Elixir Medical Receives FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for DynamX BTK System for Below-The-Knee Arterial Disease

DAIC

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its DynamX BTK System, a novel, adaptive implant for use in the treatment of narrowed or blocked vessels below-the-knee (BTK) in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). Global and regional burden of death and disability from peripheral artery disease: 21 world regions, 1990 to 2010.

Chest pain: Are these really "Nonspecific ST-T wave abnormalities", as the cardiologist interpretation states?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The ECG did not meet STEMI criteria, and the final cardiology interpretation was “ST and T wave abnormality, consider anterior ischemia”. Hence the first ECG was labeled 'anterior ischemia' based on ST depression, rather than identifying this as reciprocal from posterior OMI. Ann Noninvasive Electrocardiol 2010 7. Meyers et al.

Cardiac arrest, defibrillated, diffuse ST depression and ST Elevation in aVR. Why?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Again, it is common to have an ECG that shows apparent subendocardial ischemia after resuscitation from cardiac arrest, after defibrillation, and after cardioversion. and repeat the ECG, to see if the apparent ischemia persists. A third ECG was done about 25 minutes after the first: This shows resolution of all apparent ischemia.

Abstract WP192: Impact of Second Line Thrombectomy Technique Following Failed First Pass Thrombectomy for Anterior Circulation Stroke: To Switch or Not to Switch?

Stroke Journal

Data from 29 stroke centers for 10,229 AIS patients treated with MT for LVO between January 2010 and December 2022 was investigated. The primary outcome measure was successful recanalization defined as modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Ischemia (mTICI) score of 2b or higher.

Fractional flow reserve for guiding coronary intervention and functional SYNTAX score

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

indicates inducible ischemia while an FFR above 0.80 excludes ischemia in 90% of cases. There is a strong correlation between FFR and inducible myocardial ischemia. It recalculates SYNTAX score by incorporating ischemia producing lesions determined by FFR. 2010 Jul 13;56(3):177-84. Normal FFR is 1.0 An FFR below 0.75

Abstract WP205: Development and Validation of a Prediction Model for Outcome in Mechanical Thrombectomy for Large-Vessel Occlusion Anterior Circulation Stroke With Low ASPECTS

Stroke Journal

Methods:236 AIS patients with low ASPECTS caused by LVO who undertook MT between January 2010 and December 2022 were retrospectively investigated. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression results were used to screen model predictors and construct nomograms of 90-day modified Rankin Scale scores (mRS) 0-3. with a score of 2, 17.7%

Middle Aged Woman with Asystolic Cardiac Arrest, Resuscitated: Cath Lab?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

This ECG is diagnostic of diffuse subendocardial ischemia. We studied this and published the abstract below in 2010. Chicago November 2010. Two prehospital 12-lead ECGs looked similar to this ED ECG: This shows diffuse ST depression (I, II, III, aVL, aVF, V3-V6) with reciprocal ST elevation in lead aVR.
