Composite graft replacement of the aortic root and coronary reimplantation with or without coronary artery bypass surgery is the standard treatment for a variety of aortic root pathologies. Previously, percutaneous coronary intervention of either reimplanted coronary arteries or left/right coronary artery through cabrol graft has been described in post-Bentall patients. We describe percutaneous coronary intervention of a saphenous vein graft ostial stenosis in a patient with previous Bentall procedure and a vein graft to right coronary artery, which was complex and challenging

Splanchnic vein thrombosis in patients with polycythemia rubra vera is well-known. Development of mobile right heart thrombus in these patients has not been reported previously. We describe a young patient with Polycythemia rubra vera and splanchnic vein thrombosis with ischemic bowel who underwent small bowel resection. He developed a large mobile right atrial thrombus and bilateral pulmonary embolism. He also had upper gastrointestinal bleed. His management was complicated and challenging due to multiple risk factors and co-morbid conditions. Thrombolysis was contraindicated and he refused surgical intervention. He was treated with anticoagulation with complete resolution of right atrial thrombus

This case presents a young patient with myocardial infarction, in-situ thrombosis of left anterior descending coronary artery and right common-iliac artery due to primary antiphospholipid syndrome. This report discusses the relationship between antiphospholipid antibodies and coronary artery disease along with management of this rare condition
