Paclitaxel-eluting stents in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the result of the abrupt occlusion of an epicardial coronary artery. Timely performance of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become the treatment of choice in affected patients. Mechanical reperfusion with implantation of drug-eluting stents (DES) has been associated with improved safety and efficacy compared with balloon ...
متن کاملUse of drug eluting stents in ST segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Methods We retrospectively analyzed 812 consecutive patients treated with DES implantation for STEMI. Intracoronary thrombus burden was angiographically estimated and categorized as large thrombus burden (LTB), defined as thrombus burden 2 vessel diameters, and small thrombus burden (STB) to predict clinical outcomes. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were defined as death, repeat myocardial ...
متن کاملDiabetics and drug-eluting stents in ST segment elevation myocardial infarction: confidence in numbers.
See article on pageS 354-64 Diabetes mellitus affects over 15 million adults in the United States and more than 180 million patients globally, including 25%-30% of all patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Diabetic compared to non diabetic patients following PCI are at increased risk of death, myocardial infarction (MI), and stent thrombosis, 4-6 and the presence of diab...
متن کاملOutcomes of drug-eluting stents compared to bare-metal stents in ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction.
INTRODUCTION Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) has become the treatment of choice in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Drug-eluting stents (DES) reduce restenosis compared to bare-metal stents (BMS) but there is conflicting data concerning their use in the setting of STEMI. We aimed to evaluate the influence of the type of stent on the outcomes of...
متن کاملComparison of drug-eluting stents with bare metal stents in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
AIMS To evaluate safety and effectiveness of early generation drug-eluting stents (DES) compared with bare-metal stents (BMS) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and to determine whether benefits and risks vary over time. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a meta-analysis of 15 randomized controlled tri...
