Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Masquerading as High Altitude Cerebral Edema at Extreme Altitude
Introduction: Extreme altitude travel has gained popularity globally for adventurous, scientific, and military endeavors. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) at extreme altitude is a rare, covert, and emergent condition requiring immediate intervention. Case Presentation: A case of CVST masqueraded as high altitude cerebral edema (HACE) at 6700 m/22000 ft i...
متن کاملPhysical exertion at high altitude--another risk factor for coronary stent thrombosis?
We report 2 cases of very late stent thrombosis (VLST) in patients previously treated with drug-eluting stent (DES). In both cases, VLST occurred during intense physical activities at high altitudes. Exposure to high altitudes alters the coagulation cascade, platelet morphology, and function, resulting in a hypercoagulable state. In addition, strenuous exercise provokes a procoagulant state alo...
متن کاملVery Late Bare Metal Stent Thrombosis
Very late stent thrombosis is a rare and not-well-understood complication after bare metal stent implantation. It usually presents as an ST elevation acute coronary syndrome and it is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Pathophysiologic mechanisms are not well defined; nevertheless, recent studies have proposed a neoatherosclerotic process as the triggering mechanism. We pres...
متن کاملVery Late Stent Thrombosis 42 Months after Implantation of Sirolimus-Eluting Stent and Discontinuation of Antiplatelet Therapy
Although safety profiles of sirolimus-eluting stents do not seem to differ in short-to-medium term from those of bare-metal stents, late stent thrombosis after deployment of drug-eluting stents has emerged as a potential safety concern in the era of high-pressure stent implantation. Here, we describe the case of a patient with acute myocardial infarction due to stent thrombosis of a sirolimus-e...
متن کاملLate stent thrombosis in patients receiving ticlopidine and aspirin after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation.
BACKGROUND There is little information about the efficacy of ticlopidine plus aspirin after sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation. METHODS AND RESULTS The incidence of stent thrombosis was evaluated in 1,029 patients receiving ticlopidine and aspirin after SES deployment. Clinical follow-up was obtained in 98.9% (mean follow-up 17.0+/-7.9 months). Early stent thrombosis was observed in 5...
