Early Initiation of Evolocumab Treatment in Chinese Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the early initiation of evolocumab in Chinese patients with ACS undergoing PCI.METHODS: This retrospective cohort study involved 1564 consecutive patients who had been hospitalized with ACS and underwent PCI, and who had elevated LDL-C levels (≥1.8 mmol/L after receiving high-intensity statin therapy for ≥4 weeks; ≥2.3 mmol/L after receiving low- or moderate-intensity statin; or ≥3.2 mmol/L without statin therapy). Patients who received evolocumab (initiated in-hospital and after 18 months) were included in the evolocumab group (n = 414), and all other patient...

Effect of high dose statin preloading on TIMI flow in patients presenting with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
ConclusionHigh intensity statin loading before primary PCI resulted in improved post-procedural TIMI flow, MBG, complete ST-segment resolution and ejection fraction as measured by M-mode but did not decrease incidence of in-hospital MACE.

Predictive models for adverse clinical outcomes in Chinese patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting
CONCLUSION: Chinese patients with AF and coronary stenting had high mortality and incidence of MACCE. We compiled separate predictive models for all-cause death, IS/STE, MACCE, and major bleeding.PMID:34353224 | DOI:10.1080/00015385.2021.1950367

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Very Small Vessels With the Use of a Newer-Generation 2.0 mm Drug-Eluting Stent
CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that the use of the Onyx 2.0 mm DES to treat CAD in very small vessels (<2.25 mm) is feasible and safe, and the clinical outcomes were similar to those of the Onyx 2.25 mm group.PMID:34224385
