Risk factors, prevention, and therapy of intraluminal stent thrombosis in frozen elephant trunk prostheses—what we know so far

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

In this phenomenon, a thrombus forms within the lumen of the stent graft component of the frozen elephant trunk prosthesis and puts the patient at risk for downstream embolization with visceral or lower limb ischemia.

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

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

This suggests further severe ischemia. 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. And yet the arteries remain open.

Given the consistency of the clinical profile with typical angina, associated risk factors, and abnormal ECG findings, a cardiology consult was promptly requested. It should be known that each category can easily manifest the generic subendocardial ischemia pattern. What’s interesting is that the ECG can only detect ischemia.

Abstract 19: Von Willebrand Factor Deficiency Improves Long Term Stroke Outcomes in Mice With Respiratory Infections

Stroke Journal

Von Willebrand factor (VWF) plays a crucial role in hemostasis and thrombosis by promoting platelet adhesion to the subendothelial matrix and factor VIII stabilization. aureus-infected WT,Vwf-/-,Adamts13-/-mice were subjected to transient (30 min) middle cerebral artery ischemia using a filament model.

ECG Blog #448 — A Young Man with Chest Pain.

Ken Grauer, MD

To quote Dr. Stephen Smith: "The worst risk factor for a bad outcome in acute MI is young age." This may occur as a result of blunt chest trauma or other acute stress that produces a sudden extreme shear force on a coronary artery ( that can result in an intimal tear that leads to intraluminal thrombosis ).

Lowering Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Events by Treating Residual Inflammatory Risk

DAIC

11 Despite the link between inflammation and cardiovascular disease has been proven by extensive research, most physicians have focused on treating high-risk patients with lipid lowering therapies including statin therapy.1,12,13 mg) to reduce the risks of heart attack, stroke, coronary revascularization, and CV death.29
