Effect of Statins on the Prognosis After Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair for Patients With Acute Type B Aortic Dissection.

Objective: To analyze the clinical efficacy of long-term statin therapy following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in patients with acute type B aortic dissection (ATBAD).

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 645 patients treated between January 2005 and June 2022, dividing them into Statin Group (n=330) and Non-statin Group (n=315) based on whether they received long-term postoperative statin therapy. Patients were further categorized based on median admission low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels into High and Low LDL-C Groups to assess the effect of statins on the prognosis of ATBAD patients after TEVAR.

Predictive factors for multivessel disease in patients with acute coronary syndrome: analysis from the CCC-ACS project in China.

Background: Multivessel disease(MVD) is linked to a poorer prognosis, increased complications, longer hospital stays, and higher in-hospital mortality when compared to single-vessel disease(SVD).The purpose of this study is to explore the clinically relevant predictors of acute cornary syndrome (ACS) combined with MVD.

Methods: This multicenter retrospective study included 68,378 ACS patients from 240 hospitals.

A nomogram prediction model for short-term aortic-related adverse events in patients with acute Stanford type B aortic intramural hematoma: development and validation.

Background: This study is to examine the factors associated with short-term aortic-related adverse events in patients with acute type B aortic intramural hematoma (IMH). Additionally, we develop a risk prediction nomogram model and evaluate its accuracy.

Methods: This study included 197 patients diagnosed with acute type B IMH.

Associations of the triglyceride-glucose index and remnant cholesterol with coronary artery disease: a retrospective study.

Background: Remnant cholesterol (RC) represents a low-cost and readily measured lipid index that contributes significantly to residual cardiovascular disease risk. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index exhibits a significant correlation with cardiovascular disease occurrence. However, RC and the TyG index have rarely been examined for their potentials in predicting coronary artery disease (CAD).
