Abstract

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the third most common cardiovascular disorder worldwide. While lower-extremity deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are typical presentations, thrombosis in atypical sites remains challenging to recognize and diagnose.   Case Description: A 27-year-old female flight attendant with history inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), tuberculosis and combined oral contraceptive (COC) use presented with an acute abdominal pain. Initial contrast-enhanced CT revealed thrombosis of the left renal and ovarian veins. Laboratory tests showed elevated hs-CRP and D-dimer, with positive ANA but negative antiphospholipid antibodies. She was treated with intravenous heparin followed by oral rivaroxaban, though adherence was inconsistent due to episodes of heavy vaginal bleeding. Repeat CT imaging eight months later demonstrated resolution of the initial thrombi but revealed a new thrombus in the inferior vena cava extending into the right common iliac vein, accompanied by recurrent elevation of D-dimer.   This case illustrates the interplay of multiple risk factors for VTE, including IBD, prolonged immobility during long-haul travel, COC use, tuberculosis, and rifampicin therapy. These overlapping chronic and transient triggers likely contributed to recurrent thrombosis despite ongoing treatment.   Conclusions: Recurrent VTE in unusual venous sites can occur particularly in patients with multiple risk factors. Early recognition, appropriate imaging, and anticoagulant therapy adherence are essential to preventing progression and recurrence.

Abstract

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Several preliminary studies suggest that certain dominance patterns may be associated with the distribution and severity of stenosis, influencing the risk of cardiac complications and interventional strategies. However, the relationship of gender specific between coronary artery dominance patterns and the severity of stenosis remains poorly understood. This study designed to evaluate the relationship between gender specific, coronary artery dominance, and severity of coronary artery stenosis, number of stenosis vessels, stenosis location, and calcium score on CCTA examination.   Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study with consecutive non-probability sampling was conducted over a one-year period with 1115 patients who underwent CCTA were analysed using the Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and T-test according to the type of data.   Result: The result showed a strong association was found between non-right dominant coronary artery (non-RDCA) in females and significant coronary stenosis (p=0.009), with the most strongly associated location being the LCX (p=0.017).   Conclusions: These findings suggest the presence of gender- and dominance-specific patterns in coronary artery disease (CAD), warranting further investigation using prospective study designs and larger sample sizes.
