Objectives: Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is a rare but serious complication following carotid artery revascularization. Considering the varying rates observed among carotid endarterectomy (CEA), Transfemoral Carotid Artery Stenting (TFCAS), and Transcarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR), identifying the predictors and complications of CHS is essential for improving patient outcomes. This study utilizes a national database to investigate the predictors and complications of CHS following carotid revascularizations.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTriple antithrombotic therapy or 'triple therapy' describes the combination of 3 oral antithrombotic medications - an anticoagulant drug (warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban or dabigatran) and 2 antiplatelet drugs (usually aspirin plus clopidogrel). Most commonly, triple therapy is indicated for patients who require dual antiplatelet therapy following coronary stent insertion for acute coronary syndrome and long-term anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation. Current evidence supports shorter durations of triple therapy to mitigate bleeding risks without compromising ischaemic protection.

Introduction: Cilostazol has been widely used to prevent peripheral vascular events after PCI. However, guidelines in cilostazol-based triple antiplatelet therapy for patients with ischemic heart disease undergoing PCI remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of DAPT (aspirin and clopidogrel) compared to cilostazol -based TAPT (aspirin, clopidogrel and cilostazol).

Objective: We describe the case of a 57-year-old male patient with anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in cardiogenic shock. Coronary angiography revealed severe left main (LM) and triple-vessel disease, and the patient was refused for surgery due to lack of distal grafting landing zone. A shaft fracture occurred during LM percutaneous coronary intervention, leaving the fractured stent hanging in the aorta.

Background: Angiography possesses limitations in assessing plaque composition, vessel width, diffuse reference vessel disease, lesion severity, and the success or failure of stent placement. Intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) helps address several of these issues by offering enhanced visualization of the coronary architecture and stent placement.
Methods: This study was conducted at the Department of Cardiology of All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh.
