AI Article Synopsis
- A 37-year-old male patient experienced a blockage in the left anterior descending (LAD) artery 45 days after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) but refused immediate medical intervention.
- Two years later, a follow-up angiography revealed spontaneous recanalization of the LAD, showing unique structural changes through optical coherence tomography (OCT).
- The blockage was successfully treated with a drug-coated balloon, leading to excellent results for the patient.
Article Abstract
In instances where a patient with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) did not undergo immediate reperfusion therapy during the acute phase, there was a risk of the occlusion progressing to chronic and the chances of spontaneous recanalization decreasing. This case report detailed the experience of a 37-year-old male patient who, 45 days post-AMI, still had a blocked left anterior descending (LAD) artery due to the patient's refusal for intervention. Two years later, a follow-up coronary angiography showed spontaneous recanalization of the LAD artery, with haziness in the middle segment. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed a honeycomb-like structure in the mid-LAD with a minimum area of 0.55 mm. The lesion was effectively treated with a drug-coated balloon, resulting in an excellent outcome.

Performance: Spontaneous dissections of the cerebral arteries are among the leading causes of stroke in young adults. They result from hemorrhage into the outer layers of the arterial wall, which can lead to stenosis or even complete vessel occlusion. Clinical presentations vary, ranging from localized pain to cerebral ischemic complications.

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 And Aims: We assessed clinical, procoagulant and genetic risk factors and clinical outcomes in dabigatran-treated patients with non-tumoural acute and acute-on-chronic portal vein thrombosis (PVT).
Methods: Patients with a new diagnosis of non-tumoural acute and acute-on-chronic PVT between January 2021 and January 2024 (aged ≥ 18 years) in those without/with cirrhosis (Child-Pugh (CP)-A/B/C ≤ 10) were started on dabigatran and followed and compared with those on vitamin K antagonist (VKA) and untreated individuals.
Results: Dabigatran was prescribed in 119 patients with PVT type 1 (61, 51.

Background: Chronic endometritis (CE), frequently asymptomatic, is associated with female infertility. Fallopian tube obstruction (FTO) is also one of the factors contributing to female infertility. More than 90% of cases of proximal FTO can be successfully treated after fallopian tubal recanalization (FTR) and the spontaneous pregnancy rate of treated women after FTR is only about 30%.
