Patients undergoing colonoscopy are increasingly taking antithrombotic medication. These patients, who are generally older, also have a higher prevalence of colon polyps. Therefore, it is general practice to modify or discontinue antithrombotic treatment before colonoscopy, to reduce the risk of post-polypectomy bleeding (PPB). However, this modification increases the risk of thrombotic events. Currently, the main clinical guidelines recommend cold-snare resection for polyps smaller than 10mm because of its better safety profile, especially in reducing post-polypectomy bleeding. This reduced PPB rate could open the door to maintaining antithrombotic drugs in patients undergoing colonoscopy. This review aims to evaluate the evidence available so far that may support a modification of current guidelines on the management of antithrombotic drugs in the periendoscopic period.

To analyze the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of pediatric myocardial infarction (MI) patients with coronary artery lesions (CAL) after Kawasaki disease (KD). Clinical data including baseline characteristics, KD and CAL information, clinical symptoms at MI onset, electrocardiogram (ECG) and imaging findings, MI treatment, and clinical outcomes of 41 MI patients with CAL after KD admitted to the Children's Hospital of Fudan University from January 2017 to August 2024 were analyzed retrospectively. (1) Demographic characteristics: a total of 41 patients were included (36 males and 5 females).

Aim: During coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the incidence rate of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in hospitalized patients seemed higher than before the pandemic. Severe inflammation triggered by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was cited as an explanation. We aimed to determine whether COVID-19 infection was associated with a higher risk of ADRs compared to other infectious diseases.

However, the relationship between the use of antithrombotic agents, including direct oral anticoagulants, and post-EST bleeding remains unclear. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for post-EST delayed bleeding when antithrombotic agents were administered according to the guidelines.

The Impact of Genetic Polymorphism on Complication Development in Heart Failure Patients.

Despite the high progress that has been made in the field of cardiology, the left ventricular assist device (LVAD) can still cause complications (thrombosis/bleeding) in heart failure (HF) patients after implantation. Complications develop due to the incorrect dose of antithrombotic therapy, due to the influence of the non-physiological shear stress of the device, and also due to inherited genetic polymorphisms. Therefore, the aim of our study is to identify the influence of the genetic polymorphisms on complication development in HF patients with implanted LVADs with prescribed antiplatelet therapy.
