Incidence, Predictors, and Clinical Impact of Early Prasugrel Cessation in Patients With ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction.
(2018-04-13)
BACKGROUND: Early withdrawal of recommended antiplatelet treatment with clopidogrel adversely affects prognosis following percutaneous coronary interventions. Optimal antiplatelet treatment is essential following ST-segment ...
Self-expandable sirolimus-eluting stents compared to second-generation drug-eluting stents for the treatment of the left main: A propensity score analysis from the SPARTA and the FAILS-2 registries.
(2019-02-01)
OBJECTIVES: To compare the effectiveness and safety of self-expandable, sirolimus-eluting Stentys stents (SES) and second-generation drug-eluting stents (DES-II) for the treatment of the unprotected left main (ULM). ...
Arterial Remodeling After Bioresorbable Scaffolds and Metallic Stents.
(2017-07-04)
BACKGROUND: Although previous observational studies have documented late luminal enlargement and expansive remodeling following implantation of a bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS), no comparison with metallic stents ...
Rehospitalizations Following Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients With ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Results From a Multi-Center Randomized Trial.
(2017-08-05)
BACKGROUND: Rehospitalizations (RHs) after ST-elevation myocardial infarction carry a high economic burden and may deteriorate quality of life. Characterizing patients at higher risk may allow the design of preventive ...
Clinical performance of a dedicated self-apposing stent for the treatment of left main stem disease. Results of the left Main AngioplasTy wIth a Self-apposing StEnt - the MATISSE study.
(2018-10)
BACKGROUND: In the recent years percutaneous treatment of the left main stem (LM) has gained a precise role as a result of consistent scientific evidence vs. coronary artery bypass. A self-apposing stent offers an improved ...
Coronary microvascular dysfunction in patients with stable coronary artery disease: The CE-MARC 2 coronary physiology sub-study.
(2018-09-01)
BACKGROUND: In patients with angina undergoing invasive management, no obstructive coronary artery disease (NOCAD) is a common finding, and angina may persist following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Coronary ...
Sex disparities in acute myocardial infarction care and outcomes.
(2018-11-01)
AIM: We investigated sex-based and regional outcomes after contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the Xience V stent in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS AND RESULTS: This patient ...
Confronting system barriers for ST- elevation MI in low and middle income countries with a focus on India.
(2018-01)
Our previous research found seven specific factors that cause system delays in ST-elevation Myocardial infarction management in developing countries. These delays, in conjunction with a lack of organized STEMI systems of ...
Evaluating the importance of sham-controlled trials in the investigation of medical devices in interventional cardiology.
(2018-08-20)
Cardiovascular medicine is one of the specialties that has relied most heavily on evidence from randomised clinical trials in determining best practice for the management of common disease conditions. When comparing treatment ...
