This study aimed to validate pivotal pre-test probability (PTP)-coronary artery disease (CAD) models (CAD consortium model and IJC-CAD model). Traditional PTP models-CAD models: two traditional were used under the CAD framework, namely CAD1 CAD2. Machine learning (ML)-based ML-based derived from CAD2, enhance predictive capabilities [ML-CAD2 ML-IJC (IJC-CAD)]. The primary endpoint was obstructive CAD. performance evaluation of these conducted using receiver-operating characteristic analysis....
Background The prognostic significance of changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and wall motion score index (WMSI) patients with myocardial infarction remains unclear. Methods This study evaluated whether LVEF WMSI can predict clinical outcomes LV remodeling post-AMI patients. Using data from the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry-National Institutes Health (KAMIR-NIH), 3,510 AMI who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were retrospectively analyzed....
Successful management of chronic total occlusion (CTO)by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is known to be associated with better clinical outcomes than failed PCI. However, whether angiographic and following PCI for long CTO lesions differ from those short in the drug eluting stent (DES) era remains unknown. We therefore investigated lesion length can significantly influence6-month 2-year successful PCI.A 235 consecutive patients who underwent were allocated into either or group...
Abstract Background Various devices and techniques have been used for plaque modification in the treatment of severe coronary artery calcification. This prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label study aims to evaluate safety efficacy cutting balloon angioplasty using a novel bioabsorbable polymer-coated everolimus-eluting stent treating various degrees calcified lesions. Methods We outline trial design aimed at assessing whether (Wolverine™) is non-inferior non-compliant patients with...
The Outback LTD re‐entry catheter system has become a valuable tool for peripheral intervention and it been widely used variable chronic total occlusion (CTO). However, its use in the setting of aorta was restricted because concerns bleeding risks resulting from puncture or ballooning. This report presents case successful using Re‐Entry Catheter (Cordis, Bridgewater, New Jersy) at patient with bilateral common iliac artery occlusion. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
We present a case of persistent left superior vena cava, anomalous right pulmonary venous connection to the right-sided cava and sinus venosus atrial septal defect detected by computed tomography (CT) angiography echocardiography. These defects were surgically corrected using double-patch technique. In fact, CT can provide anatomical information about complex anomaly in systemic vasculatures. Though modern imaging techniques are useful for detecting cardiovascular disease, careful...
There are limited data comparing long-term clinical outcomes between first-generation (1G) and second-generation (2G) drug-eluting stents (DESs) in patients who underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesion.A of 840 consecutive PCI with DESs CTO lesion from January 2004 to November 2015 were enrolled. Finally, a 324 eligible received 1G-DES (Paclitaxel-eluting stent or Sirolimus-eluting stent, n = 157) 2G-DES (Zotarolimus-eluting...
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is considered an effective treatment in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). However, the long-term durability of below-the-knee (BTK) PTA known to be limited. This study sought compare 1-year clinical outcomes following stenting versus balloon alone BTK lesions. included 357 consecutive (400 limbs, 697 lesions) lesions who underwent from September 2010 December 2016. All enrolled were treated either by (stent group; 111 limbs 102 patients)...
Long-term Angiographic Follow-upAtherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (RAS) usually involves the ostium and proximal one-third of main branch.Percutaneous angioplasty with stent placement is a well recognized treatment for atherosclerotic RAS.Occasionally, RAS bifurcations.However, implantation in involving bifurcation not only troublesome, but also challenging because side branch occlusion in-stent restenosis (ISR).In present report, we describe use drug-eluting stents (DES) provisional...
Abstract Background: This study compared the safety and effectiveness of paclitaxel/cilostazol–eluting Cilotax stents with those everolimus-eluting in patients acute myocardial infarction. Real-world data from Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry were examined. Methods: A total 5,472 infarction underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (n = 212) or 5,260). The primary end point was 3-year rate target lesion failure. other points major adverse cardiovascular events (a composite...
Cigarette smoking is a significant risk factor for coronary artery disease. However, there insufficient evidence regarding the long-term clinical effects of in Asian populations with chronic total occlusion (CTO). This study aimed to assess on 5-year (median follow-up period, 4.2 ± 1.5 [interquartile range, 4.06–5.0] years) outcomes patients CTO lesions who underwent percutaneous intervention (PCI) or medical treatment (MT). We enrolled 681 consecutive diagnostic angiography and subsequent...
In real practice, two or more antihypertensive drugs are needed to achieve target blood pressure. We investigated the comparative beneficial actions of combination therapy renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASI), with calcium channel blockers (CCB) over CCB monotherapy on development new-onset diabetes mellitus (NODM) in Korean patients during four-year follow-up periods.A total 3208 consecutive hypertensive without a history who had been prescribed were retrospectively enrolled from...
Abstract There are limited long-term outcome data comparing BioLinx polymer (B)-zotarolimus-eluting stents (ZES) with phosphorylcholine (P)-ZES. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety B-ZES P-ZES in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) during a 3-year follow-up period. One thousand two hundred fifty four PCI (Endeavor [ZES-E] or Endeavor sprint [ZES-S], n = 356) resolute [ZES-R] Resolute Integrity [ZES-I], 889) were enrolled. primary endpoint...
Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium is a rare congenital cardiomyopathy caused by arrest normal endomyocardial embryogenesis.Isolated right noncompaction (IRNC) an even rarer form this disease.We report herein on 68 year-old male diagnosed with IRNC who presented right-sided heart failure, without involvement left ventricle.Diagnosis was achieved aid echocardiography and ventriculography.Medical treatment including prescription diuretics, calcium channel blocker, digitalis, improved...
Systolic and diastolic dysfunctions are related to adverse clinical outcomes in patients with sinus rhythm. The aim of this study was clarify the prognostic significance systolic persistent atrial fibrillation (AF).We evaluated data 114 consecutive AF who underwent measurement LVEDP at our hospital between March 1, 2011 December 31, 2014. were divided into two groups according left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF): LVEF < 50 (reduced fraction, REF group) ≥50 (preserved EF, PEF group)....
Abstract Background Successful chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is known to be associated with improved clinical outcomes compared failed CTO PCI. However, it not clear whether the angiographic and of long lesionis different those short lesion in drug eluting stent (DES) era. Method sand Results A 235 consecutive patients underwent successful were divided into two groups according length. Six-month two-year between groups. The baseline characteristics...
