Introduction: Older patients may be denied endovascular revascularization of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) for peripheral artery disease (PAD) due to concerns of worse limb outcomes than younger patients.
Methods: We assessed adverse outcomes in patients after an index revascularization stratified by age (age < 65, 65-75 years, and > 75 years) from two centers between 2003 and 2011 and followed a median 9 (25 %-75 %: 7, 11) years. Outcomes included major adverse limb events (MALE) or minor repeat revascularization, death, and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE).

Background: Radix Paeoniae Rubra (RPR), an edible and medicinal Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is extensively employed in therapeutic interventions of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, the curative effect of RPR on ischemic stroke remains ambiguous. This work integrated network pharmacology, molecular docking, and experimental validation to explore the mechanisms of RPR in treating ischemic stroke.

Objective: Lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) is a prevalent condition that produces a significant burden on health care systems. Patients with LEAD have an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events as well as major adverse limb events. Despite significant variation in guidance on antiplatelet therapy for LEAD worldwide, many governing bodies recommend clopidogrel as the preferred single anti-platelet agent.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: 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.
