Libman-Sacks endocarditis (LSE), characterized by the formation of verrucous vegetations, is a typical cardiac manifestation of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). It primarily leads to cardiac valve lesions. The mos...
Introduction: The occurrence of venous thrombosis in children is rare, often idiopathic and rarely a known etiology can be found, with sometimes a delay diagnostic in most cases. Method: We report a case illustrating the difficulties of diagnosing phlebitis and a fairly rare eti...

Bupivacaine (marcaine) is a long-acting local anesthetic used for skin infiltration, peripheral nerve blocks, epidural and spinal anesthesia. Its application can lead to cardiovascular complications such as: hypotension, bradycardia, cardiac arrest and toxic myocardial injury. Fe...
Reports of thrombi straddling the patent foramen ovale (PFO) are uncommon occurrences. The development of thrombi within the cardiac chambers poses a greater risk of mortality compared to pulmonary embolism (PE) alone and may necessitate a change in treatment strategy [1]. In thi...
