The recent pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 has emerged as a health emergency to develop effective therapeutic strategies for restricting deadly disease, COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 infects cells by the endocytosis process via receptor-mediated binding and priming by cellular proteases.
Commentary on ‘Late presentation of right coronary artery stent infection as left empyema and pleuro-pericardial fistula’
The case study describes a rare and maybe fatal consequence of coronary stent infection (CSI), with an emphasis on the rise in occurrence over the last decade [1]. In order to enhance patient outcomes, the authors stress the need for early recognition and proper medical and surgical management. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a serious global health concern, with an estimated 126 million people worldwide suffering from it. In addition, CAD caused millions of fatalities in 2017 [2].
