Hypoglycemia-associated In-stent Thrombosis: Are We Doing Too Much?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common modifiable risk factors for coronary artery disease, and its prevalence is rising globally. Persistent hyperglycemia has a well-established cardiovascular risk, and its treatment plays an important role in the prevention of future cardiovascular events. While we improved microvascular complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy by stringent blood glucose control, the cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in diabetics remain high. Hypoglycemia, on the other hand, is an important side effect of pharmaceutical blood glucose control, especially those who are treated with insulin. Here, we report the case of a 38-year-old man with type 1 diabetes presenting twice with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction, both in the setting of documented hypoglycemia. There are reported cases of acute cardiovascular events or silent myocardial ischemia associated with hypoglycemia, and we wish to raise awareness for clinicians who treat this special population of patients.

Stent thrombosis as a complication of percutaneous coronary intervention frequently is associated with deadly events such as myocardial infarction and sudden death. Definitions of stent thrombosis have not been in a uniform manner in different clinical studies. Two episodes of acute ST elevation myocardial infarction nearly two years after implanting a drug – eluting stent in a 58-year-...

Left ventricular assist devices improve survival in patients with advanced heart failure but can be associated with significant complication including infection, pump thrombosis, and de novo severe aortic insufficiency. Outflow graft stenosis is a much more rare complication, but one with significant hemodynamic consequences. Surgical repair is often necessary, but many patients are too high ri...
متن کاملStent thrombosis: who's guilty?
Stent thrombosis is a devastating complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) which remains unsolved as it is poorly predicted and prevented. Its frequency appears to be low (0.8–2%) but most evaluations come from registries that are likely to underestimate the real prevalence. The mortality associated with stent thrombosis is high, within a range of 25–40%, comparable with that of...

Background: Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) for bifurcated lesions is associated with a low rate of success and high rate of complications compared to such treatment of lesions of most other morphologies. Symptoms occurring at the time of procedure caused by PCI may require additional angiography with or without stenting through stent struts, which subsequently increases risks of reste...

OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the circadian, weekly, and seasonal variation of coronary stent thrombosis. BACKGROUND Other adverse cardiovascular events such as acute myocardial infarction are known to have higher incidences during the early morning hours, Mondays, and winter months. METHODS The Mayo Clinic Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Registry was searched for patients admitted t...
