Collateral donor artery physiology and the influence of a chronic total occlusion on fractional flow reserve [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background— The presence of a concomitant chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO) and a large collateral contribution might alter the fractional flow reserve (FFR) of an interrogated vessel, rendering the FFR unreliable at predicting ischemia should the ...

Facilitated percutaneous coronary intervention [PDF]

open access: yesHeart, 2005
Multiple, large randomised trials comparing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with fibrinolytic therapy for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have shown that primary PCI results in lower rates of death, reinfarction, and stroke.1 Consequently, primary PCI has become the preferred reperfusion strategy for STEMI.

Facilitated Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

open access: yesJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 2006
The goal of the initial treatment for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is rapid and effective reperfusion. Randomized trials have demonstrated that primary angioplasty is preferred over thrombolysis if done in a timely manner and by an experienced team. However, due to many factors, performance of primary angioplasty within the goal of 90 min

Infarct size and left ventricular remodelling after preventive percutaneous coronary intervention [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Objective: We hypothesised that, compared with culprit-only primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), additional preventive PCI in selected patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction with multivessel disease would not be associated with ...
