Thrombophilia is a disorder that makes patients susceptible to intravascular thrombosis that may increase the risk of developing a pregnancy on a known pathology. The female patient diagnosed with hypoplastic uterus and hereditary thrombophilia had a favorable evolution under properly administered anticoagulant treatment. The homozygous status for the C677T mutation may lead to an increase in plasma homocysteine levels, especially in pregnant women, being an associated risk factor for thrombosis. The risk of developing intravascular thrombosis requires primary prevention measures by adding D-dimers in the early diagnostic algorithm, being the most accurate marker of hypercoagulability and endogenous fibrinolysis. The corroboration of the hypercoagulability status with the results of genotyping, the frequencies of the minor/major alleles studied, single mononucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the establishment of preventive therapy, aims to prevent intravascular thrombosis and thromboembolic phenomena.

Background: Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a potentially fatal condition which is always secondary to an underlying disorder with abruption being the most common cause in obstetrics.Our study analysed the modified International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis DIC score for prediction of DIC in cases of abruptio placentae. Additionally, we correlated the score with severity of abruption to optimize its use in limited resource settings.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates various techniques for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to determine which yields the best patient outcomes.
- It analyzes data from 39 randomized trials involving over 29,000 patients, highlighting that intravascular imaging (like OCT and IVUS) and physiology-guided strategies (like FFR) significantly reduce cardiac death compared to traditional coronary angiography (CA).
- Overall, the results suggest that OCT is the most effective guidance method, leading to lower rates of myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and all-cause mortality compared to CA.
Long-term Follow-up Optical Coherence Tomography Assessment of Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Unprotected Left Main.
Rev Cardiovasc Med

Department of Cardiology, University Clinical Center of Serbia, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia.
Background: Elective unprotected left main (ULM) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has long-term mortality rates comparable to surgical revascularization, thanks to advances in drug-eluting stent (DES) design, improved PCI techniques, and frequent use of intravascular imaging. However, urgent PCI of ULM culprit lesions remains associated with high in-hospital mortality and unfavourable long-term outcomes, including DES restenosis and stent thrombosis (ST). This analysis aimed to examine the long-term outcomes and healing of DES implanted in ULM during primary PCI using high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging.

Objective: The key to increasing the success rate of limb preservation lies in timely restoration of the blood supply to the severed limb, This study examines the clinical effect of a disposable intravenous infusion device as a temporary vascular shunt device which can quickly restore blood circulation in the replantation of severed limbs.
Methods: A retrospective review of all amputated major limbs in our department from May 2005 to May 2022. Patients treated with intravenous infusion tubes as temporary vascular shunt devices were included in group A(shunt group ) and those who could not use temporary intravascular shunt devices were included in group B (no shunt group).
