Introduction: The association of coronary stent malapposition (SM) and adverse clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unclear. We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized and observational studies to assess the association between acute and persistent SM detected using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) or optical coherence tomography (OCT) and adverse cardiovascular outcomes.

Evidence Acquisition: Available studies were identified through a systematic search of PubMed, reference lists of relevant articles, and Medline. Main efficacy outcomes of interest were: device-oriented composite endpoint (DoCE, including cardiac death, myocardial infarction [MI], target lesion revascularization [TLR], and stent thrombosis [ST]), major safety events (MSE, including cardiac death, MI and ST), TLR, and ST. A sensitivity analysis regarding the impact of major malapposition was also performed.

Evidence Synthesis: A total of 9 studies enrolling 6497 patients were included in the meta-analysis. After a mean follow-up of 24±14 months, overall acute and/or persistent malapposition was not significantly associated with the occurrence of all the outcomes of interest, including DoCE (risk ratio [RR] 1.00, 95% confidence interval [CI, 0.79-1.26], P=0.99), MSE (RR 1.42, 95%CI [0.81-2.50], P=0.22), TLR (RR 0.84, 95%CI [0.59-1.19], P=0.33), and ST (RR 1.16, 95%CI [0.48-2.85], P=0.74). In the sensitivity analysis, we found a significant increase of MSE in patients with major malapposition (RR 2.97, 95%CI [1.51-5.87], P=0.001).

Conclusions: Acute and persistent SM were not overall associated with adverse cardiovascular clinical outcomes at follow-up. However, major malapposition was associated with an increased risk of major safety events, including cardiac death, MI and ST. These findings should be taken into account during stent implantation and PCI optimization.

Cardiogenic shock (CS) is associated with high mortality, particularly in women. With early intervention being a cornerstone of CS management, this study aims to explore whether sex differences exist in the utilization of critical interventions, timing of treatment, and in-hospital mortality for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and non-AMI-CS. For this retrospective cohort study, we queried the National Inpatient Sample (years 2016-2021) for CS-related hospitalizations.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Related Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection during pregnancy was associated with a number of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including miscarriage, preeclampsia, preterm birth, and stillbirth. The virus persistence can last for a long time, and the consequences of a previous coronavirus infection are currently under study. This study aimed to establish the clinical features of the course of pregnancy and childbirth in women with a history of asymptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Background: A patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) presented with a cardiac mass of unknown nature. This case underscores the importance of careful monitoring and a multidisciplinary approach in managing and differentiation of rare cardiac complications in leukemia patients. It aims to improve diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic outcomes in similar challenging scenarios.

Background: Migraine is the most common complex neurological disorder, affecting over a billion people worldwide. Neurogenic inflammation has long been recognized as a key factor in the pathophysiology of migraine though little research has been directed to investigating whether inflammation is greatest in migraine with aura or without, and whether inflammation is a permanent state in migraine or whether is an event related transitory state. Thus, the primary aim of this single-centre, retrospective study was to explore the potential clinical utility of the Serial Systemic Immune-Inflammatory Indices (SSIIi) as a comparative measure of duration and severity of inflammation derived from routine blood cell counts in migraine patients with aura and no-aura both within an acute inpatient setting and as outpatients.
