Among patients with stable coronary disease and moderate or severe ischemia, whether clinical outcomes are better in those who receive an invasive intervention plus medical therapy than alone is uncertain.
This Consensus Document is the first of two reports summarizing views an expert panel organized by European Association Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI) on clinical use intracoronary imaging including intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The document appraises role to guide percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) in practice. Current evidence regarding impact guidance cardiovascular outcomes summarized, patients or lesions most likely...
Background— Myocardial and renal injury commonly contribute to perioperative morbidity mortality after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a phenomenon whereby brief periods of ischemia followed by reperfusion in one organ provide systemic protection from prolonged ischemia. To investigate whether remote reduces the incidence myocardial patients undergoing elective open repair, we performed randomized trial. Method Results— Eighty-two were repair with...
Clinical trials that have assessed the effect of revascularization in patients with stable coronary disease routinely excluded those advanced chronic kidney disease.
Apelin and its cognate G protein–coupled receptor APJ constitute a signaling pathway with positive inotropic effect on cardiac function vasodepressor in the systemic circulation. The apelin-APJ appears to have opposing physiological roles renin-angiotensin system. Here we investigated whether can directly antagonize vascular disease-related Ang II actions. In ApoE-KO mice, exogenous induced atherosclerosis abdominal aortic aneurysm formation; found that coinfusion of apelin abrogated these...
The feasibility of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) for modification severe coronary artery calcification (CAC) was demonstrated in the Disrupt CAD I study (Disrupt Coronary Artery Disease). We next sought to confirm safety and effectiveness IVL these lesions.The II a prospective multicenter, single-arm post-approval conducted at 15 hospitals 9 countries. Patients with CAC clinical indication revascularization underwent vessel preparation stent implantation IVL. primary end point in-hospital...
Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) occurs in 6% to 15% of myocardial infarctions (MIs) and disproportionately affects women. Scientific statements recommend multimodality imaging MINOCA define the underlying cause. We performed optical coherence tomography (OCT) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) assess mechanisms MINOCA.
Over the past 2 decades, chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention has developed into its own subspecialty of interventional cardiology. Dedicated terminology, techniques, devices, courses, and training programs have enabled progressive advancements. However, only a few randomized trials been performed to evaluate safety efficacy CTO intervention. Moreover, several published observational studies shown conflicting data. Part paucity clinical data stems from fact that...
Randomised controlled trials have reported instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) to be non-inferior fractional flow reserve (FFR) for major adverse cardiovascular events at one year; however, iFR is limited by sensitive landmarking of the pressure waveform, and assumption that maximal minimal resistance occur during a fixed period diastole. We sought validate resting full-cycle (RFR), novel non-hyperaemic index coronary stenosis severity based on unbiased identification lowest distal aortic...
The feasibility, safety, and clinical utility of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) without radio-contrast medium in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) are unknown. In this series, we investigated a specific strategy for 'zero contrast' PCI the aims preserving renal function preventing need replacement therapy (RRT) CKD.A total 31 CKD [creatinine = 4.2 mg/dL, inter-quartile range (IQR) 3.1-4.8, estimated glomerular filtration rate 16 ± 8 mL/min/1.73 m2] who had...
Pressure measurement for the duration of wave-free period (WFP) is considered essential resting-state physiological assessment coronary stenosis severity using instantaneous ratio (iFR).The aim this study was to compare other diastolic resting indexes iFR.In population VERIFY2 (Pd/Pa vs iFR in an Unselected Population Referred Invasive Angiography) study, calculated by proprietary software (Volcano Harvest, Volcano Corporation, Rancho Cordova, California) compared with distal pressure and...
