Yellow Fever and Cardiovascular Disease: An Intersection of Epidemics

Gláucia Maria Moraes de Oliveira et al. Roberto Muniz Ferreira

Arboviral diseases are an important public health problem, especially in tropical and subtropical countries, such as Brazil, where viruses of the family Flaviviridae, responsible for dengue fever, zika and yellow fever (YF), and of the family Togaviridae, which cause chikungunya, predominate. In recent years, the number of cases has increased because of several factors, of which environmental changes, such as deforestation and climate changes, disorderly occupation of cities with low hygiene-sanitary conditions, in addition to the increased mobility of international travelers, stand out. Such factors have allowed the colonization of new areas by vectors, mainly Aedes aegypti, which can be found in 80% of the Brazilian territory.^,

Dengue virus, which has four different serotypes, has accounted for isolated epidemics or for co-infections in 1984-1985, 1997-1999 and 2004-2007. Chikungunya, whose virus originated in Africa, succeeded the dengue fever in Brazil in 2014, with similar clinical and laboratory presentation, hindering the differential diagnosis. In 2015, the first cases of zika were reported in Brazil. summarizes the clinical manifestations of those arboviral diseases.^–

Drug-Coated Balloon Treatment of Very Late Stent Thrombosis Due to Complicated Neoatherosclerosis

Fernando Alfonso et al. Teresa Bastante Javier Cuesta Amparo Benedicto Fernando Rivero

Abstract

We describe the treatment of a patient presenting with very-late stent thrombosis with the use of a drug-coated balloon. In this patient, optical coherence tomography disclosed that ruptured and complicated neoatherosclerosis was the underlying substrate responsible for the episode of very-late stent thrombosis. The potential use of drug-coated balloons in this unique scenario is discussed.
