Comparison of Clinical Outcomes Following Single versus Multivessel Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Using Biodegradable Polymer Coated Sirolimus-Eluting Stent in an All-comers Patient Population.
CONCLUSION: Our study shows that use of the Supraflex SES in single and multivessel coronary artery disease produces good clinical outcomes during 12 months of follow-up with a low rate of revascularization, despite complex lesion morphology. PMID: 26585397 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Insufficient platelet inhibition and thromboembolic complications in patients with intracranial aneurysms after stent placement.
CONCLUSIONS The ADP inhibition percentage is related to thromboembolic complications after stent placement for intracranial aneurysms. The increase of the ADP inhibition may decrease the risk of thromboembolic complications. PMID: 26587657 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

None-ligibility for reperfusion therapy in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: Contemporary insights from the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR)
Conclusion Most patients with STEMI not receiving reperfusion therapy had a documented reason. Coronary anatomy not suitable for PCI was the major contributor to ineligibility. In-hospital mortality was higher in patients not receiving reperfusion therapy.

Can the optimal type of stent be predicted based on clinical risk factors? A subgroup analysis of the randomized BASKET-PROVE trial
Conclusions This exploratory analysis suggests that, in patients who require stenting of a large coronary artery, use of a clinical risk score may identify those patients for whom DES use may confer a clinical advantage over BMS, beyond lower restenosis rates.

Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty Improved Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome due to Renovascular Hypertension
A 51-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of preceding throbbing headache and tonic convulsions. Headache and convulsive seizure disappeared and his consciousness recovered to alert within 2 hours after onset. Neurological examination showed no abnormal findings. Laboratory examinations revealed high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (179 mg/dL), renin (42 ng/mL/hour), aldosterone (265 pg/mL), noradrenaline (1031 pg/mL), and dopamine (79 pg/mL). In brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, but not the diffusion-weighted image, showed high signal intensities in...

Incremental Value of the CRUSADE, ACUITY, and HAS-BLED Risk Scores for the Prediction of Hemorrhagic Events After Coronary Stent Implantation in Patients Undergoing Long or Short Duration of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Coronary Heart Disease
Conclusions Our analysis suggests that the CRUSADE score predicts major bleeding similarly to ACUITY and better than HAS BLED in an all-comer population with percutaneous coronary intervention and potentially identifies patients at higher risk of hemorrhagic complications when treated with a long-term dual antiplatelet therapy regimen.

Gene mutations of platelet glycoproteins and response to tirofiban in acute coronary syndrome.
CONCLUSIONS: Mutations of glycoproteins Ia, Ib, IIb and IIIa did not influence platelet aggregation in response to tirofiban in patients with unstable angina and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. PMID: 26786608 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

To intervene or not? A man with multidrug-resistant hypertension, endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair, bilateral renal artery stenosis and end-stage renal disease salvaged with renal artery stenting.
We report the case of a 69-year-old man with uncontrolled multidrug-resistant secondary hypertension following a 10 year history of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, with suprarenal fixation and concurrent angioplasty with stenting of the left renal artery for atherosclerotic renal disease, and progressive chronic kidney disease. Renal scintigraphy revealed complete loss of the right kidney's and severe reduction of the left kidney's perfusion and function. Following recent evidence and consultation with vascular surgeons regarding the technical difficulties of any procedure, escalation of antihypertensive tre...

Determinants of Mortality in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
In this study we included 293 consecutive patients with CKD who underwent PCI between 1st January 2007 and 30th September 2012. The primary outcome that we studied was all-cause mortality in a follow-up period of 12-69 months (mean 38.8 ± 21.7). Results: Age (p

The Diagnosis and Treatment of Fibromuscular Dysplasia: An Update for Cardiologists
Opinion statement Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is an arteriopathy of unknown etiology which has traditionally been associated with secondary hypertension; however, it has garnered increased attention in the cardiology field in the recent years because of its potential association with spontaneous coronary artery dissection. Cardiologists should be aware that FMD is a polyvascular disease which can affect any arterial bed and can result in morbid conditions such as chronic headaches, pulsatile tinnitus, stroke from cervical artery dissection, and renal infarction from renal artery dissection and has also been ass...

Proton-Pump Inhibitors Reduce Gastrointestinal Events Regardless of Aspirin Dose in Patients Requiring Dual Antiplatelet Therapy
ConclusionsGastroprotection with PPI therapy should be utilized in appropriately selected patients with coronary artery disease requiring DAPT, even if the patients are on low-dose aspirin. (Clopidogrel and the Optimization of Gastrointestinal Events Trial [COGENT]; NCT00557921)

Outcomes in hypertensive crisis as predicted by red cell distribution width
Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a measure of the variability in size of erythrocytes. A high RDW value indicates greater variation in size between individual erythrocytes and has been shown to be an independent predictor of mortality in patients with coronary artery disease, heart failure, acute stroke and in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of RDW in predicting clinical outcomes in patients with hypertensive crisis.
