Antiplatelet and antithrombotic therapies are part of standard core treatments for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Effectiveness of these therapies, however, is often offset by the resultant hemorrhagic complications, which in turn possess significantly worse prognosis. A case of a 57-year-old man with hypertension and stable angina, on aspirin therapy, who was treated for epistaxis with intranasal cocaine, and who subsequently suffered a non-Q wave myocardial infarction is reported. Of note, the cocaine was administered in a manner which differs from that
BACKGROUND
Cardiac phenotypes should be pronounced in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) due to frequent systemic arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), iron deficiency anemia, hypoxemia, hyperdynamic circulations, venous thromboemboli, and paradoxical emboli through pulmonary AVMs.
RESULTS
In
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangectasia (HHT), also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu disease, is an autosomal dominant vascular dysplasia with high penetrance and variable expressivity. A wide variety of neurological complications have been reported in association with this condition. We report the first
A 65-year-old woman with essential thrombocythemia (ET) was admitted to hospital where she was diagnosed as acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Because of abundant thrombus of right coronary arteries, percutaneous transluminal coronary recanalization by administration of urokinase was selected as the
We describe the case of a 57 year-old woman with NSTE ACS, a history of recurrent and prolonged epistaxis, and low prior cardiovascular risk. Additional findings revealed anemia and an aneurysm in her central nervous system. During her hospital stay, hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) was
Two patients sustained an ischemic brain stem infarction during medical examination and treatment. The first patient lost consciousness and the spontaneous respiration ceased during X-ray examination of the cervical spine when the neck was hyperextended. After some minutes he regained conciousness
A 71-year-old woman complained of gingival bleeding and epistaxis, and was given a diagnosis of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. She was successfully treated with orally administered prednisolone and azathioprine. She experienced a relapse when she was 77 years old, and immunosuppressive therapy
A case of severe epistaxis with hypertension and arteriosclerosis was treated by embolizing the ipsilateral internal maxillary artery after routine methods of hemostasis had failed. Although epistaxis stopped after embolization, cerebral infarction, hemiplegia and deep coma developed, and the
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the safety and efficacy of thrombolytic treatment for an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) immediately after resuscitation in the out-of-hospital setting.
METHODS
Retrospective.
METHODS
A middle-sized urban city (population 540000) served by a single emergency medical system
We reported a 41-year-old male with paramedian thalamic and midbrain infarcts due to cerebral embolism from bilateral pulmonary arterio-venous fistula and primary medullary hemorrhage. The patient had an episode of sudden onset consciousness disturbance with left Weber's syndrome (right hemiplegia
Osler disease is an autosomal dominant disorder of the fibrovascular tissue characterized by arteriovenous malformations with multi-systemic haemorrhages. Recurrent epistaxis is the predominant symptom in more than 90% of patients. Recent studies showed circadian and seasonal patterns in the onset
OBJECTIVE
To compare the gross and microscopic appearance of antrochoanal polyps associated with recurrent epistaxis, with those with a more typical presentation.
METHODS
Prospective, controlled study.
METHODS
All patients underwent clinical and endoscopic examination, computed tomography scanning,
Our purpose was to analyze risks versus benefits of nasogastric (NG) intubation for gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding performed soon after myocardial infarction (MI). While NG intubation and aspiration is relatively safe, clinically beneficial, and routinely performed in the general population for
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder that leads to epistaxis, gastrointestinal bleeding, iron deficiency anemia, and arteriovenous malformations at the lungs, the liver, and the brain. However, due to its rarity
