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.

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 (

Antithrombotic treatment in primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2021
Despite a timely mechanical reperfusion with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) display an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events. Several studies have demonstrated that guideline-directed antithrombotic therapy is effective to reduce this risk.

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.

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.

Thrombolysis-guided primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Journal of Invasive Cardiology, 2018
A 77-year-old STEMI patient became hemodynamically unstable during attempted PCI, and operators were unable to visualize the right coronary artery ostium despite multiple attempts. Systemic thrombolysis resolved these issues and allowed PCI to proceed. This case highlights that fibrinolysis might still play a key role for some challenging cases in the ...

Time to Treatment in Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

New England Journal of Medicine, 2007
Early administration of reperfusion therapy improves survival among patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction. For primary percutaneous intervention, a goal of 90 minutes or less for door-to-balloon time is incorporated into many measures of quality performance, but delay remains common, with little improvement in this measure over recent years.
