Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: The Deception of Delay⁎
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become the predominant reperfusion strategy for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) throughout western healthcare systems. Recent estimates in the United States suggest that primary PCI is used in 85% of all STEMI cases that undergo reperfusion, with thrombolytic agents used in only 9% and the combination of thrombolytic agents with PCI in 6% (). This dramatic switch from thrombolytic therapy to primary PCI was the result of several studies conducted in the early 1990s that demonstrated the superiority of primary PCI at reducing stroke and reinfarction as ...

Thrombus Aspiration in ThrOmbus containing culpRiT lesions in Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (TATORT-NSTEMI): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Background: Current guidelines recommend thrombus aspiration in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI); however, there are insufficient data to unequivocally support thrombectomy in patients with non-STEMI (NSTEMI). Methods: The TATORT-NSTEMI (Thrombus Aspiration in ThrOmbus containing culpRiT lesions in Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction) trial is a prospective, controlled, multicenter, randomized, open-label trial enrolling 460 patients. The hypothesis is that, against a background of early revascularization, adjunctive thrombectomy leads to less microvascular obstruction (MO) compared with conventi...

Comparison of early and late clinical outcomes in patients >= 80 versus
Conclusion: Age is an independent predictor of mortality after p-PCI for STEMI. Although it seems to improve early outcomes, the efficacy of p-PCI at long-term follow-up is limited in elderly patients. PMID: 23760119 [PubMed - in process]

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.

Remote Ischemic Preconditioning Improves Outcome at 6 Years After Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: The CRISP Stent Trial Long-term Follow-up Coronary Interventions
Conclusions— Remote ischemic preconditioning reduces the incidence of postprocedural cardiac troponin I after elective PCI and confers an MACCE-free survival benefit at both short- and long-term follow-up. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.ukcrn.org.uk. Unique identifier: UKCRN 4074

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...

Impact of Obstructive Sleep Apnea on Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients Treated With Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Rationale and Design of the Sleep and Stent Study
ABSTRACT Elucidating the effects of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on cardiovascular outcomes is crucial in risk assessments and therapeutic recommendations for affected individuals. The Sleep and Stent Study is a multicenter observational study investigating the relationships between OSA and cardiovascular outcomes in patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Eight centers in 5 countries (Singapore, China and Hong Kong, India, Myanmar, and Brazil) are participating in the study, and the recruitment target is 1600 patients. Adult patients age 18 to 80 years who have undergone successful PCI are eligibl...

Prognosis of elderly patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention in 2001 to 2011: A report from the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR) registry
Conclusions: The prognosis of patients older than 80 years treated with primary PCI for STEMI was relatively unchanged during the 10-year inclusion period, despite changes in patient characteristics and treatment. Advanced age increased the risk of adverse events, but survivors of the early phase after PCI had a slightly improved prognosis compared with the general population.

Prognostic implication of obstructive sleep apnea diagnosed by post-discharge sleep study in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome
Conclusion: OSA diagnosed in patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention for ACS by post-discharge sleep studies conducted 2weeks after percutaneous coronary intervention was independently associated with MACCEs at 24-month follow-up.

Abstract 110: Long-Term Health Status Outcomes in Young Women with Acute Myocardial Infarction: Results from the VIRGO Study Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: Compared with men, young women are more likely to have "poor" health status outcomes after AMI. This information is critically important in developing targets for gender-specific interventions to improve young women’s recovery post AMI.

The prevalence and outcomes of transradial percutaneous coronary intervention for acute coronary syndrome. Analysis from the single-centre ISACS-TC Registry (International Survey of Acute Coronary Syndrome in Transitional Countries) (2010-12)
The aims were to compare the prevalence and short-term outcomes of transradial (TRA) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in dedicated radial centre. This was a single-centre observational study of 3484 consecutively enrolled patients with ACS in a 3-year period (2010–12). There were 1648 patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and 1836 with non-ST-elevation ACS (NSTEACS). All patients underwent diagnostic coronary angiography within 24 h (STEMI) or within 72 h (NSTEACS). Percutaneous coronary intervention was performed in 84.9% patients (96.6% with STEMI and 74....

Particularities in coronary revascularization in elderly patients presenting with ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI)

Current guidelines recommend an immediate invasive evaluation and eventually primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in all STEMI patients regardless of age. Nevertheless, data in literature show a significant underuse of interventional treatm...
