Simultaneous onset of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke in a patient with atrial fibrillation: Multiple territory injury revealed on angiography and magnetic resonance
An 84-year-old man with a history of hypertension and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) who received no anticoagulant drugs experienced acute chest pain and transient loss of consciousness. He was transferred to our emergency room. His initial electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm with ST-segment elevation in the I, aVL, and V1–V6 leads. His blood pressure was 158/92mmHg and his pulse was regular at 70beats per minute. A chest radiograph showed increased heart size and pulmonary vascular congestion. His troponin T level was elevated (more than 0.1ng/mL). He was diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) and...

Effects of Smoking on Ischemic Stroke, Intracranial Hemorrhage, and Coronary Artery Events in Japanese Patients With Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation.

Abstract
The effects of smoking on the prognosis of non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients are unclear.The Shinken Database 2004-11 (n = 17,517) includes all new patients visiting the Cardiovascular Institute between June 2004 and March 2012. Among these cases, 2,102 NVAF patients were identified. The effects of smoking on ischemic stroke (IS), intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and coronary artery events including percutaneous c...

Relationship of stroke and bleeding risk profiles to efficacy and safety of dabigatran dual therapy versus warfarin triple therapy in atrial fibrillation after PCI: An ancillary analysis from the RE-DUAL PCI trial
ConclusionDabigatran dual therapy reduced bleeding events irrespective of bleeding risk category and demonstrated similar efficacy regardless of stroke risk category when compared with warfarin triple therapy.

Rescue thrombolysis in the treatment of cardiac shock and acute stroke
The patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction are primarily managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or thrombolysis. It is well accepted that rescue PCI should be implemented in case of unsuccessful thrombolysis. However, the reverse, rescue thrombolysis, that is, administering of thrombolytic therapy in a patient in whom primary PCI fails, is not well defined. There are no available data about rescue thrombolysis so far. We represent a 43-year-old male patient with Buerger disease (thromboangiitis obliterans) who was admitted to our emergency department for cardiac shock related to inferior and right ...

Thrombolytic therapy-associated acute myocardial infarction in patients with acute ischemic stroke: A treatment dilemma
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is uncommon in the acute phase of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and occurs in approximately 1% of the population. Here, we report a paradoxical case of AMI during tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) infusion for AIS. We review and analyze the previously reported cases. We found that only patients with AMI which occurred after thrombolytic therapy for AIS who received an adequate combination of anticoagulation plus percutaneous coronary intervention survived their events.

Adverse Impact of Peri-Procedural Stroke in Patients Who Underwent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Peri-procedural stroke (PPS) is an important complication in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The extent to which PPS impacts mortality and outcomes remains to be defined. Consecutive patients who underwent PCI enrolled in the Victorian Cardiac Outcomes Registry (2014 to 2018) were categorized into PPS and no PPS groups. The primary outcome was 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) (composite of mortality, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and unplanned revascularization).

Simultaneous thrombosis of 2 vascular territories: is thrombolytic therapy a better option?
We have read with great interest the article by Akyuz and colleagues in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine and congratulate them for their observation. Their case exemplifies the concurrent occurrence of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and posterior circulation stroke that was eventually managed with thrombolytic therapy. Simultaneous thrombosis of 2 distant vascular territories is a rare and complicated clinical scenario. In these instances, there is usually an underlying cause linking both thrombotic events rather than being a mere coincidence. We have previously described the myocardial infarc...

Assessment of Ticagrelor Versus Clopidogrel Treatment in Patients With ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Conclusions: Among patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI, ticagrelor reduces the incidence of MACCE and the composite end point of cardiovascular death, nonfatal MI, and stroke compared with clopidogrel. Ticagrelor also reduces the need for GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors. However, no significant difference was observed in the risk of bleeding between the 2 groups.

Dual anti-platelet therapy following percutaneous coronary intervention in a population of patients with thrombocytopenia at baseline: a meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: According to the results of this analysis, DAPT might have to be cautiously be used following PCI in a population of patients with thrombocytopenia at baseline due to the significantly higher bleeding rate including gastro-intestinal, intra-cranial bleeding and hemorrhagic stroke. Hence, special care might have to be taken when considering anti-platelet agents following PCI in these high risk patients. However, considering the present limitations of this analysis, this hypothesis will have to be confirmed in future trials.

Antithrombotic strategy variability in atrial fibrillation and obstructive coronary disease revascularised with percutaneous coronary intervention: primary results from the AVIATOR 2 international registry
CONCLUSIONS: The AVIATOR 2 study is the first digital health study examining physician-patient perspectives on ATT choices after AF-PCI. TT was the most common strategy without differences in 1-year outcomes in ATT strategy. Physicians rated safety first when prescribing ATT; patients feared stroke over bleeding.CLINICALTRIALS: gov: NCT02362659.PMID:35656720 | DOI:10.4244/EIJ-D-21-01044
