The role of quantitative flow ratio (QFR) in the treatment nonculprit vessels patients with myocardial infarction (MI) is a topic ongoing discussion.
Background Fractional flow reserve (FFR) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) may help both in assessment percutaneous coronary intervention optimization of angiographically intermediate lesions. We designed a prospective trial comparing the clinical economic outcomes associated with FFR or OCT Methods Results Three hundred fifty patients lesions (n=446) were randomized to guidance. In arm, was performed if ≤0.80 aiming for postprocedure >0.90. percentage area stenosis ≥75% 50% 75% minimal...
Surgical mitral valve repair (SMVR) is performed with various techniques that involve the implantation of non-biological material, such as prolene suture threads, polytetrafluoroethylene neo-chordae or prosthetic ring for remodeling annulus, whose exposure to bloodstream capable triggering blood coagulation cascade and consequently development thrombotic/thromboembolic events. The indications literature on use antithrombotic drugs after SMVR are weak not univocal given absence randomized...
(1) Background: Acute myocardial infarction in pregnancy (pAMI) is a rare event, often caused by non-classical factors rather than atherosclerosis. The management of such complicationrequires multidisciplinary team and it important to bring together the specialities involved ensure that these teams are coordinated ready respond. pAMI poses unique challenges as requires considering both maternal fetal well-being. (2) Methods: We present case 36-week pregnant woman who presented with...
Ticagrelor is a widely used P2Y12 inhibitor and represents fundamental therapeutic agent in acute coronary syndrome treatment selected post-percutaneous intervention (PCI) cases. Dyspnoea bradycardia are the most common side effects but latter has been reported to be of trivial clinical significance.A 51-year-old gentleman underwent PCI left anterior descending obtuse marginal for unstable angina receiving loading dose ticagrelor (180 mg). During hospital stay, whilst on telemetry...
(1) Background: Acute myocardial infarction in pregnancy (pAMI) is a rare event, often caused by non-classical factors rather than atherosclerosis. The management of pAMI poses unique chal-lenges as it requires considering both maternal and fetal well-being.; (2) Methods: We present the case 36-week pregnant woman who presented with antero-lateral ST elevation (STEMI) complicated cardiogenic shock. To ensure comprehensive decision-making, an emergency Pregnancy Heart Team meeting was...
Abstract The use of the subintimal space has allowed a massive advancement in field chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). STAR technique is first techniques. Despite high acute success rate, follow‐up results showed unfavorable outcomes with half treated patients showing restenosis/reocclusion at 6 months. We present three cases which modification guided by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), namely 2.0, was used as bailout for successful PCI occlusions.
Abstract Background Contrast–induced acute kidney injury (CI–AKI) is a percutaneous coronary intervention’s (PCI) feared complication, linked to increased morbidity and mortality. Many risk factors have been identified. Amongst procedural variables contrast media (CM) volume one of the most predictive. An easy–to–use effective CM sparing device would represent valuable tool in cath–lab armamentarium. Aim To evaluate effectiveness DyeVert Power XT system reducing delivery during PCI pts at...
