QFR-Guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Improves Outcomes
One-year clinical outcomes improved with quantitative flow ratio for lesion selection versus standard angiography guidance.
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)
Transradial vs Transfemoral PCI Approaches Compared in Chronic Kidney Disease
Researchers evaluated the safety and efficacy of transradial vs transfemoral access in patients with CKD undergoing PCI.
Triglyceride-Glucose Index Lacks Predictive Value for Adverse CV Prognosis in Nondiabetic PCI
The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) is an ineffective predictive factor for cardiovascular prognosis in patients without diabetes who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention.
Personalized Antiplatelet Therapy Reduces Ischemic Events in Stable CAD
Personalized antiplatelet therapy using platelet function testing can decrease ischemic events in stable CAD.
MACE May Not Be Reduced With Beta Blocker Therapy in Stable CAD
A meta-analysis did not demonstrate a benefit of beta-blockers in reducing major adverse cardiovascular events in a population of patients with stable coronary artery disease without previous history of myocardial infarction or left ventricular dysfunction.
Preventable Risk Factors Widespread in Patients Undergoing Angioplasty
Smoking and obesity associated with significantly earlier age of presentation.
Adverse Outcomes After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention More Prevalent in Systemic Sclerosis
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 Found to Affect Long-Term Prognosis After PCI
Impaired renal function was found to have negative long-term effects in individuals with acute coronary syndrome after percutaneous coronary intervention.
Identification of Factors Associated With Contrast-Induced Nephropathy After PCI
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.
Increased Risk for Cardiac Death, Bleeding After PCI in Patients With Cancer
Patients with vs without cancer were found to be at an increased risk for cardiac mortality and bleeding after undergoing a percutaneous coronary.
