84 The incidence of acute total left main coronary artery (LMCA) occlusion cannot be determined exactly because most of patients die before hospital arrival.1 This patient group is rarely encountered but mortality is very high due to being complicated by cardiogenic shock and lethal arrhythmia quickly.2 We report a case of a 40-year-old woman who was presented with acute anterolateral myocardial infarction and managed successfully with percutaneous intervention with TAP (T-stenting And small Protrusion) technique stenting. Acute Total LMCA Occlusion and Successful TAP Stenting: Which Strategy Should We Follow in STEMI?

ABS TRACT Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the factors contributing to the development of bleeding and mortality in patients admitted to emergency department with any nontraumatic bleeding (major or minor) complaint while under warfarin therapy. Material and Methods: Patients who admitted to the emergency department of a university hospital between 2009 and 2013 due to bleeding complications during warfarin treatment were included in the study which was conducted in a prospective and observational design. The demographic characteristics of the patients, the reasons for using warfarin, the types and localizations of the bleedings, the treatments applied, the duration of hospitalization and mortality data were recorded. The factors that are likely to be effective on bleeding and mortality (age, hemodynamic status on admission, initial INR levels, warfarin dose, etc.) were analyzed comparatively. SPSS version 16.0 program was used for statistical analysis and p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 518 patients were enrolled in the study. The mean age of the patients was 64.19±13.28 years, 229 (44.2%) of the patients were male. More than half of the patients were over 65 years of age, the most common indication for warfarin was heart valve disease and atrial fibrillation, and the most mortal bleeding type was gastrointestinal bleeding. There was no correlation between the first INR levels on admission and the bleeding severity and mortality (p=0.577, p=0.788). The most significant indicator of mortality was hemodynamic instability during admission. Systolic and diastolic arterial blood pressure and haemoglobin levels were significantly lower (p=0.004, p=0.023, p=0.001, respectively) in nonsurvivors, whereas pulse and shock index were significantly higher (p<0.001, p<0.001). Conclusion: Patients under warfarin treatment admit to emergency services with major or minor bleeding independently from INR levels. Especially, patients aged 65 and over are at risk. The most significant indicator of mortality appears to be hemodynamic instability during admission.

ABS TRACT Objective: The association between serum lipid parameters and coronary slow-flow (CSF) phenomenon has been searched previously. The aim of our study was to determine the association between proportional serum lipid parameters and CSF. Material and Methods: We enrolled 93 stable patients randomly who had undergone coronary angiography and had near-normal coronary arteries with normal and slow coronary flow. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data were recorded retrospectively. Coronary flow velocity was evaluated by TIMI frame count (TFC). CFS phenomenon was defined as a TFC greater than 27 frames. Corrected TFC was calculated for the left anterior descending coronary artery. Results: Fifty four patients were in CSF group and 39 patients were in control group. The mean age of the patients in CSF group was significantly higher than control group (55.4±9.5 vs. 50.5±9.8 years, p= 0.019). Triglyceride (TG) levels was found higher in CSF group than control group (187.3±103.4 mg/dl, 125.3±63.8 mg/dl, p<0.001). Total cholesterol to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TC/HDL-c), TG/HDL-c, low density lipoprotein cholesterol to HDL-c ratio (LDL-c/HDL-c) and non-HDL-c levels were significantly higher in CSF group (p=0.007, p=0.004, p=0.044, p=0.018, respectively). TG and TG/HDL-c were found correlated with TFC (r=0.280, r=0.262, respectively). In multivariate logistic regression analysis age, smoking and TG were found statistically significant to predict of CSF. TG was found most associated with the presence of CSF (OR: 7.516, p=0.001). Conclusion: Higher TG, TC/HDL-c, TG/HDL-c, LDLc/HDL-c and non-HDL-c levels were related with CSF phenomenon.
