Increased miR-6132 promotes deep vein thrombosis formation by downregulating FOXP3 expression

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is associated with aberrant gene expression that is a common peripheral vascular disease. Additionally, DVT models were established to investigate the role of miR-6132 by Murine Doppler Ultrasound and Hematoxylin-Eosin staining.

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. Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print.

AngioJet thrombectomy with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for an acute large-scale pulmonary embolism with bilateral atrial thrombosis: a case report of catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Notably, acute massive pulmonary embolism (PE) with bilateral atrial thrombosis is an exceptional occurrence in CAPS. Acute massive PE combined with bilateral atrial thrombosis has an even higher mortality rate. Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common cardiovascular disease that progresses rapidly and has a high mortality rate.

Coronary Angiography, Intravascular Ultrasound, and Optical Coherence Tomography in the Guidance of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.

Circulation

The secondary outcomes included ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization, target vessel myocardial infarction, death, cardiac death, target vessel revascularization, stent thrombosis, and major adverse cardiac events. OCT was associated with a significant reduction of stent thrombosis compared with ICA (OR, 0.49 [95% CI, 0.26–0.92])

Bedside cardiac ultrasound with no obvious wall motion abnormalities. It is not small but rather large plaques, which may not be producing significant stenosis, that undergo rupture with acute occlusive thrombosis, resulting in myocardial infarction and other ischemic events. He was started on nitro gtt.
