Preventable Risk Factors Widespread in Patients Undergoing Angioplasty
Smoking and obesity associated with significantly earlier age of presentation.
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)
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.
Tip Detection Method With New IVUS-Based 3D Wiring Facilitates CTO Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
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.
Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Intravascular Imaging to Predict Coronary Events
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.
Complete Revascularization Beneficial in STEMI and Multivessel Disease
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.
Comparable Outcomes for Patients Admitted to PCI Center During On- vs Off-Hours
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.
Ticagrelor Monotherapy May Lower Risk for Mortality in Multivessel Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
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
