“…In our case, the patient was not using oral contraceptives, so we attributed her recurrent VTE events to APS and hyperhomocysteinemia, which can coexist [5]. Some case reports have described the association between APS and hyperhomocysteinemia with thrombotic complications but in other vascular territories [10][11][12][13]. To the best of our knowledge, no such case of high-risk PE secondary to the association of primary APS and hyperhomocysteinemia has been reported in the English literature.…”

“…One prospective study showed that moderate hyperhomocysteinemia was more common in patients with APS who also had high lupus anticoagulant; therefore, it is proposed that both factors can promote thrombotic events [9]. However, the highrisk PE secondary to the association between primary APS and hyperhomocysteinemia is unusual [10][11][12][13], and has not been previously reported in the English literature. This report presents the case of a 25-year-old woman admitted as an emergency with a high-risk large and occlusive PE, later diagnosed with primary APS and hyperhomocysteinemia.…”

“…Similarly, in 1 patient with coronary vasospasm, treatment with intracoronary nitrate administration did resolve both symptoms of chest pain and angiographic occlusion [7]. Finally, although PCI remains a mainstay of diagnosis and therapy in cases of plaque rupture and coronary occlusion [8], in the case of acute thrombosis in some patients with SLE, anticoagulation and antiplatelet agents may be just as important if not more important [9,10]. …”

“…Η πρόγνωση των ασθενών που χειρουργήθηκαν τα τελευταία χρόνια φαίνεται να είναι καλύτερη, αλλά δεν έχει ξεκαθαριστεί αν η χρήση των βιολογικών βαλβίδων συνοδεύεται από λιγότερες μετεγχειρητικές επιπλοκές.2.2 Στεφανιαία νόσος2.2.1 ΕπιδημιολογίαΗ εκδήλωση οξέος εμφράγματος του μυοκαρδίου (ΟΕΜ) στο ΑΦΣ ήταν γνωστή από την περιγραφή του συνδρόμου. Αφορά κυρίως σε νέους ασθενείς και σε ασυνήθεις περιπτώσεις αποτελεί την πρώτη εκδήλωση του συνδρόμου[180][181][182][183][184][185][186][187][188][189][190]. Σε μια παλαιότερη μελέτη, είχε καταγραφεί σχετικά χαμηλός επιπολασμός ΟΕΜ σε ασθενείς με ΑΦΣ (μεταξύ 4% και 7%), συνήθως σε συσχέτιση με τον ΣΕΛ[191].…”
