Prospective Multicenter International Registry of Ultrasound-Facilitated Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis in Intermediate-High and High-Risk Pulmonary Embolism (KNOCOUT PE)

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

BACKGROUND:Prior clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of ultrasound-facilitated catheter-directed thrombolysis (USCDT) for the treatment of acute intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) using reduced thrombolytic doses and shorter infusion durations.

Management of complications associated with percutaneous left atrial appendage closure with or without ablation: experience from 512 cases over a 4-year period

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

These included three cases of intraoperative thrombosis, three instances of pericardial effusion or tamponade, one case of device-related thrombosis, one peri-device leak, one systemic embolism, one bleeding episode, and one additional device-related complication.

Abstract 134: Thrombotic Complications of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome

Stroke Journal

In severe OHSS, increases in capillary permeability can result in hemoconcentration and hypercoagulability leading to thrombotic events, including stroke and cerebral venous thrombosis. HCUP contains both emergency department and inpatient encounters whereas NIS contains a nationally representative sample of inpatient encounters.

What does the angiogram show? The Echo? The CT coronary angiogram? How do you explain this?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

MINOCA may be due to: coronary spasm, coronary microvascular dysfunction, plaque disruption, spontaneous coronary thrombosis/emboli , and coronary dissection; myocardial disorders, including myocarditis, takotsubo cardiomyopathy, and other cardiomyopathies. This is in spite of the known proclivity of tighter stenoses to thrombose.

Abstract WP328: Higher Artificial Intelligence (AI)-ECG Atrial Fibrillation Prediction Model Output and Delta Age Computed from AI-ECG are Associated with Adverse Vascular Outcomes in Patients with Migraine

Stroke Journal

We aim to assess how AI-ECG prediction model outputs, specifically the AF probability and delta age, are associated with adverse vascular outcomes in patients with migraine.Adult patients diagnosed with MwA and MwoA from 2000-2020 with at least one digital, standard 12-lead ECG were identified. 14.5), and the average follow-up time was 71.6

MINOCA may be due to: coronary spasm, coronary microvascular dysfunction, plaque disruption, spontaneous coronary thrombosis/emboli , and coronary dissection. link] We know that most type 1 acute MI due to plaque rupture and thrombosis occurs in lesions that are less than 50% (see Libby reference).

Concerning EKG with a Non-obstructive angiogram. What happened?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The commonest causes of MINOCA include: atherosclerotic causes such as plaque rupture or erosion with spontaneous thrombolysis, and non-atherosclerotic causes such as coronary vasospasm (sometimes called variant angina or Prinzmetal's angina), coronary embolism or thrombosis, possibly microvascular dysfunction. This is not the case.
