Background— Sirolimus-eluting stents (SESs) reduce angiographic restenosis in patients with focal, native coronary artery stenoses. This study evaluated the usefulness of SESs complex native-vessel lesions at high risk for restenosis. Methods and Results— Angiographic follow-up 240 days was obtained 701 long (15- to 25-mm) small-diameter (2.5- 3.5-mm) vessels who were randomly assigned treatment or bare-metal (BMSs) SIRIUS trial. Quantitative measurements minimal lumen diameter percent...
Background: The success rate of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) chronic total occlusions (CTO) is relatively low. Further evaluation CTO lesion with CT angiography (CT‐CA) may help to better select patients that would benefit from revascularization. We aimed test the possible association between failed PCI and transluminal calcification as assessed by CT‐CA. Methods: Patients awaiting were scanned a 16‐slice CT. A cardiologist radiologist lesions on images while an interventional at...
ABSTRACT Background Acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMICS) confers short‐term mortality of 40%–50%. Protocolised network management AMICS patients as part a hub‐and‐spoke model supported upstream mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is gaining traction globally to treat AMICS. Method We conducted prospective multicenter study in Melbourne, Australia describing our 5‐year experience utilizing protocolised care for with planned use Impella CP (Abiomed, Danvers,...
SUMMARY The maximum likelihood (ML) procedure is used to estimate the correlation between a discrete and continuous variable. variable assumed be classification of an unobservable whose joint distribution with observed bivariate normal. As illustration, bodyweight at time mating, number lambs born in flock ewes estimated.
Health services worldwide face the challenge of providing care for increasingly culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) populations. The aims this study were to determine whether CALD patients hospitalized with acute heart failure (HF) are at increased risk rehospitalization emergency department (ED) visitation after discharge, compared non-CALD patients, within ascertain impact limited English proficiency (LEP) on outcomes.A cohort 1613 discharged from hospital following an episode HF...
Importance COVID-19 mRNA vaccine-associated myocarditis has previously been described; however specific features in the adolescent population are currently not well understood. Objective To describe adverse events following immunisation reported any vaccines Victoria, Australia. Design Statewide, population-based study. Setting Surveillance of Adverse Events Following Vaccination Community (SAEFVIC) is vaccine-safety service for Participants All SAEFVIC reports and myopericarditis...
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of saphenous vein grafts (SVG) and native arteries may be associated with embolization particulate debris into the distal microcirculation. The FilterWire uses a polyurethane filter bag contained on radiopaque loop to trap embolic during vessel SVG intervention. objectives this study were assess feasibility safety PCI examine size content captured Early angiographic, in-hospital, 30-day clinical outcomes reviewed in 35 patients 36 lesions treated PCI....
Nanotechnology produces a wide range of medicinal compounds, including nanoparticulate silver, which are increasingly introduced in various forms for consumer use. As with all potential drug interactions an important consideration ingested silver nanoparticles. Nanoparticulate silver–drug may be mediated through induced oxidative stress liver tissue where the majority systemically bioavailable nanoparticles is found. To investigate whether orally commercially available colloidal nanoproduct...
Abstract Aims We aimed to assess the impact of severity chronic kidney disease (CKD) with long‐term clinical outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods analyzed data on consecutive PCI enrolled Victorian Cardiac Outcomes Registry (VCOR) from January 2014 December 2018. Patients were stratified into tertiles renal function; estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) ≥60, 30–59 and < 30 ml/min/1.73 m 2 (including dialysis). The primary outcome was...
Abstract Aims To evaluate the association of limited English proficiency (LEP) with reperfusion times and outcomes in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods results This cohort study included 5385 who underwent PPCI 2013–2017 were prospectively enrolled Victorian Cardiac Outcomes Registry. Data linkage to government administrative datasets was performed identify patients’ preferred spoken language,...
Unplanned readmissions to hospital after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) pose a significant burden the healthcare system and are potentially preventable. In this study, we sought determine incidence of, risk factors for, unplanned within 30 days following PCI. We prospectively collected data on 28,488 patients undergoing PCI between 2013 2019, who were enrolled in state-wide multi-centre Victorian Cardiac Outcomes Registry. Patients' then linked from Department of Health...
Bleeding severity in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), defined by the Academic Research Consortium (BARC), portends adverse prognosis. We analysed data from 37,866 Australian PCI enrolled Victorian Cardiac Outcomes Registry (VCOR), and investigated association between increasing BARC in-hospital 30-day major cardiac cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (a composite of mortality, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, target vessel revascularisation, or stroke)....
