The relationship between levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, and C-reactive protein in the serum of elderly and acute myocardial infarction
This study aimed to explore the relationship between the serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and the prognosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatment. A total of 118 early-onset AMI patients who successfully received PCI (in the PCI group, blood samples were collected before PCI, 12, 24, 48 h after PCI, and 90 d follow-up period) and 52 AMI patients who received only cardioangiography (CAG) (in the CAG group, blood samples were collected before CAG, 12, 24, 48 h after CAG, and 9...

Drug-coated balloon in the treatment of coronary artery de-novo large lesions angiography
Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand). 2024 Apr 28;70(4):196-201. doi: 10.14715/cmb/2024.70.4.31.ABSTRACTThe superiority of drug-coated balloon (DCB) in treating small vessels, branching lesions, and high-risk bleeding lesions in coronary heart disease patients has been confirmed. However, its safety and efficacy in large vessels are still unclear. We aimed to investigate whether the efficacy of DCB in large vessels is not inferior to that of drug-eluting stent (DES). From November 2019 to April 2022, a total of 88 patients in our hospital who underwent coronary angiography for the first time and decided to receive DCB or DES tre...

Effectiveness of late coronary angioplasty in restoring sinus rhythm in inferior wall myocardial infarction with complete AV block
Coronary angiogram done with temporary pacemaker support showing a proximally occluded right coronary artery. AbstractAn elderly gentleman presenting late with inferior wall myocardial infarction and complete heart block underwent revascularization of an occluded proximal right coronary artery more than 4  days after the onset of symptoms and recovered sinus rhythm within 48 h of the procedure. There are no clear guidelines for time to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in late-presenting myocardial infarction with complete atrioventricular blocks (CAVB), and studies looking at outcomes of primary PCI in this sit...

Revascularizing Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease in Acute Coronary Syndromes: Choices and Questions
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a leading cause of hospital admissions and mortality worldwide1. Revascularization of coronary artery disease (CAD) has been shown to improve cardiovascular outcomes including mortality in this patient population2. When a clear, single vessel culprit coronary artery lesion is identified on invasive coronary angiography, then the revascularization decision is straightforward with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as the best option3. However, approximately 50% of patients presenting with ACS are found to have multivessel CAD, and then the decision on which revascularization strategy t...

Improvement of coronary stent visualization using ultra-high-resolution photon-counting detector CT
ConclusionUHR CCTA by PCD-CT leads to significantly improved visualization and diagnostic performance of coronary stents, and Bv72 is the optimal reconstruction kernel showing the stent struts and in-stent lumen.Clinical relevance statementThe significantly improved visualization of coronary stents using ultra-high resolution CCTA could increase the diagnostic accuracy for in-stent restenosis and avoid unnecessary invasive quantitative coronary angiography, thus changing the clinical management for patients after percutaneous coronary intervention.Key PointsCoronary stent imaging is challenging with energy-integrating dete...

Characteristics of Patients Undergoing High-Risk Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Contemporary United States Practice
There is no universally accepted definition of high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (HRPCI), nor is there consensus regarding when to use mechanical circulatory support (MCS) during HRPCI. Expert consensus on HRPCI have suggested considering the presence of three distinct entities in the decision to use MCS: complexity of coronary anatomy/ lesion characteristics, patient comorbidities, and adverse hemodynamics1. Although the use of MCS during HRPCI has increased significantly over the past decade (27-fold increase in annual number from 2008 to 2018)2, little is known regarding the detailed characteristics of these ...
