Acute Stent Thrombosis After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Acute stent thrombosis after primary percutaneous coronary intervention: insights from the EUROMAX trial (European Ambulance Acute Coronary Syndrome Angiography).

OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine clinical, procedural, and treatment factors associated with acute stent thrombosis (AST) in the EUROMAX (European Ambulance Acute Coronary Syndrome Angiography) trial. BACKGROUND Bivalirudin started during transport for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction significantly reduced major bleeding ...

Early Stent Thrombosis and Mortality After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in ST-Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Early ST within 30 days after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST-segment– elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a serious complication, resulting in increased mortality. Three of 4 randomized trials have demonstrated an increased risk of acute (≤24 hours) ST with bivalirudin compared with heparin with either routine or provisional glycoprotein IIb/IIIa rec...

Stent Thrombosis after Rescue Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

MAIN PROBLEM To determine the incidence of coronary stent thrombosis (ST) in patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after rescue percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS An observational study looking at the incidence of ST in a middle-eastern population. A total of 510 consecutive patients presented with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STE...
