Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The ever-urgent need for rapid, decisive action in emergency medical settings is a testament to the evolving understanding and management of these conditions.

Historically, the intersection of emergency medicine and cardiology has been pivotal in the development of lifesaving protocols. From the advent of defibrillation to the application of thrombolytics, the progress has been monumental.

This Special Issue aims to encapsulate and highlight the most recent advancements in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cardiovascular emergencies. We seek to illuminate the path forward by showcasing the depth and breadth of current research, translating complex clinical challenges into actionable knowledge.

We encourage the submission of original research articles, reviews, and other manuscripts that discuss state-of-the-art interventions, emerging diagnostic tools, and novel therapeutic approaches. Manuscripts that evaluate the efficacy of new protocols and those that explore the integration of technology in emergency care settings are especially welcome.

We are soliciting contributions that push the boundaries of knowledge and practice. Research that underscores interdisciplinary approaches is sought for this Special Issue.

We invite authors to contribute their expertise and insights to this critical discourse, engaging with a community dedicated to the advancement of emergency cardiovascular care. By participating, you will be contributing to a compendium that not only informs but also shapes the future of emergency medicine.

Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) causing dysphagia, the so-called “dysphagia lusoria”, is a frequent embryologic anomaly of the aortic arch. In symptomatic patients, studies report several management options including surgical, hybrid, and totally endovascular strategies. Hybrid techniques have the advantage of no chest opening with reduced morbidity, but the problem of the ARSA stump causing recurrent or persistent dysphagia remains challenging in some cases. We conducted a literature review on the management strategies of ARSA and presented the case of a 72-year-old female patient with ARSA and dysphagia managed with thoracic endovascular repair of the aorta (TEVAR) and bilateral carotid–subclavian artery bypass. This technique was chosen because of the severe calcifications at the level of ARSA origin that would make surgical ligation difficult, or if an occluder device not suitable. We think that a patient-tailored approach should be considered in cases of dysphagia lusoria, considering that a multitude of strategies are reported. Full article
