The unexpectedly higher mortality rates in the CE group may be related to comorbidities (ie, cardiomyopathy or valvular heartdisease).[circ.ahajournals.org]

The treatment consists of aggressive anticoagulation, antiplatelet therapy, and interventional options, including simple wiring when possible.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A unique method of treatment with Fogarty catheter retrieval was used.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The treatment of acute coronary syndrome in the presence of septic embolism is controversial.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The treatment for this specific group of patients needs to be tailored individually.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Its prevalence, clinical features, and prognosis remain insufficiently characterized. METHODS AND RESULTS: We screened 1776 consecutive patients who presented with de novo acute myocardial infarction between 2001 and 2013.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Percutaneous embolectomy has also been attempted in the past. [11] Continuous daily antiplatelet therapy before hospitalization for IE has shown to decrease embolic events. [12] Good prognosis can be achieved with surgery in patients with native valve[najms.org]

Long-Term Prognosis of CE The 5-year rate of thromboembolism including CE recurrence was 8.7% and the 5-year rate of MACCE was 27.1% in the present study population ( Figure 4 ).[circ.ahajournals.org]
(Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Arterial Embolism depends on the location of the clot and the severity of the block.[dovemed.com]
The presumed etiology of thromboembolism was idiopathic cardiomyopathy. A unique method of treatment with Fogarty catheter retrieval was used.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Case Presentation: A 68-year-old man with a history of atrial flutter and recurrent gastrointestinal (GI) bleeds (GIBs) with no clear etiology identified presented for planned direct current synchronized cardioversion.[shmabstracts.com]
In summary, coronary embolism secondary to prosthetic valve is an uncommon etiology of myocardial infarction.[jpma.org.pk]
Although the primary cause of acute coronary syndrome is atherosclerotic disease, it is imperative to consider septic embolism as an etiological factor.[najms.org]
This is a controversial topic, as no clear etiology has been seen.[healio.com]

The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological, clinical, microbiological, and echocardiographic characteristics of patients with ACS caused by endocarditis, as well as the course of ACS, and to propose a treatment plan for these patients.[revespcardiol.org]
Angiographic appearance (localized filling defect on coronary angiography) combined with her past history of undertreated AF was highly suggestive of coronary artery embolus related to AF as the underline pathophysiology of STEMI.[hippokratia.gr]
States of increased oxygen demand or decreased supply, as described in Pathophysiology , may cause angina.[healio.com]
The clot can then move to an artery and cause arterial embolisation. [2] Pathophysiology [ edit ] An arterial embolism is caused by one or more emboli getting stuck in an artery and blocking blood flow, causing ischemia, possibly resulting in infarction[en.wikipedia.org]
The pathophysiological mechanisms causing UMIs are not completely understood, but there is a statistically significant association between UMI and the extent and severity of CAD [ 6, 14 ].[journals.plos.org]
Coverage begins with a review of risk factors and prevention, emphasizing lipid abnormalities, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, and obesity.[books.google.com]
In this context, primary prevention in the form of patient education on optimal anticoagulation with oral vitamin K antagonist and medical advice about imminent thromboembolic risks are of extreme importance.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention Embolism can be prevented in high risk patients through antithrombotic drugs such as heparin, venous interruption, gradient elastic stockings, and intermittent pneumatic compression of the legs.[medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
