Stent thrombosis is an infrequent event but a potentially fatal complication of coronary stenting. Adherence to long-term antiplatelet therapy plays an important role in the prevention of late stent thrombosis after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. Poor glycemic control due to nonadherence to diabetic treatments is likely to result in severely diffuse coronary atherosclerosis and diabetic microvascular complications. This case report describes fatal very late stent thrombosis in a young diabetic patient, which teaches us about the potential risk of DES in patients with acute myocardial infarction and the importance of patient education about long-term dual antiplatelet therapy after DES implantation. Furthermore, it demonstrates severely diffuse atherosclerosis in a young diabetic patient with nonadherence to diabetic treatments.

Background: There is a paucity of data regarding drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment in the context of left main (LM) true bifurcation lesions.
Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DCB-based treatment for unprotected LM true bifurcation lesions.
Methods: A total of 39 patients with LM true bifurcation lesion (Medina: 1,1,1/0,1,1/1,0,1) who were successfully treated with DCB alone or in combination with drug-eluting stent (DES) were retrospectively enrolled into the DCB-based group.
Comparison of ticagrelor and clopidogrel in primary percutaneous coronary intervention patients: a single-center retrospective study.

Background: It is uncertain whether ticagrelor is more effective and safer than clopidogrel in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients in the East Asian population in the real world. This study compared the clinical outcomes of ticagrelor and clopidogrel in STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 1124 patients diagnosed with STEMI in Nanjing First Hospital from July 2011 to April 2019.

Neurovascular flow-diverting stents (FDSs) are revolutionizing the paradigm for treatment of intracranial aneurysms, but they still face great challenges like post- implantation acute thrombosis and delayed reendothelialization. Surface modification is of crucial relevance in addressing such key issues. In this study, we fabricated an ultrathin nanocoating out of copper (II) together with protocatechuic acid (PCA) and nattokinase (NK) bioactive molecules on NiTi FDSs via a coordination chemistry approach, with favorable biophysiochemical interactions, to fulfill this goal.

Background: Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS-CABG) is frequently used for coronary revascularization, but the comparison of long-term clinical results with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in left main disease (LMDs) remains unclear. The present study sought to determine the long-term outcomes of MICS-CABG and PCI in patients with LMDs.
Methods: A total of 551 consecutive patients [man: 457 (82.
