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. The long-term efficiency of these prophylactic and therapeutic measures has yet to be proven.

Obesity paradox: a myth or reality, time to reveal the fact in a South Asian cohort presenting with STE-ACS undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Open Heart

All the patients were observed during their hospital stay for postprocedure in-hospital morbidity (pump failure, contrast-induced nephropathy, major bleeding, cerebrovascular accident/stroke, access site complications or stent thrombosis) and mortality. The mean BMI was 27.48±4.93

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.

Durable versus biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stents in all-comers

Open Heart

Background Drug-eluting stents (DESs) have become the gold standard of coronary angioplasty since their inception in 2002. Despite the DP-DES group exhibiting significantly higher rates of risk factors, such as arterial hypertension (63.1% vs 1.63±0.84, p=0.040), more acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (55.1%

Transcatheter intervention of modified Blalock–Taussig shunts in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome undergoing stage 1 palliation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

We recorded several key outcomes, including early and late intervention-related complications, the need for reintervention, the interval between the NP and the first intervention, shunt patency following the intervention, associated morbidities, and thrombosis-related sudden events. kg), respectively.
