The effects of nicorandil on microvascular function in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary PCI

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2015
BackgroundNicorandil, as a selective potassium channel opener, has dual action including coronary and peripheral vasodilatation and cardioprotective effect through ischemic preconditioning.

A Novel 3D Wiring Technique—ZOLUTION Zero Degree OverLap View Universal Three DimensIONal CTO Wiring

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present a novel simple and easy‐to‐use 3D wiring technique for coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) named ZOLUTION—Zero OverLap View Universal Three dimensIONal wiring. ZOLUTION can be used for: (1) Distal cap puncture, (2) CTO body wiring, (3) Retrograde wiring, and (4) Reverse controlled antegrade and retrograde tracking (reverse CART)

Unstable angina pectoris prior to ST elevation myocardial infarction in patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention has no influence on prognosis

Biomedical Papers, 2015
Background: Pre-infarction unstable angina pectoris (UAP) can be considered ischemic preconditioning. The aim of this study was to compare short and long term outcomes in patients with or without pre-infarction UAP and ST elevation myocardial infarction (

Outcomes of Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) were excluded from major trials of left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). Aim The objective of this study was to describe this population and evaluate outcomes after LAAO in patients with and without HFrEF.

Advances in procedural techniques--antegrade. [PDF]

, 2014
There have been many technological advances in antegrade CTO PCI, but perhaps most importantly has been the evolution of the "hybrid' approach where ideally there exists a seamless interplay of antegrade wiring, antegrade dissection re-entry and ...

Effect of Ischemic Postconditioning on Infarct Size in Patients With ST‐Elevation Myocardial Infarction Treated by Primary PCI Results of the POSTEMI (POstconditioning in ST‐Elevation Myocardial Infarction) Randomized Trial

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2014
Background Reduction of infarct size by ischemic postconditioning (IPost) has been reported in smaller proof‐of‐concept clinical studies, but has not been confirmed in other smaller studies.

Variability in ACT Response to Standard UFH Bolus During PCI: A Prospective Study on Determinants of Subtherapeutic Anticoagulation

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Unfractionated heparin (UFH) remains the standard anticoagulant during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), with guidelines recommending a target activated clotting time (ACT) of ≥250 s. However, despite receiving a standardized bolus dose, many patients fail to achieve this target.

Unveiling the Microvasculature: The Index of Microcirculatory Resistance and Its Expanding Role in Cardiovascular Care

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) is a cutting‐edge, wire‐based tool that advances the capability assessment of coronary microvascular function. By utilizing distal coronary pressure and mean transit time under maximal hyperemia, IMR delivers consistent, reproducible insights into the microvasculature's dynamic health.

Pre‐Existing and New‐Onset Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent comorbidity in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). In addition, new‐onset AF can occur after TAVI. However, data on how AF affects outcomes in patients undergoing TAVI remain conflicting.

Value of aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase Ratio in predicting coronary thrombus burden in ST elevation myocardial infarction patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Al-Azhar Assiut Medical Journal
Background and aim The liver is extremely responsive to circulatory hemodynamics as a result of its intricate network of blood arteries. Elevated blood transaminase levels are frequently detected in individuals with myocardial infarction, this study is ...
