Transradial Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Interventional Cardiology Clinics, 2015
Despite advances in antithrombotic and antiplatelet therapy, bleeding complications remain an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Many bleeding events are related to the access site.

An unusual primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Heart, 2009
A 72-year-old woman presented with back pain, subsequently attributed to degenerative arthritis. While in hospital, following an episode of severe back pain she developed chest pain. An ECG showed marked ST elevation in the inferior leads and third degree atrioventricular block (panel A). She underwent emergent coronary angiography.

Thrombus Aspiration during Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

New England Journal of Medicine, 2008
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is effective in opening the infarct-related artery in patients with myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation. However, the embolization of atherothrombotic debris induces microvascular obstruction and diminishes myocardial reperfusion.We performed a randomized trial assessing whether manual ...

Intracoronary Streptokinase after Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

New England Journal of Medicine, 2007
Microvascular perfusion is often impaired after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We proposed that in situ thrombosis might contribute to poor myocardial perfusion in this setting. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated the effect of low-dose intracoronary streptokinase administered immediately after primary PCI.Forty-one patients ...

Ischemic postconditioning during primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2017
BackgroundAlthough some studies have shown potential benefit for ischemic postconditioning (IPoC) during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in improving surrogate markers of reperfusion and infarction size, the benefit of this approach on clinical outcomes remains unknown.Methods and ResultsElectronic databases were searched for ...

Re-infarction after primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2015
Thrombus formation, usually on a ruptured atherosclerotic plaque, is pivotal in the pathogenesis of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This thrombus formation provides the milieu for re-occlusion of the infarct-related artery, the main location of re-infarction post-STEMI.

Thrombus aspiration during primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2012
The main goal of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is to achieve not only restoration of flow in the epicardial coronary artery, but also reperfusion at the level of myocardial tissue. Distal embolization is a possible complication of PPCI; in these patients, a microvascular injury occurs, which finally leads to a lack of myocardial ...

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention: models of intervention in Spain

EuroIntervention, 2012
Early reperfusion of the occluded artery is the mainstay of the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and the best way to coordinate the resources to deliver optimal care as soon as possible is through STEMI networks.
