In this study, we compared the cumulative risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) patients with distal unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) stenosis those ostial and midshaft lesions treated drug-eluting stent (DES). The survey promoted by Italian Society Invasive Cardiology on ULMCA was an observational study involving 19 high-volume centres. We enrolled 1111 DES. Major were defined as death, myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization. Three hundred thirty-four had...
Background— Distal unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) stenosis represents a technical challenge for interventional cardiologists. In this study, we compared 2-year clinical outcomes of different stenting strategies in patients with distal ULMCA treated drug-eluting stents. Methods and Results— The survey promoted by the Italian Society Invasive Cardiology on was an observational study percutaneous intervention. selected Seven hundred seventy-three were eligible study: 456 1 stent...
The initial data of the International Study on Acute Coronary Syndromes - ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction COVID-19 showed in Europe a remarkable reduction primary percutaneous coronary intervention procedures and higher in-hospital mortality during phase pandemic as compared with prepandemic period. aim current study was to provide final results registry, subsequently extended outside larger inclusion period (up June 2020) longer follow-up 30 days).This is retrospective multicentre...
AimsThis study sought to evaluate the impact of an inter-hospital transfer strategy on treatment times and in-hospital 1 year cardiac mortality patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous intervention (p-PCI) in Italian region Emilia-Romagna, where efficient region-wide system for reperfusion has been established.
Abstract Background It has been suggested the COVID pandemic may have indirectly affected treatment and outcome of STEMI patients, by avoidance or significant delays in contacting emergency system. No data reported on impact diabetes that was therefore aim current subanalysis conducted patients included International Study Acute Coronary Syndromes–ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (ISACS-STEMI) COVID-19. Methods The ISACS-STEMI COVID-19 is a retrospective registry performed European centers...
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as an effective and safe treatment for patients with symptomatic stenosis. The indication to TAVI should be agreed upon by a Heart Team, the procedure performed in centers on-site cardiac surgery. However, complications requiring emergent surgery (ECS) have become very rare. Concurrently, access disparities prolonged waiting times are pressing issues due increasing clinical demand of TAVI. Many solutions been proposed one them is...
Aortocaval fistula (ACF) is a life-threatening condition secondary to abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) rupture or previous trauma/intervention. The treatment of ACF by an occluder device deployment rare but increasingly common approach. We report case ruptured AAA treated with after endograft deployment. A 66-year-old male was in emergent setting for deploying aorto-bi-iliac endograft. At 3-month computed tomography angiography (CTA), the persistence aorto-caval communication and increased...
Background: Several scores have been developed to facilitate risk stratification and early discharge following primary angioplasty, particularly the Zwolle Risk Score (ZRS). However, validation in large-sized studies is still lacking. Therefore, aim of current study was validate use ZRS a contemporary global population, including patients who were treated during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic enrolled large intercontinental observational study. Methods: The ISACS-STEMI COVID-19 large-scale...
Abstract Background In recent years, increasing evidence has suggested that lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] plays an important role in the development of coronary artery disease is independent other ‘traditional’ cardiovascular risk factors. This study aims to investigate whether carrying genetic variants predisposing higher Lp(a) increases early-onset myocardial infarction. Methods The Italian Genetic Study Early-Onset Myocardial Infarction a case-control enrolling 2000 patients with MI before 45...
