An Unreported Cause of Buccal Mucosal Hematoma A Rare Complication After Heparin Therapy in a Patient with Chronic Renal Failure

Patients receiving anti-coagulants such as heparin can suffer from significant complications of these medications. Herein, we report a buccal mucosal hematoma in a heparinized patient with chronic renal failure

The frequency of type 2 second-degree and third-degree atrioventricular block induced by blunt chest trauma in the emergency department: A multicenter study

BACKGROUND: Conduction disturbances including type 2 second-degree atrioventricular block (Mobitz II) and third-degree atrioventricular block following blunt chest trauma are probably rare. Moreover, the pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for this rare dysrhythmia following trauma are not well understood yet. In this study, it was aimed to identify the frequency of this dysrhythmia associated with trauma

Management of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia during Thrombolytic Therapy for Prosthetic Valve Thrombosis

Background and aim of the study: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a serious complication of heparin administration. As HIT may occur during the thrombolysis of prosthetic heart valve thrombosis (PVHT) due to the administration of heparin, this entity should be considered during and after sessions of this regimen. The study aim was to investigate the development, diagnosis, and management of HIT during thrombolytic therapy (TT) of PHVT

SAFETY OF LOW-DOSE PROLONGED INFUSION OF TISSUE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH THROMBOEMBOLIC EVENTS IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT

Objective Thromboembolic events such as acute coronary syndrome related prosthetic heart valve thrombosis, pulmonary artery embolism and renal artery embolism are a rare condition but a major cause of morbidity and mortality. In this study we discussed low-dose thrombolytic therapy, in patients with thromboembolic events in the intensive care unit
