Dynamic changes in purine catabolism in patients with acute coronary syndrome that underwent percutaneous coronary intervention
Background: Cardiovascular diseases are global problems. They are causes of death in about 43% of people worldwide and may become the most widespread reason of death by 2020. The prognosis is directly dependent to immediate diagnosis and on time treatment. Introduction of new biochemical markers as the early diagnosis of complications after coronary revascularization is very important in this p...
متن کاملFacilitated percutaneous coronary intervention.
M ultiple, large randomised trials comparing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with fibrinolytic therapy for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have shown that primary PCI results in lower rates of death, reinfarction, and stroke. Consequently, primary PCI has become the preferred reperfusion strategy for STEMI. Unfortunately, primary PCI is available in only a minority o...
متن کاملBivalirudin in percutaneous coronary intervention
Bivalirudin is a member of the direct thrombin inhibitor group of anticoagulants. It has been evaluated as an alternative to unfractionated and low-molecular-weight heparins in the settings of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Results of clinical trials to date suggest bivalirudin is a viable alternative to the use of a heparin combined with a glycoprot...
متن کاملAnticoagulation in percutaneous coronary intervention
Balancing safety and efficacy of anticoagulation strategies is a fundamental goal in the performance of percutaneous coronary interventions. The ideal anticoagulant in the catheterization laboratory should effectively prevent thrombosis, yield a low bleeding risk, be titratable to individual clinical needs, be reversible when clinically indicated and be administered without the need for complic...
متن کاملCoronary CT angiography in percutaneous coronary intervention
Technical advances have enabled multidetector CT to become the non-invasive modality of choice for coronary imaging. Recent clinical literature has supported the power of CCTA using 64-slice multidector CT scanners in the detection and ruling out of significant (> 50%) coronary artery disease, with an average negative predictive value of 98% on a per-patient basis [6-8]. With the capability of ...
