Background: The incidence of subacute stent thrombosis (SAT) within 30 days after stenting with a sirolimus-eluting stent (Cypher) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was retrospectively compared to that with bare-metal stents (BMS).
Methods And Results: Among 559 lesions in 558 consecutive AMI from April 2003 to February 2006, the incidence of documented SAT after Cypher implantation (2/276 lesions, 0.72%) was almost the same as for BMS (2 cases, 0.71%). Aspirin (81-100 mg/day) plus ticlopidine (200 mg/day) were administered continuously after admission in all 4 cases.
Conclusion: Documented SAT did not increase after stenting with Cypher for AMI under aspirin plus ticlopidine.

Arch Bare Metal Stent Grafting in Type I Aortic Dissections After Hemiarch Repair.

Background: DeBakey type I aortic dissections (AD) are most frequently treated with hemiarch repair. A subset of patients demonstrates persistent distal end-organ ischemia secondary to persistent true lumen (TL) compression. We describe the use of bare metal stent grafting across the residual arch dissection with the Zenith Dissection Endovascular Stent (ZDES, Cook Medical) in 7 patients with type I AD that was repaired in a hemiarch configuration with a compromised distal TL and organ malperfusion.

Background: The prevention of reperfusion injury remains an unmet need in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluated mild hypothermia as adjunctive therapy during STEMI, with conflicting results.
Aims: To summarize the evidence about the efficacy and safety of mild hypothermia in patients with STEMI, as well as its conclusiveness through a trial sequential analysis (TSA).

Background: Published reports demonstrate that the use of Castor stent-graft is a promising treatment of aortic pathologies with the need to land in zone 2. However, there is a lack of publications on the medium-term results of Castor in the European population. This research evaluates the mid-term results of the Castor stent-graft in several Polish centers for the treatment of aortic pathologies and enriches the current knowledge of Castor stent-grafts.

Background: Iatrogenic injury to neck vasculature is a potentially life-threatening complication of spine surgery. We present an illustrative case describing the use of the Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) in the emergent reconstruction of the vertebral artery (VA) following vessel laceration. In addition, we document a systematic review concerning the use of the PED in acute to chronic iatrogenic injury of the internal carotid or VAs.

Article Synopsis
- A 44-year-old man experienced a severe allergic reaction after receiving SonoVue during a heart test, leading to chest pain and a heart attack caused by stent thrombosis and coronary vasospasm.
- Treatment involved mechanical thrombectomy, stent replacement, and careful management to avoid worsening the patient's condition, ultimately resulting in his recovery and discharge with normal heart function.
