Coronary collateral circulation behaviour and myocardial viability in chronic total occlusion treated with coronary angioplasty.
AIMS We explored the role of microcirculation integrity following the chronic occlusion of an infarct-related artery to assess the behaviour of collateral circulation during and after reperfusion by coronary angioplasty METHODS AND RESULTS Eighteen patients with a proximally occluded left anterior descending artery and firm evidence of intercoronary collateral circulation were studied with se...
متن کاملClinical implications of late proven patency after successful coronary angioplasty.
BACKGROUND The introduction of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has changed the pattern of intervention in coronary artery disease. However, the long-term results in patients undergoing successful, elective, native-vessel PTCA are not yet fully characterized. Because the healing and subsequent proliferative response after angioplasty are time related, it was the purpose of ...
متن کاملCoronary aneurysm formation after primary coronary angioplasty.
We describe the case of a man who underwent primary angioplasty with stenting for acute myocardial infarction and subsequently developed a coronary artery aneurysm at the site of stent deployment. The aneurysm grew rapidly in size over a few weeks and required treatment with a covered stent. The use of intravascular ultrasound equipped with special software for colour blood flow imaging contrib...
متن کاملCoronary recanalisation, myocardial viability, and ventricular remodelling after infarction.
It is important to identify the mechanisms that determine the progression to left ventricular remodelling after an acute myocardial infarction, in order that patients can be treated before the development of overt heart failure.
متن کاملAssessment of myocardial viability using coronary zero flow pressure after successful angioplasty in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVES To investigate the relation between coronary flow reserve (CFR), coronary zero flow pressure (Pzf), and residual myocardial viability in patients with acute myocardial infarction. DESIGNS Prospective study. SETTING Primary care hospital. PATIENTS 27 consecutive patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emissi...
