Background: Multiple and complicated hepatolithiasis can be associated with decompensated cirrhosis. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is unavailable for multiple and complicated hepatolithiasis, and the mainstay for decompensated cirrhosis is liver transplantation. However, due to the ethical factors and the complexity of operation, liver transplantation cannot be widely operated.

Introduction: Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) is a pathological process characterised by a blockage or non-obstructive accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques in the epicardial arteries. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is widely used in clinical practice to treat IHD. However, angina post PCI (APPCI) impairs quality of life and portends a worse prognosis.

Trimetazidine as an adjunct to standard hydration reduces the incidence of contrast-induced acute kidney injury in patients with renal insufficiency undergoing coronary angiography or percutaneous cardiac intervention: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BMC Nephrol
December 2024
Department of Nephrology, Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China.
Background: Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a known complication after coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Clinical evidence suggests that trimetazidine (TMZ), an anti-ischemic drug, may prevent CI-AKI. We aimed to evaluate the role of trimetazidine in preventing CI-AKI in patients with pre-existing renal dysfunction undergoing CAG or PCI.
