Abstract
Abstract
We hypothesized that myocardial injury would be reduced in late STEMI by proximal embolic protection (PEP).
31 patients with first STEMI 12-24 hr after pain onset and TIMI 0-1 flow were treated with or without PEP (cohort design matched for age, gender, and infarct-related artery). Contrast-enhanced...

Abstract
Subclavian artery stenosis represents a relatively lower rate for upper extremity emboli source. Subclavian artery stenosis with thrombus localized distal to the stenosis was diagnosed on the arteriography of a patient who had a history of three previous brachial artery embolectomies. In this report...

Abstract
Many studies have demonstrated the value of echocardiography in the assessment of critically ill patients in the intensive care unit and emergency room settings, including more recently the use of focused echocardiography. This can be performed within the time frame allowed during the pulse check of...

Abstract
Power M-mode transcranial Doppler identifies a subgroup of patients with malignant MES. These signals are more frequent in longer arterial trajectory. Patients with malignant MES have larger baseline infarcts, a higher prevalence of intraluminal thrombus or ulcerated plaque in the carotid artery, an...

Abstract
Embolus trajectory through the cerebral arteries is dependent on embolus size and strongly favors the MCA for large emboli. The 70:30 ratio of MCA:anterior cerebral artery emboli observed by Doppler ultrasound is consistent with the trajectories of small emboli that tend to be asymptomatic....

Abstract
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) has been shown to be superior to thrombolysis in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) in reducing death, stroke and re-infarction. However, bleeding and thrombotic complications can occur despite successfu...

Abstract
AZD0837 is an investigational oral anticoagulant which is converted to the active form, AR-H067637, a selective direct thrombin inhibitor. The present study, a multicentre, randomised, parallel-group, dose-guiding study, assessed the safety and tolerability of an immediate-release formulation of AZD...

Abstract
The patient underwent anticoagulation therapy without removal of screw. After 2 weeks, the thrombus had disappeared. Subsequently, the pedicle screws were removed. At final follow-up, the patient complained of a grade 4/5 hemiparesis, facial nerve palsy, and hearing loss in his left ear. CONCLUSION:...

Abstract
In the literature there is no consensus how to treat a symptomatic floating aortic thrombus. This report shows that therapeutic strategies are influenced by the localisation of the thrombus, the co-morbidities of the patient and the physician' s preferences. Endovascular treatment in combination wit...

Abstract
We report an unusual presentation of cardiac papillary fibroelastoma of the aortic valve in a 62-year-old man. The fibroelastoma caused a left main coronary artery embolus and symptoms of acute coronary syndrome. The fibroelastoma was successfully excised during a valve-sparing surgical procedure. W...

Abstract
Mesenteric ischemia in the elderly is an uncommon but often fatal disorder for which the prognosis depends entirely on the speed and accuracy of the diagnosis. A high index of suspicion is required as the early signs and symptoms, at a time when ischemic changes are reversible, are typically nonspec...

Abstract
Provisional GP IIb/IIIa use in bivalirudin-treated patients is higher in contemporary non-emergent PCI practice than that seen in randomized trials and is associated with similar in-hospital ischemic events, but more frequent bleeding events. These data suggest that a strategy of bivalirudin monothe...

Abstract
Percutaneous closure of PFO is a feasible procedure, but it is not a risk-free technique. However, in correctly selected patients (ie, large PFO and those at risk for neurologic relapse), nearly complete PFO closure seems to provide protection from future neurologic ischaemic events at midterm follo...
