Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

New England Journal of Medicine, 2007
Primary PCI refers to mechanical recanalisation of occluded artery with a balloon catheter without prior administration of thrombolytic therapy in acute STEMI. Primary PCI is a very effective method for reestablishing coronary perfusion, with reported rates of TIMI-3 flow about 90%.

Predilation in Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. [PDF]

Interv Cardiol
Background: In primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI), balloon predilation is frequently carried out before stenting but there is a lack of data regarding optimal balloon size and the effect of balloon size on procedural and clinical outcomes.

CHA2DS2-VASc Score Predict No-Reflow Phenomenon in Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2018
Introduction: No-reflow is one of the major complications of primary PCI in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction. This phenomenon is associated with adverse outcomes in these patients. In the current study, we evaluated the effectiveness of CHA2DS2-VASc score in predicting no-reflow phenomenon.

Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in a Patient with Haemophilia A [PDF]

Case Reports in Medicine, 2013
Haemophilia A is a rare genetic condition leading to coagulation factor VIII deficiency and thus predisposing to bleeding diathesis. Due to advances in treatment, life expectancy of haemophilia A sufferers is increasing, and the incidence and prevalence of coronary artery disease are rising.

Primary Percutaneous Coronary Interventions in Nonagenarians [PDF]

Clinical Cardiology, 2010
AbstractBackground:The optimal treatment of very elderly patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is not yet defined. The aim of this study is to present the feasibility and safety of primary percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in nonagenarians.Methods:A retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent primary PCI due to STEMI

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention in octogenarians

International Journal of Cardiology, 2016
Limited data are available on the outcome of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in octogenarian patients, as the elderly are under-represented in randomized trials. This study aims to provide insights on clinical characteristics, management and outcome of the elderly and very elderly presenting with STEMI.2225 STEMI patients ≥70years old (

Accelerate and Decelerate in Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2016
ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is considered a major contributor to global mortality and morbidity. The final necrotic infarct size has been identified as one of the major predictors of the clinical outcome after STEMI.

The Only Better Alternative to Rescue Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Is Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2009
The superiority of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over thrombolysis as a reperfusion strategy in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has been sufficiently documented ([1][1]).

Utility of Thrombectomy in Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Interventional Cardiology Clinics, 2013
Thrombectomy in the setting of primary percutaneous coronary intervention allows for improved macrovascular and microvascular perfusion, possible limitation of infarct size, and the preservation of left ventricular function and myocardial viability.

Rates of Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Worldwide

Circulation Journal, 2005
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is at present the most effective procedure for reducing the mortality rate of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, there is a great difference between Japan and other countries in the rate of primary PCI.Registration period, number of patients with AMI, rates of primary PCI or ...
