Evidence for antithrombotic therapy after endovascular therapy (EVT) is limited. This retrospective, multicenter, observational study enrolled 732 consecutive patients with lower extremity artery disease who underwent EVT between January 2018 and December 2019. Overall, 570 patients who received single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) and dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) were selected and divided into the SAPT (n = 189) and DAPT (n = 381) groups.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of clopidogrel-related gene polymorphisms on the occurrence of recurrent thrombotic events and cardiovascular death in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: We conducted genotype testing for 26 specific loci mapped to 18 clopidogrel-associated genes in ACS patients who had undergone PCI and were receiving dual antiplatelet therapy only involving clopidogrel. We documented major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and clinical endpoints, analyzing the effect of genetic polymorphisms on treatment outcomes.

Brain aneurysms, also known as cerebral aneurysms, are the growths of the parent artery. Based on their shape, aneurysms can be categorized as saccular or non-saccular. Several factors have been linked to multiple brain aneurysms but the most prevalent is arterial hypertension.

Background: Concurrent ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are extremely rare, and their management remains perplexing due to the absence of high-quality evidence and limited resources. For the first time, we report a rare, preventable, and suboptimally managed case of concurrent AIS and STEMI in a patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) who received cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (CHOP) chemotherapy.
Case Presentation: A 59-year-old postmenopausal woman of African origin with a background history of type 2 diabetes mellitus presented to the Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute with sudden onset of left-sided weakness and typical ischemic chest pain for 3 days.
Background: Current guidelines lack recommendations regarding the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for preventing upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) among patients at low risk for UGIB treated with dual antiplatelet therapy for ischemic stroke (IS). Our objective was to assess the effectiveness of PPIs in lowering the risk of significant UGIB in this patient group.
Methods And Results: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving patients at low risk for UGIB admitted for IS between 2014 and 2018 and treated with dual antiplatelet therapy.
