John A Ambrose y cols.

Nearly 50 years ago, pathologists convened at a National Institutes of Health workshop along with cardiologists, researchers and hematologists and agreed in consensus that coronary thrombosis was the primary cause of transmural myocardial infarction (MI) and most cases of sudden cardiac death. Pathologically, it had been shown that a tear in a lipid-rich atherosclerotic plaque was the main ca...

Over the past few years, the revascularization strategy of patients with multivessel coronary artery disease has been the center of attention of multiple controlled clinical trials (CCT) to define the best therapeutic alternative between percutaneous coronary procedures and myocardial revascularization surgery (MRS). Several CCTs compared PTA with drug-eluting stents (DES) vs MRS in several s...

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a condition characterized by isolated thrombocytopenia of autoimmune origin. Its clinical signs can be asymptomatic, mild mucocutaneous hemorrhage or severe bleeding. Corticosteroids are the first-line therapy to treat ITP. As a second-line therapy other drugs like rituximab or thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs) have been proposed. Sp...

A 75-year-old patient, hypertensive, dyslipidemic, a hierarchical smoker (15 cigarettes per day / 55 years), atrial fibrillation (AF) without treatment (Enalapril, Rosuvastatin), went to the ward for presenting intense pain in the lower right limb for 24 hours of evolution at rest. Physical examination revealed paleness, coldness, absence of popliteal and tibial pulses of the right lower...

Demis Federico Picone y cols.

Atrial septostomy (AS) was first described by Rashkind back in 1966 as a novel technique for palliative care of congenital disorders like large vessel transposition. The objective was to create a solution of continuity in the interatrial septum. However, it would not be until 1983 when Rich and Lam performed this procedure for the first time to treat a patient with refractory pulmonary hypert...

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a leading cause of myocardial infarction in young women and is still underdiagnosed. Its management can be different from the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) due to ruptured or eroded atherosclerotic plaque in epicardial arteries. This is the case of a young woman with anterior myocardial infarction treated with bypass angioplasty revascular...
