Background: The tip-detection method and the retrograde approach have been acknowledged as a second-line strategies for chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) when conventional antegrade wiring strategies are ineffective. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy between both strategies for complex CTO PCI.
Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 170 consecutive CTO PCI cases and separated them into 295 adopted strategies.
Background: Bacteraemia can co-occur with COVID-19. The present study aimed to determine the cut-off value for C-reactive protein (CRP) and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for predicting bacteraemia in patients with COVID-19.
Methods: Patients admitted to Tokyo Metropolitan Tama Medical Centre for COVID-19 treatment between 1 April 2020 and 30 October 2022 were included.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed the GUIDE PLUS® 5Fr catheter and the GP-Lock method to enhance backup support during PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) procedures.
- The GP-Lock method demonstrated the highest backup force of 293.7 gf compared to 270.4 gf for the KIWAMI-Lock method, and other conventional methods, highlighting its effectiveness.
- GP-Lock also reduced preparation time significantly (5 minutes) compared to KIWAMI-Lock (11 minutes), making it a more efficient option for complex PCI situations.
Trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity interferes with continued treatment in approximately 10% of patients with ErbB2-positive breast cancer, but its mechanism has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we recruited trastuzumab-treated patients with ≥30% reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction (SP) and noncardiotoxic patients (NP). From each of these patients, we established three cases of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (pt-iPSC-CMs).

However, there is no systematic data on risk assessment of DVT among psychiatric inpatients. The aim of this study was to develop a risk stratification scoring system for DVT among psychiatic patients on admission.
