ABSTRACT Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO) is an extremely challenging procedure, with intramyocardial hematoma (IMH) being one of its rare yet severe complications. In this report, we detail two cases of IMH occurring during PCI for CTO, emphasizing the importance of avoiding catheter pressure entrapment and ...

Clinical selection strategies to identify ischemic stroke patients with large anterior vessel occlusion: results from SITS-ISTR (Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke International Stroke Thrombolysis Registry) [PDF]
Background and Purpose—The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) correlates with presence of large anterior vessel occlusion (LAVO). However, the application of the full NIHSS in the prehospital setting to select patients eligible for ...

Acute Coronary Syndrome Manifesting Dynamic Electrocardiographic Changes
ABSTRACT We present a patient with acute coronary syndrome manifesting dynamic evolution from an anterior ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction electrocardiographic pattern to the de Winter electrocardiographic pattern suggestive of severe residual myocardial ischemia owing to a partially recanalized but still subtotally occluded culprit artery ...

Intramural Hematoma of the Esophagus After Thrombolysis for Ischemic Stroke [PDF]
Intramural dissecting hematoma is an unusual esophageal condition with a threatening presentation but excellent prognosis when managed conservatively.We report the case of an 88-year-old woman who developed an intramural hematoma of the esophagus after ...

ABSTRACT Aim Timely myocardial reperfusion is essential for restoring blood flow to post‐ischemic tissue, thereby reducing cardiac injury and limiting infarct size. However, this process can paradoxically result in additional, irreversible myocardial damage, known as myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury (MIRI).

Thrombolysis is associated with consistent functional improvement across baseline stroke severity: a comparison of outcomes in patients from the Virtual International Stroke Trials Archive (VISTA) [PDF]
<p><b>Background and Purpose:</b> Baseline stroke severity predicts outcomes among thrombolysed patients. The baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) thresholds are sometimes used to select patients for thrombolysis,

Dehydrocostus lactone (DHC) inhibits microglia‐mediated neuroinflammation by targeting CYP2A6, reducing the release of pro‐inflammatory factors and improving nerve function impairment, thereby alleviating ischemic brain injury. ABSTRACT Background Neuroinflammation is an important factor in ischemic stroke.

Spectrophotometric analysis of thrombolytic activity: SATA assay [PDF]
Introduction: Measurement of thrombolytic activity i.e. clot lysis is crucial for research and development of novel thrombolytics. It is also a key factor in assessment of the effectiveness of conventionally used thrombolytic agents in the clinic, which ...
