In recent years, the therapeutic utility of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has received substantial attention from investigators, owing to their pleiotropic properties. The emerging insights from the developments in tissue engineering provide perspectives for the repair of damaged tissue and the replacement of failing organs. Perivascular cells including MSC-like pericytes, vascular smooth muscles, and other cells located around blood vessels, have been acknowledged to contribute to in situ angiogenesis and repair process. MSCs offer a wide array of therapeutic applications in different pathological states. However, in the current article, we have highlighted the recent updates on MSCs and their key applications in cardiac and cerebrovascular diseases, evident in different preclinical and clinical studies. We believe the present article would assist the investigators in understanding the recent advances of MSCs and exploring their therapeutic potential in varied ailments, especially cardiac and cerebrovascular diseases.

FFR-Guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention vs Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Patients With Diabetes.
JAMA Cardiol
March 2025
Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford University, Stanford, California.
Importance: Outcomes in patients with diabetes after fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using current-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) compared with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are unknown.
Objectives: To investigate the relative treatment effect of PCI vs CABG according to diabetes status with respect to major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) at 3 years and to evaluate the impact of the SYNTAX score.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This is a prespecified subgroup analysis of the FAME (Fractional Flow Reserve vs Angiography for Multivessel Evaluation) 3 trial, an investigator-initiated, randomized clinical trial conducted at 48 centers worldwide.
Progressive Cutaneous Cholesterol Emboli Syndrome.
Cureus
February 2025
Internal Medicine-Pediatrics, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, USA.
Cholesterol emboli syndrome is a rare syndrome of tissue ischemia and necrosis caused by the embolization of cholesterol crystals from atherosclerotic plaques, leading to vascular occlusion. This report documents a case of cholesterol emboli syndrome in a 72-year-old male with multiple cardiovascular risk factors including end-stage renal disease, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and type 2 diabetes. We describe this patient's atypical presentation with upper extremity rather than lower extremity digital ischemia as a presenting sign and significant subsequent functional decline exacerbated by his comorbidities.

Int J Stroke
March 2025
Boston University School of Medicine, Medical Campus, Neurology Department, MA 02118, USA.
Background: Cerebral microbleeds (CMB) signal cerebral small vessel disease and are associated with ischemic stroke. While illicit drug use (IDU) is linked to cerebral vasculopathy, the association between CMB and IDU is poorly characterized.
Aims: Our primary aim was to explore the relationship between IDU and CMB and delineate differences in vascular risk factors between those with and without CMB.
