Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Without On-site Cardiac Surgery: It's Trendy, but Is It Right?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "JAMA cardiology"
DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2016.4227
Abstract: Since its introduction almost 40 years ago, the procedural safety of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has improved enormously. In particular, the need for emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has strikingly diminished, although it has… read more here.

Effect of Ischemic Postconditioning During Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "JAMA Cardiology"
DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2017.0022
Abstract: Importance Ischemic postconditioning of the heart during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) induced by repetitive interruptions of blood flow to the ischemic myocardial region immediately after reopening of the infarct-related artery may limit myocardial damage.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2020.5354
Abstract: Importance After disparate results from observational and small randomized studies, the COMPLETE trial demonstrated superiority of multivessel (MV) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over culprit-only PCI for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Objective To describe temporal trends… read more here.

DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2020.18162
Abstract: Key Points Question To what extent is the association of pre–percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) fractional flow reserve (FFR) with clinical outcomes explained by the association of pre-PCI FFR with post-PCI FFR? Findings In this cohort… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ccd.27049
Abstract: Various definitions of post‐PCI MI have been recommended by different professional societies and studies. This present study suggests that the troponin‐based 3rd universal definition of post‐PCI MI has prognostic value for recurrent MI but not… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ccd.28972
Abstract: The PARIS risk score (PARIS‐rs) and percutaneous coronary intervention complexity (PCI‐c) predict clinical and procedural residual ischemic risk following PCI. Their accuracy in patients undergoing unprotected left main (ULM) or bifurcation PCI has not been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ccd.29052
Abstract: Poor outcomes observed in cancer patients who sustain STEMI are due, in part, to advanced age, comorbidities, and underutilization of guidelines‐based therapies. Coronary angiography in the cancer patient is more likely to demonstrate MINOCA, but… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ccd.29400
Abstract: Coronary artery perforation is an uncommon, but potentially devastating, complication of PCI, and is observed most frequently in complex procedures. Clinical outcomes, including periprocedural and long‐term mortality, are markedly worse with increasing degree of perforation.… read more here.
