Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System Inhibitions and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Acute Myocardial Infarction With Renal Impairment.
To compare the clinical outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction with renal impairment (AMI-RI) treated with either angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) in real-world clinical settings. ⋯ Treatment with ACEIs seemed to be more beneficial than treatment with ARBs for patients with AMI-RI; further prospective studies are required to confirm these results.

Vascular Graft Infection After Aneurysm Repair: A Population-Based Study.
To describe the incidence, epidemiology, and outcomes of vascular graft infection (VGI) in a population-based study in southern Minnesota. ⋯ The VGI incidence in this study was overall low. There was no statistically significant difference in VGI incidence after OSR and EVAR. The all-cause mortality rate after VGI was high and reflected an older cohort with multiple comorbid conditions.
