Article Synopsis
- A study examined the impact of polyvascular disease (PVD) on the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), focusing on differences between sexes.
- Among 18,721 patients, women had a higher likelihood of PVD (21.7%) compared to men (16.1%) and exhibited the highest MACE rates following PCI.
- Both men and women with PVD showed similar relative risks for MACE, indicating that increased risk from PVD should be managed with effective secondary prevention strategies for both genders.
Background: Individuals suffering from polyvascular atherosclerotic disease (PolyVD) face a higher likelihood of adverse cardiovascular events. Additionally, inflammation, assessed by high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), affects residual risk following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We aimed to explore the interplay between PolyVD and hsCRP in terms of clinical outcomes after PCI.

We present a 27-year-old male with catastrophic APS and SLE who experienced acute respiratory failure and hemoptysis due to DAH. Despite aggressive therapy with immunosuppressants, plasma exchange, and anticoagulation, he had recurrent DAH episodes requiring repeated admissions.
