Background: Females with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have higher in-hospital and short-term mortality rates compared with males in China, suggesting that a sex disparity exists. The age of onset of STEMI is ahead of time and tends to be younger. However, there are relatively little data on the significance of sex on prognosis for long-term outcomes for adult patients with STEMI after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in China.

- Acute aortic dissection is a serious condition, and this study aimed to assess the role of antiplatelet therapy (specifically aspirin) in patients with Stanford Type B aortic dissection who had endovascular aortic repair (EVAR).
- The study analyzed data from 388 patients, revealing that a significant portion received aspirin treatment; however, those who did were generally older and had more comorbidities like hypertension and diabetes.
- Results showed similar rates of complications like death, hemorrhage, and recurrent dissection between the aspirin and no-aspirin groups, suggesting that aspirin may not significantly impact outcomes for these patients within the first year.
Objective: To explore the clinical value of balloon dilatation through flexible bronchoscope in the management of tracheobronchial stenosis of endobronchial tuberculosis.
Methods: From January 2005 to September 2009, 149 cases of tracheobronchial stenosis caused by endobronchial tuberculosis were examined by flexible bronchoscope and treated with balloon dilatation. Changes of the clinical features, atelectasis and airway diameters were observed and evaluated before and after the last treatment and in 12 months.
