Mitral Valve Replacement in Infants and Children: Five Year Outcomes of the HALO Clinical Trial
CONCLUSIONS: In small children with severe mitral valve disease requiring MVR, the 15mm SJM MHV provides satisfactory hemodynamics. Mortality and complications in these patients are not trivial. Low molecular weight heparin likely should be avoided as primary anticoagulation. Eventual valve replacement is inevitable.PMID:38750684 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2024.04.025 (Source: The Annals of Thoracic Surgery)

Aspirin and prevention of the recurrence of venous thromboembolism
Ann Cardiol Angeiol (Paris). 2024 May 15;73(3):101761. doi: 10.1016/j.ancard.2024.101761. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAfter a first episode of unprovoked vein thrombosis, the risk of recurrence persists for many years. Long term of anticoagulant therapy prevents the recurrence of vein thrombosis but is associated with a major risk of bleeding. As platelets play a role in the initiation and propagation of venous thromboembolism as well, antiplatelet agents, may play a role in the treatment and prevention of this disease. This review summarizes available evidence on effect of aspirin in the prevention of recurrent deep vei...

A clinical comparative study of dual LVIS devices and single flow diversion stenting for the treatment of unruptured V3-V4 vertebral artery dissection
CONCLUSION: Both methods could effectively treat unruptured VAD in V3-V4 segments. Nevertheless, simple FD implantation is relatively easier to perform and involves lower radiation exposure.PMID:38751187 | DOI:10.1177/15910199241254864 (Source: Interventional Neuroradiology)

Experimental comparison of first-pass effect between direct thromboaspiration and combined thrombectomy in the setting of distal basilar occlusion
CONCLUSIONS: In the context of distal basilar occlusion, our in-vitro results showed that higher first-pass effect rates were achieved with direct thromboaspiration compared to combined thrombectomy in all types of thrombus analogs.PMID:38751100 | DOI:10.1177/15910199241254412 (Source: Interventional Neuroradiology)

Comparative genomics of two Asian medicinal leeches Hirudo nipponia and Hirudo tianjinensis: With emphasis on antithrombotic genes and their corresponding proteins
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 May 15;270(Pt 1):132278. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132278. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLeeches secrete various biologically active substances which have important medical and pharmaceutical values in antithrombotic treatments. Here, we provide a high quality genome of two Asian medicinal leeches Hirudo nipponia and Hirudo tianjinensis, based on which, we identified 22 antithrombotic gene families, including fourteen coagulation inhibitors, four platelet aggregation inhibitors, three fibrinolysis enhancers, and one tissue penetration enhancer. The total numbers of antithrombotic genes were sim...

Venous thromboembolism among Asian populations with localized colorectal cancer undergoing curative resection: is pharmacological thromboprophylaxis required? A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: The benefit of PTP in reducing VTE incidence among Asian patients undergoing curative resection for localized colorectal cancer has not been clearly established. The decision to administer PTP should be evaluated on a case-bycase basis and with consideration of associated bleeding risks.PMID:38752323 | DOI:10.3393/ac.2022.01046.0149 (Source: Annals of Coloproctology)
