Macular Microcirculation after Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Repair Evaluated by OCT-Angiography
In the process of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), retinal homeostasis may be adversely affected with resultant modifications in retinal and choroidal tissue. Hypoxia and nutrient deprivation along with inflammation at the detached retina may lead to morphological and microvascularity alterations. These changes imply that the functional status of the macula may not be entirely restored despite anatomical repair.
A Simple Tool to Predict Transradial Access Failure for Coronary Angiography
Based on multiple large clinical trials, the transradial access (TRA) approach has been widely accepted as the preferred method of vascular access for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention. However, it is not without its limitations and complications.
Diagnostic Value of Lung Ultrasonography in Comparison with Killip Classes after Angiography in Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Study from Iran
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with heart failure (HF), is the main cause of increased mortality. Early risk stratification by Killip classification is essential for its management. Today, non-invasive diagnostic methods such as lung ultrasound (LUS) are on the rise due to their ability to provide valuable insights without invasive methods. In this study we aimed to evaluate diagnostic value of LUS in comparison with Killip classes after angiography in AMI patients.
Echocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function Six Weeks Post-Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Prospective Study
This study aimed to determine if two-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) could predict six-week remodeling in patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Post-coronary Angiography Stroke in a High-risk Patient: A Case Report
Stroke, although uncommon, is a serious complication that can occur during cardiac catheterization. It is often caused by emboli, typically from plaques or thrombi dislodged during the procedure. Certain patients, particularly those who are older or have underlying conditions like diabetes and coronary artery disease, may face a higher risk. This case report aims to illustrate post-coronary angiography stroke and highlight the need for swift diagnosis and treatment.
