Major vessel disease is subject to mechanical treatments such as surgical pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) and balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA). Fibrotic obstructions resulting from unresolved pulmonary emboli constitute the major vessel disease component.

Inclusion criteria included adults over 20 years old, consent to participate, and a requirement for angioplasty. These findings suggest that VTRNA2-1 promoter methylation status could serve as a valuable biomarker for predicting prognosis and guiding treatment strategies in PAD. 6.97, p=0.024), amputations (HR 2.58, 95% CI 1.02-6.57,

Treatment of ICAS‐LVO with rescue stenting and/or angioplasty has shown promising outcomes, but diagnosing ICAS‐LVO during MT can be challenging [2, 3]. Most respondents (86%) preferred acute treatment of ICAS‐LVO with rescue stenting (RS) +/‐ angioplasty.

Most respondents (86%) preferred acute treatment of ICAS‐LVO with rescue stenting (RS)±angioplasty. Fear of hemorrhagic complications (74%) was the most compelling reason not to perform RS±angioplasty. However, in patients who achieved recanalization with a severe fixed focal stenosis, most (58%) recommended primary medical management.

These patients have worse outcomes: higher mortality, more CHF, higher biomarkers, and worse ejection fractions than the NonSTEMI patients with open arteries. Studies show that 30% of NonSTEMI have an occluded infarct artery at the time of angiography done 24 hours after presentation. This is because of subtle ECG findings.

The presentation for this condition is usually not subtle and presents with severe chest pain, electrocardiographic changes, and elevated cardiac biomarkers evident on blood tests. Women also had more cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension (66.6% versus 63.2%; P <0.001), hyperlipidemia (68.9% years of age versus 59.0±8.4
