Common Antibiotics Spell Trouble in Existing Aortopathy

email article For the first time, fluoroquinolone exposure was tied to aortic complications in patients with established aortic disease in a large study. In the cohort study from Taiwan, people with an existing aortic dissection (AD) or aortic aneurysm (AA) were at higher risk of adverse outcomes during the periods they were exposed to fluoroquinolones: All-cause death: adjusted HR 1.61 (95% CI 1.50-1.73) Aortic death: adjusted HR 1.80 (95% CI 1.50-2.15) Aortic open surgery: adjusted HR 1.49 (95% CI 1.24-1.79) Aortic stent placement: adjusted HR 1.64 (95% CI 1.30-2.06) By contrast, amoxicillin (Amoxil) exposure was not associated with any of these outcomes over follow-up averaging 3.5 years, according to Shao-Wei Chen, MD, PhD, of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou Medical Center, Chang Gung University, Taoyuan City, Taiwan, and colleagues.

Clinical assessment of the leg for a suspected deep vein thrombosis

Tocilizumab Improves Myocardial Salvage After STEMI: ASSAIL-MI

April 12, 2021 Patients with STEMI undergoing PCI who received an intravenous dose of tocilizumab, an inhibitor of the inflammatory cytokine interkleukin-6 (IL-6), prior to their procedure appeared to have less myocardium irreversibly damaged when compared with patients who received matching placebo, according to a small, proof-of-concept study. While there was no significant difference in the final infarct size at 6 months, the adjusted myocardial salvage index, which accounts for the extent to which ischemic myocardium recovers after reperfusion and was the trial’s primary endpoint was significantly higher among patients treated with tocilizumab. As for the clinical significance of the improvement with the IL-6 inhibitor, lead investigator Kaspar Broch, MD, PhD (Oslo University Hospital Rikshospitalet, Norway), told TCTMD that’s yet to be shown.
