Is thrombolysis beneficial in elderly patients with minor ischemic stroke?

Frontiers in Stroke
IntroductionA pooled analysis of data from randomized controlled trials showed that thrombolysis is an effective treatment in patients older than 80 years of age with acute ischemic stroke. However, the outcomes in daily clinical practice may differ from

Calcified Plaque Detachment: Alternative Calcified Plaque Modification After Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Calcified plaque (CP) detachment (CD) and calcium fracture (CF) can occur following coronary intravascular lithotripsy (IVL). The extent to which CF alone facilitates stent expansion during CP modification with IVL remains unclear. Aims This study aimed to investigate the clinical implications of IVL‐induced CD.

Coronary Perforation During Excimer Laser Angioplasty in a Patient With Prior Thoracic Radiotherapy

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Management of heavily calcified coronary lesions remains challenging despite advances in plaque‐modifying technologies. Excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) is an effective adjunctive strategy with a low risk of no‐reflow. Case Summary A 75‐year‐old woman with non–ST‐segment elevation acute coronary syndrome and severe left ...

Association of higher triglyceride–glucose index and triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio with early neurological deterioration after thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke patients

Frontiers in Neurology
BackgroundInsulin resistance (IR) can predict the prognosis of patients suffering from cerebrovascular disorders. The triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index and triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio have been confirmed to be ...

Clinical Outcomes of Drug‐Eluting Stents and Drug‐Coated Balloons in Tortuous Small Coronary Lesions

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In small, tortuous coronary lesions, the long‐term comparative performance of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty versus drug‐eluting stent (DES) treatment remains uncertain, despite both strategies being widely used in contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) practice. Aims This study aimed to compare 3‐year clinical

Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Guided by High‐Definition Intravascular Ultrasound (The SPECTRUM Study)

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Limited data are available on the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in patients presenting with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Aims This study aimed to assess the impact of IVUS‐guided primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

A Large Retrospective Study to Evaluate Utility of Zephyr Covered Stent in Transcatheter Closure of Sinus Venosus Defects

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter closure (TCC) of sinus venosus defects (SVD) using balloon‐expandable covered stents is an emerging alternative to surgery. ZephyrCS (Sahajanand Laser Technologies, Gandhinagar, India) is available in long lengths to suit SVD closure.

Treatment Difficulties in High Risk Pulmonary Embolism. A Case Report

Journal of Cardiovascular Emergencies, 2016
Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a common and potentially life-threatening cardiovascular emergency. Systemic thrombolysis with intravenous infusion of a thrombolytic agent is generally recommended for treatment of high risk PE.

Clinical Impact of Adherence to Fractional Flow Reserve Guidance in Acute Coronary Syndrome

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is established to guide revascularization in stable coronary disease and non‐culprit lesions in acute coronary syndromes (ACS). However, real‐world adherence to FFR guidance across the spectrum of ACS presentations, including ambiguous culprit scenarios, remains incompletely characterized.
