CCE led to multiorgan failure and death after intravenous alteplase to treat acute ischemic stroke. This case highlights the urgent need for greater awareness of this serious complication.
A case underscoring the importance of considering Kawasaki disease in infants presenting with prolonged, antibiotic-resistant fever, even though the condition is uncommon in children younger than 6 months.
Lp(a)-lowering drugs are not yet available for routine clinical use, but several promising candidates are currently being explored. What role might these therapies play in future clinical practice?
Multiple agents are being developed that inhibit apolipoprotein C-III. Do they have the potential to significantly reduce risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease?

An expert-led symposium exploring the most pertinent issues in cardio-oncology, with a focus on the new ESC guidelines. Highlights include preventative approaches in cardio-oncology, toxicity risk-stratification strategies, the clinical management of myocarditis as an adverse effect of immune checkpoint inhibitor-treatments, and the utility of biomarkers in long-term follow-up of cardiovascular disease risk in cancer patients.
This study discusses disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) associated with solid cancers and various vascular abnormalities, both of which generally exhibit chronic DIC patterns. Solid cancers are among the most significant underlying …
Diabetic foot infection (DFI) is a significant complication of diabetes mellitus, leading to increased morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, and higher healthcare costs [ 1 ]. This condition arises from a combination of peripheral neuropathy, poor …
Atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease (PAD), that is, arteriosclerosis obliterans, is pathologically rooted in atherosclerosis, similar to other cardiovascular diseases. In addition to smoking, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus …
Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated disorder characterized by elevated serum IgG4 levels and the enlargement and fibrosis of organs. As a rare manifestation, coronary arteries can be affected by IgG4-RD as coronary …
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is increasingly used as the initial diagnostic test in patients with stable symptoms suspected of coronary artery disease (CAD) [ 1 – 3 ]. The strength of CCTA is the ability to accurately rule out …
Endovascular treatment (EVT) for patients with lower extremity artery disease is widely used as a less invasive alternative to surgical bypass. Recently, transradial artery intervention has gained popularity owing to its minimally invasive nature.
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is characterized by an abrupt arterial bleed into the subarachnoid space and a concurrent abrupt rise in intracranial pressure (ICP) [ 1 , 2 ]. Secondary rises in ICP may result from hydrocephalus and brain …
Intracranial atherosclerosis stenosis (ICAS) is one of the primary etiologies of ischemic stroke worldwide and is the leading cause in the East Asian population [ 1 – 4 ]. ICAS mainly occurs in the middle cerebral artery (MCA). Despite optimal …
