Coronary ischemia and percutaneous intervention

Cardiovascular Pathology, 2010
The interventional treatment of ischemia is a complex issue grounded on an understanding of basic pathophysiology, but translated and implemented in practice by extensive clinical trial data representing patients with a spectrum of ischemia-causing clinical syndromes and anatomical variations of coronary artery disease (CAD).

Percutaneous coronary intervention in the elderly

Nature Reviews Cardiology, 2010
In contemporary practice, more than one in five patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are aged ≥75 years and the proportion of elderly individuals in the population is growing. The elderly have more cardiovascular risk factors and a greater burden of ischemic disease than younger patients needing PCI and, therefore, derive ...

Percutaneous coronary intervention

Medicine, 2002
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the dominant method for mechanically improving myocardial perfusion in the treatment of coronary artery disease. The procedure is performed via a small intra-arterial sheath and usually involves a single overnight stay in hospital. Day-case treatment is not infrequent. A balloon is used to dilate the coronary

Percutaneous coronary intervention in the elderly

International Journal of Cardiology, 2015
Our population dynamics are changing. The number of octogenarians and older people in the general population is increasing and therefore the number of older patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome or stable angina is increasing. This group has a larger burden of coronary disease and also a greater number of concomitant comorbidities when ...

Complications of percutaneous coronary intervention

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases
Complications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. In-depth understanding of the mechanisms and management options of these complications as well as timely recognition and action can sometimes be lifesaving. In this review we discuss the mechanisms, prevention methods, diagnosis, and management of

Advances in percutaneous coronary intervention

Current Cardiology Reports, 2009
Initially developed more than 30 years ago as simple balloon-based dilatation for focal coronary stenoses, the introduction of the coronary stent allowed percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to be applied to most patients with coronary artery disease.

Tachyarrhythmias in percutaneous coronary interventions

Journal of Electrocardiology, 2006
Accompanying the clear benefits, there are certain risks of tachyarrhythmias in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), including serious ventricular arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation (AF). Ventricular arrhythmias may result from excess catheter manipulation, intracoronary dye injection, new ischemic events, or reperfusion.

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

2016
There are over one million percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) performed each year in the United States. PCI refers to catheter- based procedures that allow for improved perfusion through epicardial coronary arteries to the myocardium. PCI originally referred to percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, a solely balloon-based procedure, but
