OBJECTIVE
In 1998, 2947 patients in metropolitan Phoenix were hospitalized for acute cerebral infarction. Only 2 of the 26 regional hospitals satisfied criteria for primary stroke center (PSC) designation. Fewer than 1% of patients with ischemic stroke received tissue plasminogen activator for
A 50-year-old man presented to the emergency department (ED) following an overdose of his "blood thinners." The patient had become increasingly depressed over financial concerns, prompting a suicide attempt. He declined to provide any details regarding his current medications or his past medical
OBJECTIVE
To examine the safety and efficacy of cangrelor in patients with single-vessel disease (SVD) and multi-vessel disease (MVD).
BACKGROUND
Cangrelor, an intravenous, rapidly acting P2Y12 inhibitor, is superior to clopidogrel in reducing ischemic events among patients receiving percutaneous
Stroke can be a devastating complication in patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) infection. Paradoxical septic embolism can occur in the presence of device leads and patent foramen ovale (PFO) via embolic dislodgment during transvenous lead removal Saccular aneurysms that arise from the origin of or along a lenticulostriate artery are rarely observed. In general, occlusion of the lenticulostriate artery is discouraged because of the risk of a capsular infarction. This patient was a woman with moyamoya disease who demonstrated a fusiform
Broad-based aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery M1 bifurcation usually involve aneurysmal inclusion of an M2 vessel wall within the neck. This necessitates a consideration of performing a bypass to preserve the patency of distal perfusion. The patient in this video is a 17-yr-old man who
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate association of serum visfatin with CKD secondary to diabetic nephropathy and to compare it with patients of CKD secondary to other risk factors.
METHODS
Seventy eight individuals including 28 healthy controls and 50 patients of CKD were included in this study. Patients with CKD
Transcatheter left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has become a suitable alternative to anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, volume-outcome relationships at the individual operator level have not been studied.Study Electroencephalography is used in neurocritical care for detection of seizures and assessment of cortical function. Due to limited resolution from scalp electroencephalography, important abnormalities may not be readily detectable. We aimed to identify whether intracranial OBJECTIVE
To outline the complications after endovascular repair in patients with acute symptomatic and chronic expanding Stanford type B aortic dissections.
METHODS
Between 1997 and 2004, of 125 patients with acute and chronic aortic type B dissections, 88 were treated conservatively. Thirty-seven
BACKGROUND
Current guidelines (American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association) for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) limit the performance of elective cases to hospitals with the capability for cardiac surgery. The number of hospitals in the United States with this capability is
