Mitigating health disparities by improving access to catheter-based therapies for vulnerable patients with acute pulmonary embolism Open
Introduction This study explores the implementation and outcomes of catheter-based thrombectomy (CBT) in acute pulmonary embolism (PE) within a safety-net hospital (SNH), addressing a critical gap in the literature concerning CBT in unders…

A case report of sodium azide-induced myopericarditis Open
Background Sodium azide exposures are rare but can be lethal as the substance inhibits complex IV in the electron transport chain, blocking adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) synthesis. Sodium azide is mostly used as a propellant in vehicular ai…

Relationship between the mixed venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide gradient and the cardiac index in acute pulmonary embolism Open
Aims Among patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) undergoing mechanical thrombectomy, the cardiac index (CI) is frequently reduced even among those without a clinically apparent shock. The purpose of this study is to describe the mixe…

Outcomes With Percutaneous Debulking of Tricuspid Valve Endocarditis Open
BACKGROUND: In patients with tricuspid valve infective endocarditis, percutaneous debulking is a treatment option. However, the outcomes of this approach are less well known. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of all patients w…

Toward Personalized DAPT: Is There an Inter-Manufacturer Difference in Generic Clopidogrel Response? Open
In a large public hospital, we observed that pharmacodynamic response to clopidogrel varied by drug manufacturer. Further investigation and/or regulation is needed to minimize inter-manufacturer variability.

Is there an inter-manufacturer difference in generic clopidogrel response? Open
Background Differences in platelet aggregation response to generic clopidogrel by manufacturer has not been investigated. Purpose Compare rates of clopidogrel response among patients receiving medication produced by two different manufactu…

Effects of Acute Colchicine Administration Prior to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Open
Background: Vascular injury and inflammation during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are associated with increased risk of post-PCI adverse outcomes. Colchicine decreases neutrophil recruitment to sites of vascular injury. The anti…
