Hemolytic anemia after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI): A case report.

Background: In clinical practice, intravascular hemolysis is not common after interventional cardiovascular procedures. Although diagnostic and treatment techniques have developed, with the increasing importance placed on people's own health and the popularity of cardiovascular intervention, there have been occasional reports of hemolysis after different cardiovascular interventions, mainly including cardiac pacemaker implantation, atrial-fibrillation radiofrequency ablation, transcatheter aortic-valve implantation (TAVI), transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) and percutaneous repair of Gerbode defect and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with Impella. However, so far, there have been no relevant reports on postoperative hemolysis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Race between virus and inflammasomes: inhibition or escape, intervention and therapy.

The inflammasome is a multiprotein complex that further regulates cell pyroptosis and inflammation by activating caspase-1. The assembly and activation of inflammasome are associated with a variety of diseases. Accumulative studies have shown that inflammasome is a key modulator of the host's defense response to viral infection.
