The effect of the systemic immune-inflammatory index on the no-reflow phenomenon in patients undergoing saphenous vein intervention.

Introduction: The systemic immune inflammation index (SII), based on lymphocyte, neutrophil, and platelet counts, has been shown to be an independent indicator of no-reflow phenomenon during percutaneous intervention. However, the relationship between SII and no-reflow phenomenon (NRP) that develops after the procedure of saphenous vein grafts is unknown.

Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between no-reflow phenomenon and SII during percutaneous intervention on saphenous vein grafts.

Increased Cardio-ankle Vascular Index Values in Migraine Patients With Aura.

Patients with migraine with aura are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. There are limited data on arterial stiffness in migraine patients with aura. The present study evaluated arterial stiffness in these patients using the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI).

Assessment of the relationship between monocyte to high-density lipoprotein ratio and subclavian artery stenosis.

Objective: Assessment of the monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) is a new tool for predicting inflammation, which plays a major role in atherosclerosis. Subclavian artery stenosis (SAS) is usually asymptomatic, and atherosclerosis is the most common cause of chronic obstruction of the subclavian artery in adults. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the MHR and SAS.

Surgical removal of atrial septal defect closure device due to systemic allergic reaction to nickel: A case report.

Systemic hypersensitivity reaction to nickel-containing medical device is a rare complication after percutaneous atrial septal defect closure. The symptoms regress spontaneously or in response to medical treatment in most cases. Surgical device removal is mandatory and effective in patients whose symptoms persist despite optimal medical therapy.
