This may stem from a lack of vigilance towards IE and using empirical antibiotic therapy to treat fever. As a result, patients often present with complications of IE that warrant surgical intervention. We hereby discuss a case of IE that remained undiagnosed for 2 years, receiving short courses of oral antibiotic therapy for recurrent fever, ultimately developing heart failure due to valve perforation. https://jthc.tums.ac.ir/index.php/jthc/article/view/2133

Although rare, bradyarrhythmia cases induced by cardiobiliary reflex have been linked to acute cholecystitis. This case emphasizes the cardiobiliary reflex as a possible cause of bradyarrhythmia in patients with gallbladder and biliary tract diseases .  https://jthc.tums.ac.ir/index.php/jthc/article/view/1966

The etiology is multifactorial, and identifying these factors may help improve long-term outcomes after PCI. Case summary: We hereby describe two cases of recurrent ISR; case 1 describes the techniques of PCI used over 17 years to manage recurrent ISR of Left Main bifurcation disease, while case 2 highlights the role of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) as a treatment modality for recurrent ISR of the right coronary artery. Discussion: Management of post-PCI recurrent ISR has witnessed multiple advancements over the past decade. Newer technologies like intravascular imaging, plaque or calcium modification techniques, and drug-eluting balloons enable effective management of recurrent ISR.  This article describes possible risk factors for recurrent ISR and discusses various treatment strategies for its management. https://jthc.tums.ac.ir/index.php/jthc/article/view/2117
