Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the effectiveness of abbreviated dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in patients at high bleeding risk undergoing heart procedures, finding that it reduces bleeding without increasing ischemic events.
- - Data from a trial involving 4,579 patients, including 30.7% women, showed that abbreviated DAPT outcomes for major adverse events and bleeding were similar for both sexes.
- - The analysis demonstrated consistent safety and effectiveness of abbreviated DAPT across genders, indicating no significant difference in net adverse clinical events between men and women.
Introduction: There is clinical equipoise as to whether hyperoxia is injurious to the myocardium, both in the setting of acute ischaemic insults and on the stable myocardium. This study examined the effect of extreme hyperoxia - in the form of hyperbaric oxygen treatment - on the myocardium through measurement of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin.
Methods: Forty-eight individuals were enrolled to undergo a series of 30 exposures to hyperbaric oxygen for treatment of non-cardiac pathologies.
Introduction: Carotid artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare but potentially morbid complication of central venous catheter insertion. Traditionally managed by open surgical or endovascular repair, this article describes a case that used percutaneous thrombin injection. Delivered at the point of care under ultrasound guidance, it offers a less invasive and less resource dependent approach where conventional therapies are unsuccessful.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAims: Undilatable stents with severe peri-stent calcification are an important cause of target lesion failure and therapeutic options are limited. We report our initial experience with the safety and efficacy of excimer laser coronary atherectomy (ELCA)-assisted expansion of undilatable stents.
Methods And Results: ELCA was performed with saline, blood and contrast-enhanced trains.
