Cancer patients are mostly excluded from percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) clinical trials and oncologic history is lacking most PCI registries. Thus, little known about the outcomes following among cancer survivors. Our aim was to examine prevalence long-term outcome of survivors a large patient cohort.We retrospectively integrated analyzed cardiovascular data 12 785 consecutive who underwent between April 2004 October 2014. were compared with pair-matched cancer-naive...
Background Exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) is considered have a carcinogenic effect. The authors previously reported nonsignificant association between TRAP and cancer risk in relatively small cohort of myocardial infarction survivors. This study assessed whether exposure associated with subsequent large coronary patients. Methods & results Consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous interventions major medical centre central Israel from 2004 2014 were followed for through...
Abstract Objective: To assess the value of ratio between contrast medium volume and glomerular filtration rate (CMGFRr) for prediction development contrast‐induced nephropathy (CIN) mortality in patients with ST‐segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Background: Renal function is a strong predictor outcome STEMI. CIN may complicate course PCI these patients. Methods: The study population included all 871 consecutive...
Background Intravenous dobutamine administration improves short-term hemodynamics in patients with severe congestive heart failure (CHF). However, the clinical benefit of periodic remains controversial. Objective To evaluate efficacy intermittent refractory CHF. Methods Nineteen New York Heart Association class III IV, ischemia-induced CHF participated this double-blind, placebo-controlled study. All received intravenous or placebo over a 24-hour period every 2 to 3 weeks for 6 months. They...
Background About a decade past the first transcatheter aortic valve implantation ( TAVI ), data are limited regarding temporal trends accompanying its evolution from novel technology to mainstream therapy. We evaluated these in large multicenter registry. Hypothesis is changing and improving with time. Methods Patients who underwent between January 2008 December 2014 at 3 high‐volume Israeli centers were divided into 5 time quintiles according procedure date. Outcomes analyzed reported Valve...
Abstract Background American and European valvular heart disease guidelines suggest considering aortic valve surgery in patients with severe regurgitation (AR) progressive increase left ventricle (LV) end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) into the range or decrease LV function. Surprisingly, there are almost no studies that actually examined systematically rate of change over time these widely used parameters clinical practice AR. Purpose determine LVEDD, ventricular systolic (LVESD) fractional...
AimsThe pathogenesis of late coronary stent thrombosis may be related to impaired arterial healing. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been shown play an important role in repair and re-endothelialization following vascular injury. We hypothesized that patients who develop reduced or dysfunctional EPCs, aimed compare EPC level function experienced vs. matched controls.
<b><i>Objectives:</i></b> Patients with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) have an increased risk of atherothrombotic complications. There are limited data regarding the outcome patients APS who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Accordingly, we aimed to assess long-term outcomes these patients. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Nineteen underwent PCI between years 2003 and 2008 were compared 380 had undergone during same period (PCI...
Abstract Background The last decade, regarded as the DES era in PCI, has witnessed significant advances management of coronary disease. We aimed to assess temporal trends practice and outcome percutaneous intervention (PCI) during drug eluting stent (DES) era. Methods analyzed 18,641 consecutive PCI's performed between January 2004 December 2016, distinguished by procedural date ( Q 1 : 2004–2006, n = 4,865; 2 2007–2009, 4,977; 3 2010–2012, 4,230; 4 2013–2016, 4,569). Results At...
Accumulated experience combined with technological advancements in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) over the past four decades, has led to a gradual increase PCI utilization and complexity. We aimed investigate temporal trends complexity outcomes of complex (C-PCI) our institution.We analyzed 20,301 consecutive procedures performed 12-year period. C-PCI was defined as procedure involving at least one following: Chronic total occlusion (CTO), left main (LM), bifurcation or saphenous...
Abstract Aims : Given the anecdotal reports and case series suggesting that drug‐eluting coronary stents [DES] may be still vulnerable to thrombosis after six months, we sought assess this risk in patients undergoing non‐cardiac surgery months stenting. Methods Results Linking Rabin Medical Centre interventional cardiology database with its surgical database, identified 78 who underwent DES placement subsequently [after months] had noncardiac [15‐vascular, 37‐ abdominal genitourinary...
To conduct a risk-adjusted gender-based analysis of clinical outcomes following drug-eluting stent (DES) versus bare metal (BMS) implantation in patients with coronary artery disease.We compared total mortality rate, myocardial infarction, and event-free survival (defined as freedom from death, infarction and/or repeat revascularisation) consecutive cohort 7,662 undergoing percutaneous intervention at our institution, including 1,835 (25.4%) women. Follow-up was six months to 6.2 years...
Background Patients who have had an acute coronary syndrome ( ACS ) are at increased risk of recurrent cardiovascular events; however, paradoxically, high-risk patients may derive the greatest benefit from guideline-recommended therapies often undertreated. The aim our study was to examine management, clinical outcomes, and temporal trends after stratified by Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) score for secondary prevention, a recently validated tool that incorporates 9 factors....
