Predictive accuracy of systolic blood pressure to left ventricular end-diastolic pressure ratio versus TIMI score for short-term mortality after primary percutaneous coronary intervention [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic ResearchIntroduction: Aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive performance of systolic blood pressure (SBP) to left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) ratio for the prediction of in-hospital and short-term mortality in a contemporary cohort of ...

A coded-aperture technique allowing x-ray phase contrast imaging with conventional sources [PDF]
, 2007 Phase contrast imaging (PCI) solves the basic limitation of x-ray imaging, i.e., poor image contrast resulting from small absorption differences. Up to now, it has been mostly limited to synchrotron radiation facilities, due to the stringent requirements

In-hospital Major Cardiovascular Events between STEMI Receiving Thrombolysis Therapy and Primary PCI
Acta Medica Indonesiana, 2016 Aim: to compare the in-hospital major cardiovascular events between thrombolysis therapy and primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Assessing the effectiveness of primary angioplasty compared with thrombolysis and its relationship to time delay: a Bayesian evidence synthesis [PDF]
, 2007 Background: Meta-analyses of trials have shown greater benefits from angioplasty than thrombolysis after an acute myocardial infarction, but the time delay in initiating angioplasty needs to be considered.

PLoS ONE, 2020 BACKGROUND:Since the long fluoroscopy time in primary PCI for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) could be an indicator of delayed reperfusion, it should be important to recognize which types of lesions require longer fluoroscopy-time in ...

Mother and child technique combined with super selective pharmacological intervention for large intracoronary thrombus [PDF]
, 2011 Primary percutaneous intervention (PCI) in acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI) is a preferred way of treatment nowadays. Sometimes it becomes difficult to get good myocardial blood flow during PCI if clot burden is large.
