Simultaneous cardiocerebral infarctions: a five-year retrospective case series reviewing natural history
CONCLUSION: CCI is a rare but devastating clinical scenario, with high incidence of morbidity and mortality. Treatment strategy can impact patient outcome, and further research is warranted on the ideal acute and post-reperfusion treatments for CCI. In this series, IV tPA at stroke doses appeared to be the preferred initial step for its treatment, with subsequent coronary or cerebral endovascular therapy, if necessary.PMID:33866711 | DOI:10.11622/smedj.2021043

Age and diabetes mellitus associated with worse outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention in a multi-ethnic Asian dialysis patient population.
CONCLUSION: Asian dialysis patients who underwent PCI had a two-year MACE rate of 55.8% due to death and AMI. Age, LVEF and diabetes mellitus were significant predictors of mortality at two years. PMID: 32179924 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
