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

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.

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 ...

AbstractThe ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) and Non-ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) might occur because of coronary artery stenosis. The gene biomarkers apply to the clinical diagnosis and therapeutic decisions in Myocardial Infarction.

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

Outcome after acute myocardial infarction: a comparison of patients seen by cardiologists and general physicians [PDF]
Background: The management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has improved over the last 50 years with the more frequent use of effective medicines and procedures. The clinical benefit of the speciality of the attending physician is less clear.

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.

ABSTRACT Background Despite recommendations in international guidelines, Intracoronary pressure wire assessment (PWA) utilization remains limited in clinical practice. This study aims to describe (i) trends of PWA during Percutaneous coronary interventional (PCI), (ii) factors that predict its application, and (iii) association with in‐hospital ...
