Introduction: Although stents have improved the safety and efficacy of percutaneous coronary interventions, coronary stent thrombosis remains a serious complication.
Case Presentation: We present the case of a 64-year-old Caucasian man from Greece, with symptoms and electrocardiographic findings suggestive of acute inferior myocardial infarction, who complained of chest pain and rapidly developed cardiogenic shock 48 hours after primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
Conclusion: The most common cause of early bare-metal stent thrombosis is stent malapposition. Intravascular ultrasound is the preferred method to recognize predictors of coronary events that are not detected by angiography.

Impact of Anemia and Acquired Anemia on in-Hospital Mortality of Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients.
Int J Gen Med
December 2024
Department of Cardiology, Medipol Istanbul University Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul, Turkey.
Objective: To investigate the associations of anemia-related parameters, with in-hospital mortality after acute coronary syndrome (ACS), as well as factors associated with prior anemia (PA) and hospital-acquired anemia (HAA) in patients with ACS.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted between June 2021 and May 2023. The data of patients diagnosed with ACS who were hospitalized and treated in our hospital were recorded, including age and sex, smoking and comorbidity status, laboratory findings, CHA2DS2-VASc scores, prior medication use, left ventricular ejection fraction, ACS type, the synergy between percutaneous intervention with taxus drug-eluting stents and cardiac surgery (SYNTAX) scores, stent thrombosis status and mortality status.

Introduction: The optimal revascularization strategy for patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) remains an area of research and debate. Fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided complete revascularization (CR) by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has emerged as an alternative to traditional culprit-only PCI.
Objective: To investigate the outcomes of FFR-guided CR versus culprit-only PCI in patients with MI and multivessel CAD.

Department of Cardiology, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University, Yinchuan, People's Republic of China.
Objective: This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided coronary intravascular lithotripsy and rotational atherectomy in treating severe coronary artery calcification.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 60 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from October 2022 to August 2023 was conducted. The patients were divided into two groups: 30 received IVUS-guided coronary intravascular lithotripsy and 30 underwent IVUS-guided rotational atherectomy.
