Filter-based embolic protection device in saphenous vein graft percutaneous intervention: A case report.

Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) are commonly used in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery patients. However, SVGs are prone to degradation and occlusion, resulting in poor long-term patency. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for SVG has been one of the options to treat SVGs disease despite its challenges.

Association between arteriovenous access flow and ventricular function: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Permanent hemodialysis access comes with a myriad of problems on top of the well-known benefits; flow disturbances, risk of infection and revision being among them. All of these could eventually lead to impaired cardiac function. Even so, the relationship between impaired cardiac function due to arteriovenous access in patients undergoing hemodialysis has not been clearly described.

Inherited thrombophilia transpires with severe coronary arterial thrombosis in wide range of age backgrounds: A report of 3 cases.

Introduction: and importance: Protein C and S deficiency are some of the coagulation cascade disorders which may also contributes not only to venous thromboembolism (VTE), but also rarely to arterial thrombosis. Here we present a report of 3 severe coronary artery disease (CAD) cases ranging from very young to elderly patients with concomitant inherited thrombophilia.

Case Presentation: The first case was a chronic coronary syndrome from a very young male patient with history of VTE without any other risk factor of CAD.

NSTEMI with total left circumflex occlusion: how the N-wave might help (case report).

A rise and/or fall in troponin level is an indication of type 1 or 2 myocardial infarct. A 62-year-old male physician presented to emergency room with chest discomfort followed by thought to be normal electrocardiogram (ECG) and normal echocardiography results. His serial hs-troponin test showed remarkable escalation three hours from the initial (107 ng/l into 4.

Urgent intracranial angioplasty after combined systemic and intra-arterial thrombolysis in acute stroke. An initial experience in indonesia.

We report a case of a 59-year-old man who presented with an acute stroke involving the territory of his left middle cerebral artery, and who was treated with combined systemic and intraarterial thrombolysis. After these treatments, the segment remained stenotic. An urgent intracranial angioplasty was performed, resulting in satisfactory recanalization of the stenotic segment, and significant improvement of his National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) from 14 to 5.
