Recent reports suggest that off-label use of drug-eluting stents is associated with an increased incidence adverse events. Whether the bare-metal would yield different results unknown.
Numerous definitions have been proposed for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) after coronary revascularization. The universal definition MI designates post procedural biomarker thresholds defining percutaneous intervention (PCI)-related (type 4a) and artery bypass grafting (CABG)-related 5) which are uncertain prognostic importance. In addition, both types cTn is recommended as choice, significance less well validated than CK-MB. Widespread adoption a not clearly linked to...
Background— Women <50 years of age with coronary artery disease may represent a group at higher risk for recurrent ischemic events after percutaneous intervention (PCI); however, no long-term, multicenter outcomes assessment exists in this population. Methods and Results— Using the National Heart, Lung, Blood Institute Dynamic Registry, we evaluated association sex on cardiovascular-related in10 963 patients (3797 women, 394 years) undergoing PCI followed 5 years. Death, myocardial...
The GuideLiner catheter (Vascular Solutions, Minneapolis, MN) is a novel, rapid exchange that allows deep vessel intubation. We describe 21 patients in whom the [7 French (F) 76% and 6F 24%] was used to facilitate equipment delivery (n = 14) or engagement 7). Pressure dampening after insertion observed 12 (57%). procedure successfully completed 19 (90%) one patient developed acute closure, likely due dissection. can complex coronary interventions but should be with caution minimize risk for injury.
Background: We examined the procedural outcomes of chronic total occlusions (CTO) percutaneous coronary interventions in patients with prior artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Methods and Results: compared clinical, angiographic characteristics 3486 CTO performed (n=1101) without (n=2317) CABG at 21 centers. Prior (32% cohort) were older (67±9 versus 63±10 years; P <0.001) had more comorbidities lower left ventricular ejection fraction (50% [40–58] 55% [45–60]; <0.001). The target...
To compare iliofemoral arterial complications with transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TF-TAVR) utilizing surgical cutdown versus percutaneous access closure devices in a randomized trial.Major vascular following TAVR are significant risk of the procedure. There no data comparing whether method TF-TAVR influences such complications.From June to December 2011, 30 consecutive patients undergoing were either (C) or (P) access. Subjects underwent preoperative CT scans, pre- and...
Objectives To examine whether transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a safe and effective treatment option for stenosis in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD). Background Patients ESRD undergoing surgical have an operative mortality approaching 20% 10‐year survival of approximately 12%. We investigated TAVR more reasonable option. Methods This multicenter, retrospective study all who underwent 8 institutions between 12/2011 02/2013. Demographic characteristics, mortality,...
