Left ventricular thrombus recurrence after anticoagulation discontinuation.

Background: Evidence regarding the duration of anticoagulation (AC) therapy for left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is lacking. This study aims to evaluate the rate and risk factors for LVT recurrence in patients with Anterior ST-Segment elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) complicated by LVT.

Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of patients with Anterior STEMI complicated by LVT and reduced ejection fraction (<35 %) from 2010 to 2020.

Failure to restore the calcar and locking screw cross-threading predicts varus collapse in proximal humerus fracture fixation.

Background: Varus collapse is a common failure mode of proximal humerus fracture (PHF) fixation. The purpose of this study was to analyze predictors of varus collapse of PHF after open reduction, internal fixation (ORIF).

Methods: All patients who underwent ORIF of a PHF from January 2008 to July 2018 were identified.
