Anti-thrombotic therapy strategies with long-term anticoagulation after percutaneous coronary intervention - a systematic review and meta-analysis.

: Long-term oral anticoagulants (OAC) increases bleeding risk after the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with Aspirin and P2Y inhibitors. We hypothesize that dual anti-thrombotic therapy (DATT) reduces bleeding without increased cardiovascular events. : DATT does not increase adverse cardiovascular events compared to triple anti-thrombotic therapy (TATT).

An Atypical Case of Silent Aortic Dissection in a Peritoneal Dialysis Patient: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

BACKGROUND Aortic dissection presents with acute chest or back pain and is associated with high mortality. We present a case of aortic dissection with an atypical presentation in a peritoneal dialysis patient, and the challenges met with peritoneal dialysis. CASE REPORT A 53-year-old African American male presented with progressively worsening exertional dyspnea and orthopnea for 3 days without any history of chest pain.

Meta-Analysis Comparing Outcomes and Need for Renal Replacement Therapy of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is commonly associated with aortic valve replacement. Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is a known risk factor for AKI but little is known about the short- and long-term effects of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The purpose of our analysis is to identify the short- and long-term effect of TAVI on renal outcomes.

Myxoid Liposarcoma Originating In The Anterior Mediastinum.

Myxoid liposarcomas of the head and neck are mostly metastatic in nature, with the primary lesion usually in lower extremities or retroperitoneum. Primary mediastinal liposarcomas are even rarer. Although there have been previous cases reporting their incidence, there is no evidence of any case comprising of both the neck and the mediastinal region yet.
