AI Article Synopsis

  • Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism increase the risk of cardiovascular issues, with both conditions showing a U-shaped relationship with thyroid-stimulating hormone levels.
  • Several known mechanisms connect thyroid disorders to cardiovascular diseases, including endothelial dysfunction, blood pressure changes, and inflammation.
  • Research on how these thyroid conditions specifically affect peripheral arterial disease hasn't been thoroughly explored in clinical trials.

Article Abstract

Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, both overt and subclinical, are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The association between thyroid-stimulating hormone levels and cardiovascular risk has been demonstrated in large epidemiological studies and meta-analyses and is now considered a U-shaped curve. Several pathophysiological mechanisms linking thyroid and cardiovascular disease are known; however, specific clinical complications of peripheral arterial disease as endpoints of clinical trials have not been adequately investigated. The potential mechanisms linking hypothyroidism and peripheral arterial disease are endothelial dysfunction, blood pressure changes, dyslipidemia, and low-grade systemic inflammation. The potential mechanisms linking hyperthyroidism and peripheral arterial disease are hyperdynamic circulation, elevated systolic blood pressure, hypercoagulability, and possibly increased arterial inflammation.

Background: The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are novel inflammation-related markers calculated based on peripheral blood count. Data on biomarkers for the prognosis of peripheral artery disease (PAD) are limited. We aimed to evaluate the impact of these four inflammation-related biomarkers on mid-term restenosis and mortality rates in PAD patients.

Aims: This study aims to verify the feasibility and safety of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after a distal transradial approach (dTRA) with radial artery occlusion (RAO) recanalization.

Methods: Between July 2018 and January 2022, 30 patients underwent PCI following attempted RAO recanalization via dTRA. Among these cases, the target radial arteries could not be recanalized in five patients, necessitating alternative vascular access.

Tandem occlusion due to acute cervical carotid artery dissection should be promptly treated with thrombectomy for reperfusion. If the cervical lesion has reached severe stenosis or complete occlusion, balloon angioplasty and, in certain cases, carotid artery stenting should be performed before thrombectomy for the intracranial lesion. Angioplasty or stent placement is performed in the true lumen, but securing the placement is challenging when the true lumen cannot be determined.

Background: Limited data exist on the impact of polyvascular disease (PolyVD) on clinical outcomes in female patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We therefore sought to investigate clinical outcomes in women with versus without PolyVD undergoing TAVR.

Methods: Female participants from the multicentre Women's International Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (WIN-TAVI) registry were categorized based on the presence or absence of PolyVD.
