[Superficial cranial venous thromboses preceding the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report the case of a 70-year-old woman consulting for bilateral superficial frontal venous thrombosis. Superficial bilateral temporal venous thrombosis occurred under adequate anticoagulation before the onset of arterial symptoms suggestive of temporal arteritis. We then discuss the pathophysiology of venous thrombosis in patients with temporal arteritis. PMID: 19879706 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Journal des Maladies Vasculaires)

We report a particular observation of septic pylephlebitis associated with E. cloacae bacteremia, without biliary, digestive or pancreatic lesion on the CT-scan. The antibiotic sensitivity pattern of the isolated germ and the negative epidemiologic investigation pled in favour of community acquired infection. The infection resolved with antibiotics and anticoagulation, followed by total repermeation of the portal system.

We present an observation of a 42-year-old patient admitted in urgency for lower limbs weakness followed by paralysis. At physical examination the lower limbs were cold. Pulses of the lower limbs could not be palpated. Color Duplex ultrasonography revealing an embolus occluding both the infrarenal aorta and bilateral iliac arteries. The aortoiliac embolus was removed by balloon endarterectomy through the femoral arteries with evacuation of a transparent, gelatinous embolus followed by extensive fasciotomies. Two-dimensional echocardiography showed a mass in the left atrium. Pathological examination of the material embolic ...

[Two cases of iatrogenic cutis and subcutis calcinosis after calcium-containing heparin injection.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: We describe two cases of iatrogenic subcutis calcinosis after injections of calcium-containing heparins, including the second case of poor outcome. Clinicians should be aware of this adverse effect since other heparins such as fondaparinux or low-weight molecular heparins are contraindicated in patients with renal failure, leading to a large prescription of calcium-containing heparins in this population.

[Surgery of aortic coarctation with aneurysm of the ascending aorta and aortic coronary fistula.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In this study, we report the case of a 52-year-old man undergoing surgery for an isthmic coarctation who also had an aneurysm of the initial portion of the aorta and an aortic coronary fistula. The diagnosis was clinically suspected and confirmed by vascular catheterism. The first operative stage consisted of treating the coarctation. The second stage was performed two months later to remove the aneurysm and replace the ascending aorta and the aortic valve with a prosthesis. The coronary arteries were then reimplanted. The postoperative results were quite favourable. PMID: 19782486 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (...

[Evaluation of an education program for patients taking oral anticoagulants: Experience of the GRANTED network in Isère.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: The quality of a scientific study depends on the quality of the methodology, leading to a preference for prospective studies. It would nevertheless be pertinent to determine whether or not official management recommendations are applied correctly in real life conditions. We report a first evaluation of a therapeutic education program designed for patients taking oral anticoagulants. The education program within the GRANTED network has enabled a reduction in the iatrogenic morbidity related to oral anticoagulation despite the selection bias of the probably high-risk population enrolled in the GRANTED network. ...

Hypertension constitutes a recognized risk factor of vascular dementia but also of Alzheimer-type dementia. Various longitudinal studies showed that midlife blood pressure level is one of the factors conditioning the onset of dementia syndrome in late life. The high risk of dementia is linked to leukoaraiosis, vascular rigidity, microcirculation disorders, oxidative stress, blood pressure fluctuations including orthostatic hypotension and strokes, all of those being associated with hypertension. Numerous clinical trials showed the positive effect of effective treatment of hypertension on the prevention of cognitive dis...

Ease of use, feasibility and performance of ankle arm index measurement in patients with chronic leg ulcers: Study of 100 consecutive patients.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
International guidelines on leg ulcers recommend measuring the ankle arm index (AAI) to diagnose and assess peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) of the lower limbs. These guidelines do not, however, describe the method which should be used to make the measurement: which artery should be measured - in the event of an open leg ulcer, what are the practical difficulties for positioning the cuff - how well do patients tolerate the procedure? We conducted a prospective study focusing on ease of use, tolerance and performance of AAI measurements in patients with leg ulcers. In compliance with recent French guidelines...

We report the case of a female patient presenting unilateral circumscribed telangiectasia on the left arm. History taking revealed that these lesions were congenital and had become accentuated during a recent pregnancy. The unilateral localization was highly suggestive, following Blaschko's lines. We retained the diagnosis of congenital unilateral nevoid telangiectasia syndrome exaggerated by pregnancy and the consequent hyperestrogenism. While it may be rather easy to rule out medical emergencies such as purpura, identifying the etiology of telangiectasia may be quite difficult, implying a careful, precise and complete hi...

CONCLUSION: Wells' score and Wells' modified score have shown excellent performances. The value of the modified Wells' score is not superior and our preference, for practical reasons, goes to the original score. The widespread use of duplex ultrasound, the large proportion of patients in which D-dimers would not have been contributory and the excellent results of Wells score for patients with a low probability of DVT are encouraging arguments in favor of the development of an alternative strategy for these patients.

The concept of resistance to aspirin and clopidogrel, initially described in the laboratory, has currently been reinforced with recent epidemiological clinical data. One of the elements of particular importance for the cardiologist is the possible participation of this resistance in the process of coronary stent thrombosis, a problem which appeared to be solved early in the 1990s with the introduction of thienopyridines. This complication has however become preoccupying again, particularly when occurring late, notably since the widespread use of biologically active coronary endoprostheses. Nevertheless, the debate cont...

[Variable platelet response to aspirin and new therapeutic targets.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Aspirin is the first-line oral antiplatelet drug to prevent thromboembolic arterial occlusions. Aspirin irreversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) 1 involved in the platelet production of thromboxane (TX) A(2), an inducer of vasoconstriction and a platelet activating agent. Recurrent vascular events despite aspirin intake, combined with laboratory evidence of poor antiplatelet effect, suggested what has been called "aspirin resistance". For clarity's sake a real aspirin resistance would be the absence of COX1 inhibition due to intrinsic platelet factors (which has never been reported). What has been described is (expec...
