Article Synopsis
- Management of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in VA-ECMO patients post-acute myocardial infarction (AMI) presents challenges, with significant occurrences of severe bleeding and coagulation issues.
- A study analyzed 176 post-AMI patients on VA-ECMO, finding nearly 39% experienced severe bleeding and a high mortality rate of 49%.
- Factors such as female sex, duration on ECMO, and certain biomarkers were linked to an increased risk of severe bleeding, which led to the discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy in one-third of the cases.
Objectives: Fungal prosthetic vascular graft infections are rare and mainly supra-inguinal. Current guidelines are based on the few studies that have specifically investigated this population, with few risk factors described. The objective of this study is to compare fungal and non-fungal supra-inguinal prosthetic vascular graft infections (PVGI), describing their specificities, identifying risk factors, and evaluating outcomes.
