Development and Validation of a Cardiovascular Risk Assessment Model in Patients With Established Coronary Artery Disease
In conclusion, in patients with established coronary artery disease, the risk of cardiovascular mortality during longer term follow-up can be adequately predicted using the clinical characteristics available at baseline. However, the prediction of nonfatal outcomes, both separately and combined with fatal outcomes, poses major challenges for clinicians and model developers.

Thrombocytopenia in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation on Oral Anticoagulation Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
In conclusion, mild to moderate baseline thrombocytopenia does not seem to have a clinically significant effect on bleeding or thrombotic or thromboembolic complications after PCI in these frail patients receiving multiple antithrombotic drugs.

Comparison by Meta-Analysis of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Patients With a Mean Age of ≥70 Years
A paucity of published data evaluating the outcomes of older patients (age ≥70 years) undergoing revascularization for unprotected left main coronary artery disease is available. We performed aggregate data meta-analyses of the clinical outcomes (all-cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke, repeat revascularization, and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events at 30 days and 12 and 22 months) in studies comparing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with a mean age of ≥70 years and unprotected left main coronary artery disease. A compre...

Usefulness of Local Delivery of Thrombolytics Before Thrombectomy in Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (the Delivery of Thrombolytics Before Thrombectomy in Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention DISSOLUTION Randomized Trial)
In conclusion, local, intrathrombus delivery of thrombolytics before manual thrombectomy improved the postprocedural coronary flow and myocardial perfusion and the 6-month clinical outcomes.

Impact of Bivalirudin and Paclitaxel-Eluting Stents on Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of the Left Anterior Descending Artery
In conclusion, in patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI of LAD, the use of bivalirudin was associated with a reduction in mortality and bleeding rates at 3 years. PES reduced revascularization rates in this population but did not have a significant impact on mortality.

Incidence and Outcome of High On-Treatment Platelet Reactivity in Patients With Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (from the VIP VerifyNow and Inhibition of Platelet Reactivity Study)
In conclusion, 1/3 of patients with acute coronary syndromes who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention and stenting showed high on-treatment RPR on bedside monitoring. They had a worse prognosis, but the level of platelet inhibition was not independently associated with the incidence of ischemic or bleeding events.

Contemporary Analysis of Incidence and Outcomes of Stent Thrombosis Presenting as ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction in a Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Cohort
There are limited data about the effectiveness of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for stent thrombosis treatment. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence and outcomes of PPCI in patients with ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to stent thrombosis, and comparing the outcomes with patients treated for de novo coronary thrombosis. This was an observational cohort study of 2,935 patients who underwent PPCI from 2003 to 2011 with follow-up for a median of 3.0 years (interquartile range 1.2 to 4.6). The primary end point was the first major adverse cardiac event (MACE) defined as death, nonfatal ...

Outcome of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Following Recent Surgery
The objective of this study was to determine clinical outcomes of patients undergoing PCI within 7 days after a surgical procedure. We assessed outcomes of 517 patients who underwent PCI within 7 days after a surgery across 44 hospitals from January 2010 to December 2011 from the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Cardiovascular Consortium registry. Patients with postoperative PCI were compared with all other patients with PCI using propensity-matched analysis. Of the 65,175 patients who underwent PCI within the study period, 517 patients had undergone surgery within the previous 7 days. In unadjusted analysis, patients...

Association Between Intraprocedural Thrombotic Events and Adverse Outcomes After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (a Harmonizing Outcomes With RevasculariZatiON and Stents in Acute Myocardial Infarction HORIZONS-AMI Substudy)
The present study sought to determine the extent to which adverse angiographic events encountered during percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Patients with STEMI represent a cohort at particularly high risk of intraprocedural thrombotic events (IPTEs). The overall frequency and implications of IPTEs occurring in patients with STEMI have not been systematically quantified in previous studies. A total of 3,163 patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation for STEMI in the Harmonizing Ou...

Comparison of Outcomes for Patients ≥75 Years of Age Treated With Pre-Hospital Reduced-Dose Fibrinolysis Followed by Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Versus Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Alone for Treatment of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
A coordinated system of care for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions that includes prehospital administration of reduced-dose fibrinolytic agents coupled with urgent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), termed FAST-PCI, has been shown to be at least as effective as primary PCI (PPCI) alone. However, this reduced-dose fibrinolytic strategy could be associated with increased bleeding risk, especially in elderly patients. The purpose of this study was to examine 30-day outcomes in patients aged ≥75 years with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions treated with either strategy. Data from 120 p...

Treatment Patterns and Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Treated With Prasugrel or Clopidogrel (from the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry SCAAR)
In conclusion, in this real world population of patients who underwent urgent or elective PCI, prasugrel was used mainly in patients with ACS, while it was avoided in patients with characteristics indicating increased bleeding risk. Mortality and bleeding rates were lower with prasugrel than clopidogrel, probably because of patient selection.
