BACKGROUND
Up to 15% of patients require coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) during dual antiplatelet therapy. Available evidence suggests an association between platelet reactivity and CABG-related bleeding. However, platelet reactivity cutoffs for bleeding remain elusive. We sought to explore
High-energy phosphate levels were measured in the canine cerebral artery during chronic vasospasm. Subarachnoid hemorrhage and vasospasm were induced by percutaneous injections of autologous venous blood into the cisterna magna. Narrowing of the artery was confirmed by angiography 7 days later.
BACKGROUND
Adenosine phosphate-mediated platelet aggregation is a prognostic factor for major adverse cardiac events in patients who have undergone selective percutaneous coronary interventions. This study aimed to assess whether an adjusted loading dose of clopidogrel could more effectively inhibit
BACKGROUND
Tirofiban, an intravenous glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonist, and enoxaparin, a low molecular weight heparin, have each been shown to be effective at reducing cardiac ischemic events compared to unfractionated heparin alone in separate trials of patients with unstable angina and non-Q-wave
Enoxaparin, a low-molecular-weight heparin, and tirofiban, an intravenous platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist, have each been shown to be effective in reducing cardiac ischemic events compared to unfractionated heparin alone in separate trials of patients with unstable angina and
Acute gastric erosions following hemorrhagic shock (stress ulceration) have been attributed to gastric hyperacidity, altered gastric secretion of mucus and an abnormal permeability of the gastric mucosa to H(+). This report aims at presenting evidence supporting an alternate hypothesis: the event
"Ice-cold" gastric lavage is an important part of the treatment of bleeding from stress ulceration. The purpose of this study was to find out if cooling modifies ischemic injury of the gastric mucosa. Four series of experiments were performed in rabbits. In the first, we studied the influence of
Reperfusion therapy for myocardial infarction is limited by significant re-occlusion rates and less-than-optimal myocardial tissue perfusion. It was the objective of this study to assess and compare the effect of ticagrelor, the first reversibly binding oral P2Y12 receptor antagonist, with that of
