Patients with systemic sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus were found to be at increased odds of adverse clinical outcomes and bleeding, respectively, after percutaneous coronary intervention.
Impaired renal function was found to have negative long-term effects in individuals with acute coronary syndrome after percutaneous coronary intervention.
Several factors were found to be associated with the development of contrast-induced nephropathy after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome.
Patients with vs without cancer were found to be at an increased risk for cardiac mortality and bleeding after undergoing a percutaneous coronary.
A tip detection method using a newly developed intravascular ultrasound-based three-dimensional wiring was found to superior to conventional method for chronic total occlusion-percutaneous coronary intervention.
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between lipid-rich plaques detected by Near-infrared spectroscopy intravascular ultrasound imaging at unstented sites and successive coronary events from new culprit lesions.
Among patients with STEMI and multivessel disease, the benefit of complete revascularization over culprit-lesion only PCI was consistent irrespective of the investigator-determined timing of nonculprit lesion intervention.
Patients within a well-organized, high-volume, urban ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction network were found to have comparable management and 1-year outcomes when admitted in a primary percutaneous coronary intervention center during on-hours or off-hours.
Patients who underwent multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention and were treated with dual antiplatelet therapy for 1 month, followed by ticagrelor monotherapy for 23 months, were found to be at reduced risk for all-cause mortality
Potential anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reactions have been associated with insertion of PICCs using the Sherlock TLS, which features a magnetized stylet wire.
