Background— Ticagrelor and prasugrel provide stronger platelet inhibition compared with clopidogrel. Direct pharmacodynamic comparison between them has not yet been reported in ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction patients. Methods Results— In a prospective, single-center, single-blind study, 55 out of 117 (47%) screened consecutive patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention were randomized to either ticagrelor 180 mg loading followed by 90 bid, or 60 10 od for 5...
Background/Objectives: Radial artery occlusion (RAO) is the most common complication of transradial coronary catheterization. In this study, we aimed to evaluate incidence RAO and identify risk factors that predispose patients it. Methods: We conducted an investigator-initiated, prospective, multicenter, open-label study involving 1357 who underwent cardiac catheterization via route for angiography and/or a percutaneous intervention (PCI). Univariate multivariate logistic regression analyses...
To determine the prevalence of mitral regurgitation (MR) in a large cohort consecutive patients undergoing clinically indicated echocardiography and to examine distribution primary secondary MR.All an echocardiographic study 19 European centres within 3-month period were prospectively included. MR assessment was performed as recommended by Association Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI). classified according mechanism or aetiologies reported. A total 63 463 studies reviewed. Any degree described...
Managing dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) perioperatively is challenging, especially in patients who have recently undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Intravenous agents are recommended these cases. This case series describes the perioperative management of two high bleeding risk with recent PCI undergoing cardiac and non-cardiac surgeries using cangrelor monotherapy.
Safety and efficacy of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been consistently shown recent trials. However, prospective data on the clinical effects IVUS usage primary PCI are still warranted. The ULTRA-STEMI trial is a investigator-initiated observational single-center cohort aiming to enroll 80 patients with STEMI. To investigate outcomes STEMI undergoing IVUS-guided correlate derived measurements clinical, procedural, imaging follow-up...
Abstract The aim of the present study is to evaluate dyeing properties and behavior aqueous extract Alnus glutinosa leaves when applied on cotton wool fibers. antioxidant activity total phenolic content were calculated. colorfastness dyed samples such as washing, acid alkali perspiration, wet dry fastness light was performed. ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) which a measurement offered by fabric substrates against radiation also assessed. It found that shows exceptionally high content....
Abstract Thrombolysis, a standard therapy for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in non-PCI-capable hospitals, may be catastrophic patients with aortic dissection leading to further expansion, rupture and uncontrolled bleeding. Stanford type A dissection, rarely mimic infarction. We report case of patient an inferior STEMI thrombolysed tenecteplase followed by clinical electrocardiographic evidence successful reperfusion, which was found later lethal acute dissection. Prognostic...
A novel fully automatic framework for aortic valve (AV) trunk segmentation in three-dimensional (3-D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) datasets is proposed. The methodology combines a previously presented semiautomatic strategy by using shape-based B-spline Explicit Active Surfaces with two algorithms to automate the quantification of relevant AV measures. first fast rotation-invariant 3-D generalized Hough transform vessel-like dark tube detector initialize segmentation. After...
A novel semi-automatic algorithm for aortic valve (AV) wall segmentation is presented 3D transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) datasets. The proposed methodology uses a cylindrical formulation of the B-spline Explicit Active Surfaces (BEAS) framework in dual-stage energy evolution process, comprising threshold-based and localized region-based stage. Hereto, intensity shape-based features are combined to accurately delineate AV from ascending aorta (AA) left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT)....
