Temporal patterns, characteristics, and predictors of clinical outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention for stent thrombosis
CONCLUSIONS: PCI for ST has declined in frequency over a 7-year period, with most procedures performed for early ST. Among the different times of ST onset, only early ST is associated with worse clinical outcomes after PCI. Routine use of intravascular imaging and newer P2Y12 inhibitors could further improve outcomes in this high-risk procedural group.PMID:35599596 | DOI:10.4244/EIJ-D-22-00049

Type A aortic dissection in patients over the age of seventy in the UK
ConclusionsATAD is a life ‐threatening condition with a high mortality rate if left untreated. Our results show that surgery for ATAD in patients over 70 is feasible with acceptable mortality rates. However, similar to previous studies, rates of stroke in older patients may be higher. The present study supports the notion that age should not be a discriminating factor in operating on patients with TAAD.
