BACKGROUND The optimal treatment for patients suffering from stable obstructive coronary artery disease (SOCAD) is controversial. Many studies have examined the value of performing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in these patients but so far no study has been able to demonstrate an improvement in outcomes by performing PCI in addition to optimal medical therapy (OMT). This study aimed to examine the added value of performing PCI plus OMT vs. OMT alone regarding cardiovascular outcomes. ...
BACKGROUND Coronary artery perforation (CAP) is an uncommon but serious complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The aim of this study was to compare early and late clinical outcomes of CAP in patients with or without acute coronary syndromes (ACS). METHOD A retrospective review was made of the procedural records of 15 878 patients who underwent PCI at two large tertiary centers between January 2012 and December 2018. A total of 51 (0.32 %) CAP cases were identified. RESULTS Of ...
INTRODUCTION Functional assessment of coronary stenoses is crucial for determining the correct therapeutic strategy. Age-related modifications in cardiovascular function could alter the functional significance of an intermediate coronary lesion. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of age on fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurements in patients with intermediate coronary artery disease. METHODS We included patients undergoing coronary angiography at our Division...
AIM: Recurrence is a well-established complication of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). However, the exact incidence and correlates of recurrence are unknown. We, therefore, performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine and consolidate the evidence on the global incidence of SCAD recurrence. METHODS: A comprehensive search of the four major databases (EMBASE, OVID Medline, PubMed and Google Scholar) was performed from their inception to 17 January 2019. We included or...
Background null Estimation of kidney function by glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is affected by age and is important for decision making regarding treatment and prognosis of patients with cardiovascular disease. We investigated the impact of eGFR on long-term cardiovascular outcomes in an elderly population undergoing coronary angiography for evaluation or treatment of coronary artery disease. null Methods null GFR was estimated according to Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (C...
