Hospital‐Level Variations in Outcomes and Readmissions Among Patients With STEMI and Cardiogenic Shock Receiving Mechanical Circulatory Support: Insights From a National Cohort

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The utilization of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients presenting with ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) has increased substantially in recent years. However, it remains unclear whether the spectrum of MCS devices available and the type of hospital in which patients are ...

Novel Insights Into the Effects of Interleukin 6 Antagonism in Non–ST‐Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction Employing the SOMAscan Proteomics Platform

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Interleukin 6 concentration is associated with myocardial injury, heart failure, and mortality after myocardial infarction. In the Norwegian tocilizumab non–ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction trial, the first randomized trial of ...

Coronary Perforation During Excimer Laser Angioplasty in a Patient With Prior Thoracic Radiotherapy

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Management of heavily calcified coronary lesions remains challenging despite advances in plaque‐modifying technologies. Excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) is an effective adjunctive strategy with a low risk of no‐reflow. Case Summary A 75‐year‐old woman with non–ST‐segment elevation acute coronary syndrome and severe left ...

Interaction of Operator−Patient Sex on Peri‐Procedural Treatments and Major Coronary Outcomes After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There are limited data evaluating the association between operator−patient sex, and outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods We included 138,112 consecutive PCI procedures in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in England and Wales, 2017−2020.

Prevalence and Clinical Correlates of TIMI Flow Grade Zero Culprit-artery Occlusion in Patients with NSTEMI Undergoing Early Percutaneous Coronary Intervention [PDF]

Al-Anbar Medical Journal
Background: A substantial proportion of patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) have an acutely occluded culprit artery despite the absence of diagnostic ST-segment elevation on the presenting electrocardiogram.Objective: To ...

Buddy Wire–Augmented Intravascular Lithotripsy in Refractory Calcified Coronary Lesions: A Five‐Case Series

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heavily calcified coronary lesions remain a major challenge in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), often limiting the effectiveness of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL). We report a five‐case series in which IVL failed to achieve adequate lesion modification but was successfully augmented by the addition of one or more buddy wires.

Diagnostic Accuracy and Feasibility of Quantitative Flow Ratio at Low Frame Rate Angiography: The Prospective Multicentre Australian AVALON Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR) is a well‐established, non‐hyperemic, angiographic, wire‐free predictor of ischemia when compared to Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR). However, its diagnostic accuracy at low frame rates (< 10 frames/second), commonly used in contemporary practice to minimize radiation exposure, has not been evaluated ...

Relationship between the TIMI risk score and the angiographic severity of atherosclerosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation: a cross-sectional study

Revista Médica de Minas Gerais
Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases, particularly non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), are a major concern due to their high morbidity and mortality rates.

Clinical Outcomes of Drug‐Eluting Stents and Drug‐Coated Balloons in Tortuous Small Coronary Lesions

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In small, tortuous coronary lesions, the long‐term comparative performance of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty versus drug‐eluting stent (DES) treatment remains uncertain, despite both strategies being widely used in contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) practice. Aims This study aimed to compare 3‐year clinical

Evaluating the Impact of Enhanced Stent Visualization on PCI Outcomes in Older Patients With Multivessel Disease

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Optimal stent expansion is a key determinant of long‐term outcomes after PCI. Intravascular imaging provides the most accurate assessment of stent deployment but remains underused, especially in older patients with MI and multivessel disease.
