Unlabelled: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) disease is often complicated by venous thrombosis and embolism. However, arterial thrombosis in a patient already on therapeutic anticoagulation is a rare occurrence. In one patient, we found thrombosis of the radial artery leading to ischemia of the fingers and lateral part of the palm. In another patient, thrombosis was found in the anterior tibial artery, resulting in ischemia of the limb and amputation. Both these patients were on a therapeutic dose of low-molecular-weight heparin. In both cases, heparin infusion was started but with little benefit. It is suggested that intensified anticoagulation should be done in patients at high-risk venous thrombosis, and prompt interventional thrombectomy should be done in cases of failure of pharmacological anticoagulation.

Introduction: Reports of pseudoaneurysms associated with biliary self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement have been increasing. Recently, cases of hepatic pseudoaneurysm rupture caused by double pigtail plastic stents (DPS) have also been reported. The symptoms of pseudoaneurysms are often non-specific, and many cases are diagnosed only after rupture.

The relationship between cancer and thrombosis was initially highlighted in the 19th century. Vascular complications in oncology can be arterial or venous thrombosis, and incidental pulmonary embolism is a growing challenge. We aimed to describe the frequency and clinical characteristics of cancer patients with incidental venous thromboembolism (iVTE).

Background: First-generation bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) increased risks of stent thrombosis and adverse events. The Bioheart scaffold is a new poly-L-lactic acid-based BRS.
Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the BRS in patients with coronary artery disease.

Background: The risk-benefit ratio of the Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) may vary before and after 3 years, the time point of complete bioresorption of the poly-L-lactic acid scaffold.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the time-varying outcomes of the Absorb BVS compared with cobalt-chromium everolimus-eluting stents (EES) from a large individual-patient-data pooled analysis of randomized trials.
Methods: The individual patient data from 5 trials that randomized 5,988 patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention to the Absorb BVS vs EES with 5-year follow-up were pooled.
