We randomly assigned patients at increased risk for perioperative cardiac complications and clinically significant coronary artery disease to undergo either revascularization or no before elective major vascular surgery. The primary end point was long-term mortality.
Intravenous sodium bicarbonate and oral acetylcysteine are widely used to prevent acute kidney injury associated adverse outcomes after angiography without definitive evidence of their efficacy.
Background— Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with periprocedural myocardial infarction (MI) in 3% to 15% of cases (depending on the definition used). In many cases, these MIs result from distal embolization lipid-core plaque (LCP) constituents. Prospective identification LCP catheter-based near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) may predict an increased risk MI and facilitate development preventive measures. Methods Results— The present study analyzed relationship between...
Importance Drug-coated balloons offer a potentially beneficial treatment strategy for the management of coronary in-stent restenosis. However, none have been previously evaluated or approved use in circulation United States. Objective To evaluate whether paclitaxel-coated balloon is superior to an uncoated patients with restenosis undergoing percutaneous intervention. Design, Setting, and Participants AGENT IDE, multicenter randomized clinical trial, enrolled 600 (lesion length...
This study examined a large registry to determine the frequency, predictors, and outcomes of native coronary artery versus bypass graft percutaneous intervention (PCI) in patients with prior surgery (CABG). The PCI target vessel corresponding CABG are poorly studied. We analyzed frequency factors associated undergoing between January 1, 2004, June 30, 2009, National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) CathPCI Registry. Generalized estimating equations logistic regression modeling was used...
The aim of this study was to describe the contemporary incidence chronic total occlusions (CTOs) and success rates CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), as well complications long-term outcomes these patients. prevalence management CTOs is understudied. Consecutive veterans undergoing angiography at 79 Veterans Affairs sites between 2007 2013 were examined. Detailed baseline clinical, angiographic, follow-up evaluated using national data from Clinical Assessment Reporting Tracking...
Cardiogenic shock after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with high mortality, particularly among patients multivessel coronary artery disease. Recent evidence suggests that use of percutaneous intervention (PCI) may be harm. However, little known about recent patterns care and outcomes for this patient population.
Motexafin lutetium (MLu; Antrin) is a photosensitizer that taken up by atherosclerotic plaque and concentrated within macrophages vascular smooth muscle cells. After photoactivation with far red light, MLu facilitates production of cytotoxic oxygen radicals mediate apoptosis. We assessed the safety tolerability phototherapy (PT) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention stent deployment.An open-label, phase I, drug light dose-escalation clinical trial PT enrolled 80 de novo...
