Adherence to guideline-recommended therapies for peripheral artery disease (PAD), including pharmacotherapy (antiplatelet, lipid-lowering, and antihypertensive agents) and lifestyle modifications (smoking cessation, diet, weight management, and physical activity) remains low. Though single-component interventions targeting smoking cessation, exercise, or medication adherence show some efficacy, comprehensive multicomponent interventions are vital for addressing the complexity of PAD management. This review systematically synthesized multicomponent interventions for patients with PAD.

Abdominal aortic aneurysms are the most common types of aneurysms worldwide, whereas aneurysms in the blood vessels of the abdominal organs (splanchnic aneurysms) are rare. Few studies have reported cases of two giant aneurysms occurring simultaneously. Presented here is a case of a 67-year-old man who began to experience periumbilical pain with a diagnosis of a giant abdominal aortic aneurysm and a hepatic artery aneurysm.

Background: P2Y inhibitor-based single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) after drug-eluting stent implantation reduces major bleeding without increasing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events compared with 12-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). The differential effects of P2Y inhibitor monotherapy compared with conventional DAPT in patients with chronic coronary syndromes versus acute coronary syndromes (ACS) remain uncertain.
Methods And Results: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for randomized controlled trials comparing oral P2Y inhibitor-based SAPT after ≤3 months DAPT versus 12-month DAPT after newer-generation drug-eluting stent implantation.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a relatively rare and underdiagnosed condition that can lead to acute coronary syndrome (ACS), with a notable incidence in young female patients without traditional cardiovascular risk factors. We present an unusual case of SCAD in a young male patient in the absence of common predisposing factors such as fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), connective tissue disorders, and systemic inflammatory conditions. A 29-year-old man presenting with chest pain was diagnosed with SCAD involving the left anterior descending artery (LAD), resulting in an acute myocardial infarction (MI).

Background: Major bleedings following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have significant implications on outcomes in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. Owing fears of fatal bleedings in case of urgent CABG, current guidelines recommend a cessation of P2Y receptor antagonists (P2Y-RA) before cardiac surgery and opt against routine pre-treatment with a P2Y-RA before coronary angiography (CA). However, sparse information exists outside randomized trials on the frequency of urgent CABG and the consequences of inappropriately long cessation of P2Y-RA treatment in patients presenting with ACS.
