Transradial angioplasty for ST-elevation myocardial infarction
Use of the radial artery as the access site for cardiac interventions has been increasing over the last decade. With this, its application to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has also become more common and continues to rise, with increasing interest across Europe and more recently the USA. The most obvious benefits of this approach...
متن کاملAngioplasty strategies in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction: part I: primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of mortality in most developed nations; 838 000 inhospital discharges in the United States in 2005 were for acute myocardial infarction, 29% to 47% of which were acute ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).1 The case fatality rate of STEMI has fallen dramatically in the last 3 decades, in part because of the widespread use of reperfus...
متن کاملPost Fibrinolytic Strategies in St Elevation Myocardial Infarction
It has been proved beyond doubt that in close to 85% of patients, the cause of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is an occluding thrombus. Such an occluding thrombus is composed of fibrin, platelets and thrombin. For well over 25 years, fibrinolytics have become an important and useful part of treatment by lysing the fibrin in the clot, restoring a brisk TIMI 3 blood flow in 60% of pat...
متن کاملAngioplasty for Acute Myocardial Infarction
This study evaluated whether an exercise treadmill test could predict restenosis in 289 patients 6 months after a successful emergency angioplasty of the infarct-related artery for acute myocardial infarction. After excluding those with interim interventions (64), medical events (36), or medical contraindications to follow-up testing (25), both a treadmill test and a cardiac catheterization wer...
متن کاملAcute reperfusion strategies for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
The overall aim of reperfusion therapy for patients presenting with an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is to restore normal blood flow in the infarct-related artery as rapidly and completely as possible, and thus myocardial perfusion. This can be achieved by the administration of thrombolytic therapy (either pre-hospital or in hospital) or by primary percutaneous coronary int...
