We present a case report of a previously healthy adult with cytomegalovirus infection that was complicated by extensive mesenteric arterial and venous thrombosis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of this syndrome in an immunocompetent individual who had no predisposing risk factors for thrombosis, and it demonstrates the propensity for cytomegalovirus to be involved in vascular...

Ischemic strokes secondary to occlusion of large vessels have been described in patients with COVID-19. Also, venous thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism related the disease. Vascular may be associated a prothrombotic state due COVID-19-related coagulopathy endotheliopathy. Intracranial hemorrhagic lesions can additionally seen these patients. The causative mechanism hemorrhage could antico...

This report describes two cases that developed moderate ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) without evidence of haemoconcentration. Both patients developed serious cerebrovascular thrombosis resulting in hemiparesis, and recovered after treatment with anticoagulants. This report emphasizes that other factors may contribute to vascular thrombosis, and illustrates that cerebrovascular accide...

We present a patient affected by a rapid neurological decline that was connected to subacute partial thrombosis of the straight sinus and associated with dilated superficial and deep medullary veins. An MRI scan confirmed signal alterations compatible with vascular disease and partial thrombosis of the straight sinus associated with dilated superficial and deep medullary veins of the cerebral w...

Over the past 15 years, the laboratory mouse has yielded a wealth of information on the pathogenesis of thrombosis. To a large extent, the driving force behind the use of mice to study thrombosis has been the remarkable advances in molecular approaches to selectively modifying gene expression, thereby allowing analyses of the function of specific blood and vascular wall proteins in vivo. Althou...

OBJECTIVE Reduced fibrinolytic activity is associated with adverse cardiovascular events. Although insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) was recently identified as the angiotensin (Ang) IV receptor (AT4R), the impact of AngIV-AT4R signaling distal to AngII on the activation of type-1 plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) in the fibrinolytic process and subsequent formation of thrombosis rem...

Haemodialysis access graft is so important as to be called a lifeline for the patient on maintenance haemodialysis. The vascular access problem is the leading cause of admission in patients with end-stage renal disease. Many complications of the prosthetic vascular access graft are reported, such as graft thrombosis, infection, aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm, and arterial steal syndrome [1]. We rec...

Background: Epithelioid vascular tumors are uncommon vascular neoplasm that predominately occur on the head and neck. Histological descriptions have been used to classify these tumors as either benign epitheloid hemangiomas or malignant epitheloid hemangioendotheliomas and epithelioidangiosarcoma. Although extremely rare, 17 cases of hemangioendothelioma of the penis have been reported in the l...

In this issue of Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, Westmuckett and Moore describe a prominent role of tyrosine sulfation in hematopoietic cells during atherosclerosis development.1 Atherosclerosis represents a major health problem in developed and developing countries and is the most common underlying process precipitating myocardial infarctions, limb ischemia, and stroke. In ...

Priapism is a common symptom in Haemoglobin SC and SS disease, which results from thrombosis in the vascular spaces in the cavernous tissue of penis. Thrombosis is due to altered physico-chemical properties of HbS which has glutamic acid substituted for valine in the sixth position from N-terminal in Beta Chain. When deoxygenated, HbS is less soluble and tactoids form in red cells which cause d...
