Aspirin for unstable angina?

Aspirin desensitization/challenge in 3 patients with unstable angina.

Aspirin sensitivity is relatively frequent and can be a major problem in patients who need percutaneous coronary intervention and stenting with subsequent dual antiplatelet therapy. Desensitization is often the therapy in these patients, but this can prolong the time to revascularization significantly. Rapid oral aspirin desensitization protocols have been described since 2000. However, data ar...

UNSTABLE ANGINA Coronary angioplasty for early postinfarction unstable angina

Coronary angioplasty was performed in 53 patients in whom unstable angina had reoccurred after 48 hr and within 30 days after sustained myocardial infarction. Single-vessel disease was present in 64% of the patients and multivessel disease in 36%. The preceding myocardial infarction had been small to moderate in size in the majority of the patients. The left ventricular ejection fraction was mo...

Unstable angina.

Unstable angina has only been recognized as a distinct entity for about 50 years. The term is used to describe a symptom complex that is neither stable angina pectoris nor acute myocardial infarction. There are a number of other terms used to describe essentially the same symptom complex; these include pre-infarction angina, crescendo angina, intermediate coronary syndrome and threatening infar...

Unstable Angina

Identification of a characteristic morphology of a coronary stenosis likely to result in myocardial infarction would facilitate the prospective evaluation of infarct prevention strategies and identification of high-risk patients. We postulated that coronary lesions associated with recent myocardial infarction or unstable angina would have an angiographic morphology suggesting disruption of an a...
