Endovascular intervention with intravascular ultrasound guidance of very early dissection complication in transplant renal artery: a case report and literature review.

Background: Transplant renal artery dissection (TRAD) is a rare and serious event that can cause allograft dysfunction and eventually graft loss. Most cases are managed by operative repair. We report a case of TRAD in the early postoperative period, which was successfully managed with intravascular ultrasound-assisted endovascular intervention.

Prevalence and impact of metabolic syndrome on in-hospital outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction: A perspective from a developing country.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) often suffers from a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, few studies in developing countries have focused on the effect of MetS on in-hospital outcomes in patients with AMI. We analyzed 199 patients with AMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Prediction of obstructive coronary artery disease in patients undergoing heart valve surgery: A cross-sectional study in a tertiary care hospital.

Estimating the probability of obstructive coronary artery disease in patients undergoing noncoronary cardiac surgery should be considered compulsory. Our study sought to evaluate the prevalence of obstructive coronary artery disease in patients undergoing valvular heart surgery and to utilize predictive methodology of concomitant obstructive coronary artery disease in these patients. The retrospective study cohort was derived from a tertiary care hospital registry of patients undergoing coronary angiogram prior to valvular heart operations.
