State of the art regarding anticoagulant and thrombolytic therapy in dental procedures.
Authors: Lazăr AC, Ilea A, Moldovan B, Ionel A, Pop AS, Păcurar M, Câmpian RS Abstract Patients with anticoagulant therapy have a high thromboembolic risk. Due to the rich oro-maxillofacial vasculature and the fact that some dental procedures may cause a bleeding, the physician should be able to correlate this risk with the hemorrhagic risk. Dental procedures are a trigger for psychic stress. One of the most important changes in acute stress is in cardiovascular system. In healthy patients, these changes are reversible and have no significant consequences, but in patients with cardiovascular diseases, the respon...

Pre-hospital Triage of Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients —Importance of Considering More Than Two Transport Options
Conclusion: Pre-hospital triage algorithms for AIS patients that only take into account the nearest CSC and the nearest PSC as transport destinations may be unable to identify the optimal transport destination for a significant proportion of patients. Introduction Background International guidelines recommend early administration of intravenous thrombolysis for eligible patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS); in addition, patients with proximal large vessel occlusion (LVO) should receive mechanical thrombectomy (MT) as quickly as possible (1). As the clinical benefit of both thrombolysis (2–4) and MT (5&#...

Timing of Anticoagulant Re-Initiation following Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Mechanical Heart Valves: Survey of Neurosurgeons and Thrombosis Experts
While oral anticoagulation is universally recommended among patients with mechanical heart valves (MHVs) [1], there is limited evidence to guide clinicians in managing patients who suffer intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), a feared complication of anticoagulant treatment estimated to occur at 2-3% per patient-year [2]. In particular, the timing of oral anticoagulant (OAC) re-initiation following stabilization of hemorrhage is challenged by the intricate need to balance the risks of valve thrombosis and ischemic stroke with those of recurrent bleeding.
