This retrospective study aims to explore the sex disparity in dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) noncompliance among left main stem percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients with drug-eluting stent (DES) and identify predictors associated with non-adherence. Data were collected from the medical records of 1585 patients, including 1104 males and 481 females, who underwent left main stem PCI with DES. Baseline characteristics, angiographic features, and DAPT compliance rates at 1 month and 12 months were analyzed. Univariate logistic regression was used to identify predictors of DAPT noncompliance. The overall DAPT noncompliance rate at 1 month was 8.5%, increasing to 15.5% at 12 months. Females exhibited slightly higher noncompliance rates than males at both 1 month (15.6% vs 14.5%) and 12 months (28.1% vs 19.0%), although the difference was not statistically significant. Smoking status showed a modest impact on non-adherence, with current smokers exhibiting a lower noncompliance rate (14.9% at 1 month). Prior coronary artery disease history was associated with increased noncompliance at 12 months (18.9%). Angiographic characteristics, including lesion location and Syntax score, had no consistent association with DAPT noncompliance. This study highlights sex disparity in DAPT noncompliance among patients undergoing left main stem PCI with DES. Comorbidities, socioeconomic status, smoking status, and prior coronary artery disease history were identified as predictors of non-adherence.

Managing acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with a recent history of gastrointestinal bleeding presents a unique and challenging clinical dilemma, necessitating a careful balance between minimizing ischemic risk and avoiding potentially life-threatening rebleeding. Standard treatment for ACS typically involves dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to prevent recurrent thrombotic events. However, in patients with recent gastrointestinal hemorrhage or significant anemia, these therapies may substantially increase the risk of life-threatening bleeding, complicating the decision-making process and often leading to conservative management strategies.

Objective: Prior studies have emphasized the importance of compliance with preoperative dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in patients undergoing TransCarotid artery revascularization (TCAR). This investigation examines differences in perioperative outcomes following TCAR in those receiving loading dose of antiplatelet medications on the day of the procedure versus those already maintained on DAPT.
Methods: Consecutive TCAR procedures from the Vascular Quality Initiative (2016-2022) were identified.

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a soft tissue tumor primarily occurring in immunosuppressed patients and, although it has been described, dissemination of KS is rare. This case involves a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and biopsy-proven cutaneous KS presenting with hematemesis suspected due to gastrointestinal involvement in whom endoscopy with biopsy was contraindicated due to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and the hypervascular nature of KS tumors. Alternatively, the diagnosis was made via macroscopic findings on bronchoscopy, which demonstrated neovascular lesions, confirming visceral KS.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a significant health concern that has affected approximately 110 million people worldwide. CAD is defined as persistent narrowing of the coronary arteries as a result of atherosclerotic plaque build-up. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which encompasses ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and unstable angina, often results from plaque ruptures.
