Contemporary coronary drug-eluting and coated stents: a mini-review
AbstractPercutaneous coronary intervention has become a standard-of-care procedure in patients with acute and chronic coronary syndromes, in which coronary stent technology is commonly used. In this mini-review article, we summarize the characteristics of contemporary coronary drug-eluting and coated stents. (Source: Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics)

Clinical outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention for bifurcation lesions: kissing balloon inflation vs. sequential dilation
The objective of this study was to assess the clinical outcomes following single crossover stent implantation with KBI or sequential dilation alone. Data were examined for 255 non-left main bifurcation lesions (246 patients) treated with single crossover stent implantation, followed by side branch (SB) strut dilation with KBI (n = 74 lesions) or sequential dilation (n = 181 lesions) in three hospitals. Target lesion revascularization (TLR) was the primary endpoint. There was no significant difference in the pre-procedural reference diameter of both the main vessel (MV) and SB between the KBI and sequential dilation...

Determinants and prognostic implication of periprocedural myocardial injury after successful recanalization of coronary chronic total occlusion
AbstractPeriprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) has been generally associated with major adverse cardiac events (MACE), however, limited studies addressed its clinical implications following chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). To evaluate the determinants and prognostic implication of PMI following CTO-PCI. Retrospective single-centre study of 125 consecutive patients undergoing CTO-PCI was attempted between December 2013 and December 2017. Angiographic success was achieved in 115 patients (92.0%) and cTn-I values were obtained 12 –24 h following PCI. PMI was defined as an elevation of...
