The LCX is the most prevalent culprit vessel with acute complete occlusion in NSTEMI patients, yet it has little effect on clinical outcomes. This subset of patients may be predicted by STV5 + STV6 ≥ 2.5 mm and T‐wave imbalance. ABSTRACT Background Complete blockage of the culprit coronary artery is associated with 30% of NSTEMI (non‐ST‐segment ...

Usefulness of quantitative and qualitative angiographic lesion morphology, and clinical characteristics in predicting major adverse cardiac events during and after native coronary balloon angioplasty [PDF]
Major, adverse cardiac events (death, myocardial infarction, bypass surgery and reintervention) occur in 4 to 7% of all patients undergoing coronary balloon angioplasty. Prospectively collected clinical data, and angiographic quantitative and qualitative

High-pressure balloon angioplasty of coronary sinus vein [PDF]
Biventricular pacing is an accepted therapy for heart failure. With increasing rates of implantation, anatomical problems with the coronary sinus will become more evident. A 52-year-old man with non-surgical ischaemic cardiomyopathy underwent implantation of a biventricular defibrillator. The coronary sinus was engaged with a CSEH sheath (Guidant Ltd,
