Myocardial Perfusion SPECT Imaging in Patients after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most prevalent form of cardiovascular disease affecting about 13 million Americans, while more than one million percutaneous transluminal intervention (PCI) procedures are performed annually in the USA. The relative high occurrence of restenosis, despite stent implementation, seems to be the primary limitation of PCI. Over the last decades, single photon emi...
متن کاملDetermination of culprit lesion in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention by myocardial perfusion imaging.
UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to determine and localize culprit lesion by myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in cases of angiographically detected coronary narrowing >or= 75% of at least one coronary artery. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred and thirty-two (132) patients with angiographically detected significant coronary narrowing (>or= 75% luminal stenosis of at least one major corona...
متن کاملMyocardial Perfusion Imaging in Diagnosis of Culprit Lesion in Patients Undergoing Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) was developed in the 1970s and has been used increasingly in clinical cardiology since the 1980s (Underwood et al., 2004). Technical developments that have fuelled this recent increases are single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging, pharmacological stress and ECG-gated SPECT imaging. MPI comprises the only widely available method of assessing ...
متن کاملThe value of myocardial perfusion imaging with Tc-99m MIBI for the prediction of perfusion improvement after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
Introduction: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is an effective method for revascularizing of stenotic coronary vessels. Lack of response to this treatment, either in symptomatic or asymptomatic patients, is usually due to incomplete revascularization, restenosis, and/or irreversibility of myocardial perfusion. Introduction of a noninvasive metho...
متن کاملDistal Myocardial Protection During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
The discrepancy between angiographic success and microvascular perfusion has been recognized for some time. In the face of an open artery, the degree of microvascular perfusion determines post-infarct prognosis. Despite successful epicardial recanalization, tissue perfusion may be absent in up to 25% patients with acute myocardial infarction. Historically associated with saphenous vein graft in...
