Impact of the completeness of revascularization and high bleeding risk status in acute coronary syndrome patients with multi-vessel disease: A retrospective analysis.

Objectives: To investigate the long-term mortality of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with multivessel disease according to the level of completeness of revascularization (CR) and high-bleeding risk (HBR) status.

Design Setting And Participants: This retrospective study collected the data of ACS patients with multivessel disease who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention between May 2018 and February 2019. Complete to reasonable revascularization (CR) was defined by the residual Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery score (RSS) of 0 to ≤8.

Coil embolization to giant left anterior descending artery and left circumflex artery coronary artery aneurysm after failed coronary aneurysmal repair in IgG4-related disease: a case report.

Background: IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a chronic fibroinflammatory condition with multiple-organ involvement. Rupture of coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) in IgG4-RD is rare.

Case Summary: A 65-year-old man with IgG4-RD has suffered from recurrent episodes of arterial aneurysms since 2003.

Incidence, predictors, and survival of pulmonary hypertension determined by echocardiography in Thai patients with early systemic sclerosis (SSc): inception cohort study.

Objectives: We investigated the incidence, predictors, and survival of pulmonary hypertension (PH) determined by Doppler echocardiography in Thai patients with early SSc (systemic sclerosis), in which the majority were diffuse cutaneous SSc (DcSSc) with anti-topoisomerase I-positive.

Methods: We used an inception cohort study of patients with early SSc seen at the Rheumatology Clinic, Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital. All patients were assessed for clinical data and underwent Doppler echocardiography at the study entry and then annually.
