PCSK‐9 Inhibitors Can Significantly Improve the Coronary Slow Flow Caused by Elevated Lipoprotein (a) in ST‐Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Coronary slow flow and no reflow significantly predict poor prognosis in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients, especially those with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Early identification of factors contributing to these conditions can mitigate ischemic events and improve outcomes.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Angiography‐Derived Murray Law‐Based Quantitative Flow Ratio (μQFR) Versus Pressure‐Derived Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) in Moderate to Severe Calcified Coronary Lesions—The DIAMOND Study

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Murray law‐based Quantitative Flow Ratio (μQFR) is an innovative AI‐driven method for evaluating coronary lesions using contrast flow velocity estimates. Unlike traditional approaches, μQFR does not require pressure wires or hyperemia induction.

Local Intracoronary Eptifibatide versus Mechanical Aspiration in Patients with Acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction

open access: yesInternational Journal of Vascular Medicine, 2014
Objectives. We compared local delivery of intracoronary eptifibatide via perfusion catheter to thrombus aspiration in primary PCI. Background. Perfusion catheter increases local concentration of the drugs at the culprit site and prolongs their residency ...

Accurate and Safe Directional Coronary Atherectomy Using the X‐Ray Detector's Calculated Optimal Angular View

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) is effective for bifurcation lesions but carries a risk of coronary perforation, due to geographical and recognition errors during the procedure. Geographical errors involve incorrect targeting of plaque‐free areas, whereas recognition errors stem from the misinterpretation of visual ...

Microvascular dysfunction in the immediate aftermath of chronic total coronary occlusion recanalization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Objectives The aim of this study was to compare microvascular resistance under both baseline and hyperemic conditions immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of a chronic total occlusion (CTO) with an unobstructed reference vessel in ...

Use of ReCross to Increase Success Rate With Antegrade CTO PCI—A Multicenter Observational Study

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Antegrade approach remains one of the predominant techniques for CTO PCI. Success rates have increased significantly recently due to advancements in devices and strategies, along with the hybrid algorithm. ReCross is a uniquely modified microcatheter with two over‐the‐wire lumens and three exit ports, offering significant potential ...
