To comprehensively assess published peer-reviewed studies related to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), focusing on outcomes and complications of ECMO in adult patients.Systematic review meta-analysis.MEDLINE/PubMed was searched for articles mortality occurring during or after ECMO.Included had more than 100 patients receiving reported detail fatal nonfatal ECMO. Primary outcome at the longest follow-up available; secondary were non-fatal complications.Twelve included (1763...
The use of radial-artery grafts for coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) may result in better postoperative outcomes than the saphenous-vein grafts. However, randomized, controlled trials comparing and have been individually underpowered to detect differences clinical outcomes. We performed a patient-level combined analysis compare CABG.
Angiographic guidance for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has substantial limitations. The superior spatial resolution of optical coherence tomography (OCT) could translate into meaningful clinical benefits. We aimed to compare angiographic alone versus plus OCT PCI.Patients undergoing PCI with (OCT group) were compared matched patients only (Angio within 30 days. primary endpoint was the one-year rate cardiac death or myocardial infarction (MI). A total 670 included, 335 in group...
Peripheral percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is fraught with a substantial risk of restenosis and reintervention. A drug-eluting balloon (DEB) based on novel coating was compared uncoated balloons in patients undergoing femoro-popliteal angioplasty.Patients symptomatic atherosclerotic disease were randomized to paclitaxel-coated IN.PACT Pacific or balloons. The primary end point late lumen loss at 6 months assessed by blinded angiographic corelab quantitative analyses. Secondary points...
Background— Experimental interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene overexpression has shown that is cardioprotective during global cardiac ischemia. The aim of the present study was to test impact an exogenous recombinant human (anakinra) in experimental acute myocardial infarction. Methods and Results— Two animal studies were conducted: one immediate anakinra administration ischemia mouse delayed 24 hours after rat. Seventy-eight Institute Cancer Research mice 20 Wistar rats underwent surgical...
Abstract Aims The CLIMA study, on the relationship between coronary plaque morphology of left anterior descending artery and twelve months clinical outcome, was designed to explore predictive value multiple high-risk features in same lesion [minimum lumen area (MLA), fibrous cap thickness (FCT), lipid arc circumferential extension, presence optical coherence tomography (OCT)-defined macrophages] as detected by OCT. Composite cardiac death target segment myocardial infarction primary...
