Patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) or non-ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are at risk of death or recurrent ischemic events, despite receiving aspirin and unfractionated heparin (UFH). This study investigates the effect of the low molecular weight heparin,
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by vascular malformations, and many clinical complications are related to pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) because they provide direct right-to-left shunts. Paradoxical emboli through these shunts are
For patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), procedural anticoagulation with bivalirudin was previously shown to significantly reduce bleeding complications at the cost of a modest increase in ischemic events compared with unfractionated heparin (UFH) and glycoprotein
We describe a patient with intracystic hemorrhage from one of multiple hepatic cysts. A 66-year-old woman was admitted to Nippon Medical School Hospital because of pain in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. The medical history included multiple hepatic cysts and angina pectoris, which had been
Coronary artery plaque morphology was studied in 354 five-mm segments of the 4 major (left main, left anterior descending, left circumflex and right) epicardial coronary arteries in 10 patients with isolated unstable angina pectoris with pain at rest. The 4 major coronary arteries were sectioned at
A 41-year-old man developed persistent angina pectoris following blunt trauma to his chest. Three months after the injury coronary angiography demonstrated 80% obstruction of the mid-left anterior descending coronary artery. There was no evidence of atherosclerosis in the remaining coronary
A 65-year-old man was admitted to a local hospital with symptoms of unstable angina pectoris. He was administered ticlopidine before drug eluting stent (DES) stenting for 2 weeks. Coronary angiography showed 3 vessel diseases. He was then admitted to our hospital due to a sudden onset of unstable
Coronary intraplaque hemorrhage up-regulates hemoglobin scavenger receptor CD163 expression on macrophages, and has an association with vulnerable plaque development. During percutaneous coronary intervention, mechanical plaque disruption exposes potentially embolic atheromatous contents from
BACKGROUND
Sclerotization of esophageal varices may result in serious esophageal destruction. Elastic band ligation of esophageal varices is recently used in similar indications.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to evaluate in a pilot study the efficacy and safety of elastic band ligation for
Clinical trials have demonstrated a prophylactic role for aspirin in myocardial infarction and in unstable angina pectoris. The Swedish Angina Pectoris Aspirin Trial (SAPAT) is the first prospective study of aspirin in stable angina. 2035 patients were randomised double-blind to treatment with
The frequency and type of acute lesions in the four major (right, left main, left anterior descending, left circumflex) epicardial coronary arteries were examined at necropsy in 14 patients with unstable angina pectoris, 21 patients with sudden coronary death and 32 patients with a fatal first acute
Important theoretical advantages of low molecular weight heparins compared to standard heparin include better inactivation of the coagulation mechanism as well as better bioavailability and pharmacokinetic properties. In patients with unstable angina pectoris/non-Q wave infarction these advantages
