Despite its clinical significance, population-level data remain limited. Using the RIETE (Registro Informatizado Enfermedad Trombo-Embólica) registry (2009-2024), we analyzed proximal DVT patients who underwent advanced imaging (CT-venography, contrast-venography, or MRI). Among 2872 patients with advanced imaging-confirmed proximal DVT, 124 (4.3%) had MTS. MTS patients were more likely to be female (78% vs 52%), younger (mean age 42 vs 62 years), and to present with left-sided DVT (92% vs 46%). They had fewer comorbidities, but greater exposure to estrogen or pregnancy. Endovascular therapy was more frequently used in MTS patients (44% vs 3.5%), who also received longer median anticoagulation (365 vs 164 days). Despite this, MTS patients had a significantly higher rate of recurrent DVT (rate ratio: 2.37; 95% CI 1.09-4.70). Multivariable analysis confirmed MTS as an independent predictor of recurrent DVT (adjusted hazard ratio: 2.26; 95% CI: 1.02-5.01). Major bleeding was non-significantly less frequent (rate ratio: 0.42; 95% CI: 0.13-1.04), though retroperitoneal bleeding was more common. MTS is underdiagnosed, has distinct clinical features and is associated with increased DVT recurrence despite aggressive therapy.

Peripheral blood was obtained from ACS patients and matched controls, and NLRC5 expression and DNA methylation were analyzed. In vitro, peripheral blood mononuclear cells from donors were induced into macrophage-derived foam cells and transfected with small interfering RNA negative control (si-NC) or si-NLRC5 plasmids to assess foam cell formation and cytokine release. In vivo, ApoE<sup>-/-</sup> mice fed a high-fat diet and subjected to NLRC5 silencing were used as an ACS model. Peritoneal macrophage phagocytosis, aortic lipid accumulation, plaque size, and collagen fiber content were evaluated, while lipid metabolism- and inflammation-related genes were measured in foam cells and aortas. NLRC5 was highly expressed and hypomethylated in ACS patients. NLRC5 knockdown suppressed foam cell formation and inflammation in vitro. In ACS mice, silencing NLRC5 reduced lipid levels and cytokines, inhibited lipid deposition, decreased plaque size, and enhanced collagen fiber content through NF-κB pathway inhibition. These findings suggest that NLRC5 silencing may protect against atherosclerosis in ACS by regulating macrophage function and inflammatory signaling.</p>","PeriodicalId":8264,"journal":{"name":"Angiology","volume":" ","pages":"1180-1190"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145676332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
