No / slow flow after percutaneous intervention(PCI) for acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is common. Whether a comprehensive intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) analysis of atherosclerotic plaque can define characteristics which predict suboptimal following PCI largely unknown. s : To identify IVUS correlates in patients with ACS undergoing MATERIALS & METHODS: We performed prospective multicentre, investigator initiated study . Patients ACS, who underwent guided were enrolled Clinical,...
Myocardial bridging (MB) is a common congenital cardiovascular anomaly. There are reported associations of MB with different clinical presentations like effort angina, acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and sudden cardiac death. Acceleration atherosclerosis in proximal vessel patients MB, while bridged segments to be free atherosclerosis.We assessed who underwent intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guided percutaneous intervention (PCI) left anterior descending (LAD) artery. Plaque characteristics...
Tropical endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is endemic in southern districts of Kerala state India, and sporadic cases are reported from other parts Kerala. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) the initial imaging tool diagnostic for this condition. The inherent limitation TTE its limited sensitivity detection intracardiac thrombus. echocardiography, contrast-enhanced cardiac computed tomography, magnetic resonance (CMR) modalities This report describes a 46-year-old male with right ventricular EMF...
Background Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provides better assessment of vessel size, lesion length and plaque characteristics. There is paucity data regarding the impact IVUS on stenting pattern during primary percutaneous intervention (PCI) for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods We included patients with STEMI undergoing IVUS-guided PCI. Diagnostic angiograms were analysed by two different operators who not part procedure. They asked to formulate a treatment plan which...
