Bleeding in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Bleeding in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: the development of a clinical risk algorithm from the National Cardiovascular Data Registry.

BACKGROUND Bleeding in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, length of hospitalization, and cost. We identified baseline clinical characteristics associated with bleeding complications after PCI and developed a simplified, clinically useful algorithm to predict patient risk. METHODS AND RESULTS Data were analyzed from 3...

Outcomes of Middle Eastern Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: The Primary Analysis of the First Jordanian PCI Registry

AIM This is a prospective multicenter registry designed to evaluate the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events in Middle Eastern patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). The registry was also designed to determine the predictors of poor outcomes in such patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We enrolled 2426 consecutive patients who underwent PCI at 12 tertiary care centers i...

Effect of Jacobson's relaxation on anxiety in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

Introduction: Anxiety is common in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Some studies have shown that one of the decreasing factors in anxiety is relaxation. Importantly, this study has been done with the aim of investigate the effect of Jacobson's relaxation on anxiety in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Materials and Methods: In this double-blind clini...

Association of ABCB1 Gene Polymorphisms and Clopidogrel Responsiveness in Iranian Patients undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet agent currently used for preventing stent thrombosis. Despite certain clinical benefits of clopidogrel in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), adequate antiplatelet effect has not been obtained in some patients. The present study was designed to investigate the potential association of ABCB1 (ATP-Binding Cassette, Subfamily B, member1) gen...
