Background— Invasive physiological assessment of myocardial bridges (MBs) is largely unsettled. Unlike fractional flow reserve (FFR), instantaneous wave–free ratio (iFR) a diastole-specific index. As such, its value might not be hampered by systolic pressure overshooting and negative gradient caused the compression tunneled coronary artery. Methods Results— We prospectively enrolled 20 patients with angina and/or positive noninvasive stress test, absence significant artery stenosis,...
Abstract Background Patients with small vessel disease (SVD) are at higher risk of adverse events after PCI compared to non‐SVD patients. In this subset, the use bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) has raised particular concern. Objective We aimed compare outcomes Absorb BVS versus a 2nd‐generation metallic everolimus‐eluting stents (EES) in SVD setting, by pooling patients from three large, prospective studies. Methods (reference diameter ≤2.75 mm QCA) and treated were identified Italian...
Iatrogenic membranous ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are rare complications of cardiothoracic surgery, such as myectomy for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Transcatheter closure is considered an appealing alternative to given the increased mortality associated with repeated surgical procedures, but reports extremely limited.We herein report case a 63-year-old woman HOCM who underwent successful percutaneous iatrogenic VSD after myectomy. Two techniques discussed, namely...
In ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PPCI) the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) correlates to extent damage and left ventricular (LV) function recovery. Data on IMR time-course impact clinical outcome in STEMI with multi-vessel disease (MVD) are scarce.We designed a prospective, multicenter trial assess infarct-related artery (IRA)-IMR MVD PPCI explore its potential relationship LV remodeling.The study enrolled...
The optimal treatment of aneurysmal or ectatic culprit vessels in the setting acute myocardial infarction is still matter debate, as revascularization with either percutaneous intervention surgery associated low procedural success and poor outcomes.We report case a 55-year-old male patient, admitted for inferior ST-elevation infarction, who underwent successful implantation micro-mesh self-expanding nitinol carotid stent right coronary aneurysm intravascular ultrasonography measured diameter...
Drug-eluting stents are more effective in reducing restenosis than bare-metal stents. Paclitaxel-eluting (PES) and sirolimus-eluting (SES) the most widely used first-generation drug-eluting stents, but long-term comparative data on these scant. The aim of present report is to investigate 6-year clinical outcomes PES versus SES a matched cohort single-center registry patients.Data were obtained from observational, monocentric 632 consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous coronary...
Coronary artery aneurysms and coronary ectasia are defined as focal or diffuse dilation of the arteries, respectively. Although frequently silent detected incidental findings at angiography computed tomography, have been associated with different clinical conditions, including ischemia acute syndromes, poor outcomes. The optimal management still remains unsettled, randomized data lacking treatment either surgical percutaneous procedures faces significant challenges. This review aims to...
STENT PANORAMA is a project carried out by the Young Interventional Cardiologists of Triveneto coordinated Italian Society Cardiology (GISE) Veneto delegation. The includes two parts: first, here reported, aimed at describing in standardized and easily usable way main technological characteristics latest generation drug eluting stents (DES) that are most widely used cath-labs. second, to follow, will aim summarize scientific evidence regarding performance individual devices with particular...
The muscle overlying the intramyocardial segment of an epicardial coronary artery is defined as myocardial bridge (MB).The clinical relevance MBs extremely heterogeneous, ranging from incidental finding in asymptomatic patients to different manifestations such stable or unstable angina, arrhythmias, Takotsubo syndrome other major cardiovascular events.Moreover, can evolve "asymptomatic carriers" "symptomatic over time.In this setting, haemodynamic assessment challenging and optimal therapy...
