Background— Sirolimus-eluting stents have been reported to be effective in the treatment of coronary bifurcations. Still, it has not fully clarified which strategy would provide best results with true bifurcation lesions. Methods and Results— The CACTUS trial (Coronary bifurcations: Application Crushing Technique Using stents) is a prospective, randomized, multicenter study comparing 2 different techniques stenting, mandatory final kissing-balloon inflation, (1) elective “crush” stenting (2)...
The paucity of evidences about the long-term durability currently available transcatheter prostheses is one main issues aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We sought to assess 3-year clinical and echocardiographic outcomes patients undergoing TAVI with third generation CoreValve prosthesis (Medtronic Incorporation, MN, USA). From Italian registry, 181 who underwent from June 2007 August 2008 eligible for follow-up were analysed. All defined according Valve Academic Research Consortium....
Diabetes has been shown to be associated with worse survival and repeat target vessel revascularization (TVR) after primary angioplasty. The aim of the current study was evaluate impact diabetes on long-term outcome in patients undergoing angioplasty treated bare metal stents (BMS) drug-eluting (DES).Our population is represented by 6,298 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) included DESERT database from 11 randomized trials comparing DES BMS.Diabetes observed 972 (15.4%) who...
Mild elevations of cardiac troponin are frequent after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Their prognostic value is uncertain in the absence changes creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB).We evaluated relation between isolated I (cTnI) and all-cause mortality. We studied 3494 consecutive patients who underwent PCI 16 Italian tertiary cardiology centers. CK-MB cTnI were analyzed a central laboratory. Duration follow-up was 2 years. The present analysis restricted to 2362 with normal values at...
summary Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) has improved survival as compared to thrombolysis. Concerns still remain regarding the risk of stent thrombosis in setting STEMI, especially after drugeluting (DES) implantation. Therefore, aim this study was report on timing (ST) with both DES and bare metal stents (BMS) its prognostic significance patients undergoing pPCI. The Drug-Eluting Stent Angioplasty (DESERT) cooperation is based a pooled database including individual data...
Objectives: To organize a common approach on the management of patent foramen ovale (PFO) and cryptogenic stroke that may be shared by different specialists. Background : The PFO related to is controversial, despite an increase in interventional closure procedures. Methods: A consensus statement was developed approaching Italian national cardiological, neurological, hematological scientific societies. Task force members were identified president and/or boards each relevant society or working...
