Intracoronary abciximab in STEMI using local drug delivery catheter – Single center experience
Background: Despite restoration of epicardial flow during primary PCI in STEMI, microvascular obstruction may persist as a result of both atheromatous and thrombotic embolization and vasospasm.

Breaking the Barrier: Unraveling the No-Reflow Phenomenon in Cardiovascular Medicine. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The no‐reflow phenomenon is a stubborn and often devastating complication in cardiovascular medicine, where blood flow is restored to an artery, yet the microvasculature remains unresponsive. First identified in 1967, this phenomenon has haunted clinicians and researchers alike, particularly in the context of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Diagnosis and Management of Hypersensitivity to Antiplatelet Drugs: EAACI Position Paper. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Antiplatelet drug (APD) therapy is the cornerstone for the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The main APDs are aspirin and thienopyridines, particularly clopidogrel. These drugs may induce hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs).

Modeling Versus Balancing Approaches to Addressing Instrumental Variables in Weighting: A Comparison of the Outcome-Adaptive Lasso, Stable Balancing Weighting, and Stable Confounder Selection. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Variable selection is essential for propensity score (PS)‐weighted estimators. Recent work shows that including instrumental variables (IVs), associated with only treatment but not with the outcome, can impact both the bias and precision of the PS‐weighted estimators.

Development of Reference Intervals for the TEG 6s, a Point-of-Care Viscoelastic Assay, in Dogs. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Thromboelastography (TEG) provides a global assessment of hemostasis and identifies patients with both hemorrhagic and thrombotic tendencies. Traditional TEG instruments, such as the TEG 5000 (Haemonetics), can be labor‐intensive and require specialized training to operate.
