The First‐in‐Man Technique of Drug Eluting and Perfusion Therapy for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Treating ostial left circumflex artery (LCx) lesions in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for left main disease (LMD) remains a challenge. Despite recent recommendations for the use of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) in this lesion, there are concerns about crossover‐stenting from the left main trunk (LMT) to the left anterior ...

Prophylactic IABP Use in Protected PCI Reduces Infarction Size and Leads to More Complete Revascularization in Comparison to Rescue IAPB Use

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There is little data questioning the timing of intra‐aortic balloon pump (IABP) implantation in non‐cardiogenic shock patients undergoing high‐risk percutaneous procedures. Aims We compared prophylactic IABP (P‐IABP) implantation to an emergent, unplanned rescue use (R‐IABP) in high‐risk PCI. Methods Among 300 IAPB patients who were

Multicenter comparison of four contemporary sensitive troponin immunoassays [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2014
Background: The IFCC Task Force on Clinical Applications of Cardiac Biomarkers currently recommends evaluation of all troponin immunoassays within the same population to compare their performance. Hence, we planned a multicenter study to compare the four

Electrocardiographic R Wave Peak Time: Correlation With the Severity of Coronary Artery Disease and Prognosis in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Electrocardiographic parameters have emerged as valuable noninvasive markers for risk stratification in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Aims This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between R wave peak time (RWPT) and coronary artery disease (CAD) severity, and to assess its prognostic value for in‐hospital major adverse cardiac ...

High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin and the Risk Stratification of Patients With Renal Impairment Presenting With Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome

Circulation, 2017
Background: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin testing may improve the risk stratification and diagnosis of myocardial infarction, but concentrations can be challenging to interpret in patients with renal impairment, and the effectiveness of testing in ...
