Coronary stent infection: a systematic review
Coronary stent infection (CSI) is the rarest complication associated with the percutaneous coronary intervention, occurring in less than 0.1% of cases. So far, all reported instances are limited to case reports. CSI presents itself in various, often confusing, ways in clinical settings. Therefore, the current systematic review summarizes reports of CSI’s clinical presentations, causative pathogens, diagnoses and treatments. This systematic review considered three online databases, using reference lists as an additional source. All case reports or case series with stent infection in the coronary artery were included – h...

Enhancing occupational safety in the X-ray laboratory
Despite more than 80% of interventional operators reporting one or more orthopedic injuries attributed to the X-ray laboratory, there has been limited adoption of various strategies and equipment to minimize these injuries. A comprehensive review of these methods to reduce musculoskeletal strain is lacking in the current literature, and is essential in order to ensure a long, healthy, and productive interventional career.

Usefulness of intravascular ultrasound assessment after development of the slow flow phenomenon during percutaneous coronary intervention
The slow flow phenomenon is a critical complication during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) that leads to poor outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the mechanisms underlying the slow flow phenomenon using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). We retrospectively analyzed IVUS data from 62 lesions in 58 consecutive patients who experienced the slow flow phenomenon during PCI. IVUS was performed immediately after the development of the slow flow phenomenon to assess its cause. No IVUS-based evidence of mechanical obstruction was categorized as distal embolization. Distal embolization was observed in 46 lesions (74%). The slow fl...

Prediction of medial damage by rotational atherectomy using intravascular ultrasound
This study evaluated whether intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images before rotational atherectomy (RA) can predict medial injury caused by RA burr passage in advance.
Methods
Thirty-three patients with de-novo lesions located in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) who underwent IVUS before and immediately after RA were enrolled. The spatial axes of the two matched pre- and post-RA IVUS cross-sectional images were merged. The segment was considered to have medial damage when the continuity of the intimal layer was disrupted and the medial layer was in direct contact with the lumen on post-RA IVUS.
R...

Association between coronary artery calcium score and in-stent restenosis after drug-eluting stent implantation
Background
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a modifiable contributor of in-stent restenosis (ISR), but quantitative analyses using a noninvasive approach are limited. We aimed to investigate the associations between CAC score derived from ECG-gated coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) or non-gated non-contrast chest computed tomography (NCCT) and ISR.
Methods
We included 368 lesions in 194 patients with coronary drug-eluting stent implantations in final analyses. CAC was quantified using the Agatston score. Primary endpoint was ISR, defined as lumen diameter stenosis over 50% at the stent segment or i...

Single-nucleotide polymorphism of ADRβ2 and CDKN1B genes in Egyptian patients with coronary artery in-stent restenosis
Conclusion
our results indicate that ADRβ2 (rs1042713) and CDKN1B (rs36228499) could be associated with the development of ISR in Egyptians. (Source: Coronary Artery Disease)

Patterns and outcomes of invasive management of type 2 myocardial infarction in the United States
Background
Type 2 myocardial infarction (MI) occurs due to a mismatch in myocardial oxygen supply and demand without unstable coronary artery disease. We sought to identify patterns, predictors and outcomes of invasive management of type 2 MI in the USA.
Methods
Adults aged ≥18 years hospitalized with type 2 MI were identified in a cross-sectional study from the 2018 National Inpatient Sample. Invasive management was defined as invasive coronary angiography or revascularization. Patient, hospital and geographic characteristics associated with invasive management were identified by multivariable logistic regr...

Incidence and predictors of sudden cardiac arrest in the immediate post-percutaneous coronary intervention period for ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a single-center study
Conclusion
We identified essential factors associated with SCA within 48 h post PCI for STEMI. Future studies are needed to devise effective strategies to decrease the risk of SCA in the early post-PCI period. (Source: Coronary Artery Disease)

Systemic immune-inflammation index predicts in-hospital and long-term outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
Conclusion
SII, a novel inflammatory index, was found to be a better predictor for in-hospital and long-term outcomes than traditional risk factors in patients with STEMI undergoing pPCI. (Source: Coronary Artery Disease)
