Association of platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio levels with the risk of cardiac adverse events in people with type 2 diabetes undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: A large-scale prospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: PLR has been originally documented as a significant predictor of poor prognosis and a high incidence of stent thrombosis in people undergoing PCI, especially in those with T2D.PMID:38518450 | DOI:10.1016/j.dsx.2024.102987 (Source: Atherosclerosis)

The Impact of Home Cardiac Rehabilitation on Quality of Life and Psychological Well-Being in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease: A Randomized Controlled Study
This study aimed to investigate the effect of home cardiac rehabilitation (HCR) on patients after PCI. MATERIAL AND METHODS We randomly divided 106 patients after PCI into an Intervention group (n=52) and a Control group (n=53). Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), blood pressure, blood glucose, and low-density lipoprotein were measured in both groups before hospital discharge and after 3 months of engaging in the intervention. Patients were assessed using the short-form health survey (SF-12) scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scale. RESULTS After 3 months of HCR intervention, SF-12 scores of pati...

Effects of Remote Ischaemic Conditioning in Stable and Unstable Angina Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Type 4a myocardial infarction (T4aMI), defined as myocardial injury associated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is associated with a poor prognosis and there is conflicting evidence regarding the effectiveness of remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) in its prevention. This review aimed to determine the effect of RIC on stable and unstable angina patients. (Source: Heart, Lung and Circulation)

Angiography-derived physiological assessment after percutaneous coronary intervention of chronic total occlusions
AbstractScant data exploring potential suboptimal physiological results after angiographic successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusion (CTO) are available. Sixty cases of successful CTO-PCI were selected for this retrospective analysis. Post-CTO-PCI angiography-based fractional flow reserve was computed using the Murray-based fractional flow reserve ( μFR) software. Vessel-specific μFR, residual trans-stent gradient (TSG) and corrected TSGstent were calculated. In physiological suboptimal results ( μFR <  0.90), the virtual pullback pressure gradient (PPG) curves were analyzed t...

Prognosis Impact and Prediction of Trans-radial Access Failure in Patients with STEMI, a Nationwide Observational Study
Trans-radial access (TRA) is the primary arterial approach for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, occasionally, a crossover to trans-femoral access is necessary due to unsuccessful TRA. The impact of failed TRA on the prognosis in STEMI patients and the utility of predictive models for TRA failure remains uncertain. Data from the Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry (January 2014 - December 2020) were analyzed. Primary endpoints were 1-year mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).

Seven-year follow-up of endovascular treatment of iatrogenic brachioradial artery injury complicating percutaneous coronary intervention: a case report
Nagoya J Med Sci. 2024 Feb;86(1):155-159. doi: 10.18999/nagjms.86.1.155.ABSTRACTThe radial artery has been used increasingly for percutaneous coronary intervention because of its safety and feasible access route. Nevertheless, transradial complications are possible because of the variation in radial artery anatomy. We experienced a case of the brachioradial artery injury secondary to catheterization, presenting as hypovolemic shock. A 76-year-old woman presented at our emergency department complaining of effort-induced angina. Coronary angiography via the right radial artery showed critical stenosis in the middle of the le...

PCI versus CABG in coronary artery disease
Vascul Pharmacol. 2024 Mar 18:107367. doi: 10.1016/j.vph.2024.107367. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe evidence basis for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in coronary artery disease (CAD) has become more firmly established over the last decade in view of new evidence from several large, randomized trials and propensity-matched registries. In comparison to PCI, CABG offers substantial survival benefits and significant reductions in myocardial infarction and need for repeat revascularization in multivessel disease in patients with intermediate and high severity disease, whe...
