Femoral Arterial Thrombosis in a Young Adult after Nonsevere COVID-19.

Introduction: Few cases of arterial thromboembolisms have been reported after novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in case of severe infection or in elderly patients. We report a case of femoral arterial thrombosis in a young patient after nonsevere infection.

Case Description: A common femoral artery thrombosis extended in the first third of superficial and profunda femoral arteries associated with tibial posterior and popliteal artery thrombosis was diagnosed in a 24-year-old man complaining of right lower limb pain for one month.

[Surgery of active-phase infective endocarditis: report of 13 cases].

Objective: Infective endocarditis is always a disease at the present time. In this work we report our initial experience of infective endocarditis surgical treatment during the acute phase.

Methods And Results: Between September 1993 and December 1997, 13 patients underwent valvular surgery for native infective endocarditis.

Safety of oral nicorandil before coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Nicorandil is a K(ATP) channel opener used to treat angina. It is cardioprotective and a vasodilator. We conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess oral nicorandil in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in patients with type II heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.

Background: The use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in patients with a history of type II heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) may be associated with complications related to their anticoagulation management.

Methods: Between January 1997 and December 1999, among 4,850 adults patients who underwent cardiac surgery in our institution, 10 patients presented with preoperative type II HIT. In 4 patients, anticoagulation during CPB was achieved with danaparoid sodium.
