Background: Diabetic patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are at an increased risk of cardiovascular events as compared to non-diabetic patients. This analysis investigated outcomes of diabetic patients presenting with multivessel disease (MVD) and STEMI in a contemporary trial and the relevance of an immediate versus staged multivessel PCI strategy in this high-risk population.
Methods: Patients enrolled in the MULTISTARS AMI trial were stratified according to the presence/absence of diabetes.

Background: Percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy (PTNB) guided by Computed Tomography (CT) greatly depends on the operators' skill for accuracy. This study aimed to evaluate whether three-dimensionally(3D) printed navigational templates for percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy achieve diagnostic yield comparable to conventional computed tomography guidance.
Materials And Methods: Conducted from 1 November 2020, to 27 July 2023, this noninferiority randomized clinical trial included 159 patients with peripheral lung masses (≥30 mm).

Introduction: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening condition with well-defined management strategies; however, the presence of a clot-in-transit (CIT)-a mobile thrombus within the right heart-introduces a uniquely high-risk scenario associated with a significantly elevated mortality rate. While several therapeutic approaches are available-including anticoagulation, systemic thrombolysis, surgical embolectomy, and catheter-directed therapies-there is no established consensus on a superior treatment modality. Catheter-based mechanical thrombectomy has emerged as a promising, minimally invasive alternative that mitigates the bleeding risks of systemic thrombolysis and the invasiveness of surgery.

Background: The incidence of unstable angina (UA), a type of cardiovascular disease (CVD), has increased in recent years. Meanwhile, timely percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) procedures are crucial for patients with UA who also have diabetes mellitus (DM). Additionally, exploring other factors that may influence the prognosis of these patients could provide long-term benefits.

Background: In-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) remains a significant concern. Developing a predictive model of in-hospital mortality is crucial for identifying high-risk patients, guiding clinical decisions, and preventing in-hospital mortality. Machine learning (ML) may analyze patterns in large datasets and provide accurate predictions of in-hospital mortality in AMI patients following pPCI.
