Article Synopsis
- A retrospective study analyzed the outcomes of ad-hoc versus planned percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in 3,179 patients with coronary ectasia, revealing significant differences in health outcomes between the two groups.
- The ad-hoc PCI group had higher rates of comorbidities and lower success rates compared to the planned PCI group, which also showed significantly fewer major adverse cardiovascular events.
- Key predictors of mortality included older age, male gender, and specific health conditions, with coronary ectasia itself also identified as a significant predictor of mortality.*
Idiopathic myointimal hyperplasia of the mesenteric veins (IMHMV) is caused by proliferation of smooth muscle cells in the wall of small mesenteric veins and venules with accumulation of a proteoglycan matrix leading to a non-thrombotic, non-inflammatory venous occlusion resulting in venous ischemia. IMHMV is a rare and poorly understood disease, with <20 case reports in the literature. The purpose of this report is to describe the case of a 63-year-old man who presented with this condition that resulted in colonic ischemia necessitating surgical resection.
