoms.
    Case presentation: A 50-year-old Vietnamese male visited our cardiac outpatient clinic (S.I.S General Hospital, Can Tho, Vietnam) because of exertional dyspnea and chest pain. Signs of congestive heart failure and abnormal murmur were not presented on chest auscultation. Diagnostic digital subtraction angiography was performed to determine the detailed angioarchitecture of the CAF, revealing a fistulous connection between the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and the LV chamber through an aneurysm. In addition, the RCA measured 7 mm in diameter with a fistula (16 × 9 mm) draining into an aneurysm and then terminating into the LV chamber. The patient had an RCA aneurysm with a fistula into the LV. It was treated successfully by closing the fistula with a vascular plug. Access to the fistula was complex and difficult because of complications due to the CAF. After the procedure, the patient had no chest pain or shortness of breath and was discharged after three days. After six months, he was taking dual antiplatelet therapy and antihypertensive medications and felt better. We performed contrast computed tomography (CT) to examine the fistula after a year, which showed the successful closure of the fistula without any relevant alteration in the coronary artery.
    Conclusion: CAF closure is indicated if patients have symptoms or secondary complications, and percutaneous closure is a safe and effective method to manage CAF. A CAF is rare and does not have specific symptoms, making it difficult to diagnose. Most patients are asymptomatic and have serious recent complications. Currently, the percutaneous transcatheter method is popular because it is noninvasive and successful in most patients.
