Percutaneous coronary intervention versus conservative therapy in nonacute coronary artery disease: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been shown to improve symptoms compared with conservative medical treatment in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD); however, there is limited evidence on the effect of PCI on the risk of death, myocardial infarction, and subsequent revascularization. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis of 11 randomized trials comparing P...
متن کاملPercutaneous coronary intervention versus medical therapy in stable coronary artery disease: the unresolved conundrum.

متن کاملYoung coronary artery disease in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Understanding the nature and pattern of young coronary artery disease (CAD) is important due to the tremendous impact on these patients' socio-economic and physical aspect. Data on young CAD in the southeast Asian region is rather patchy and limited. Hence we utilized our National Cardiovascular Disease Database (NCVD)-Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) Registry ...
متن کاملPercutaneous coronary intervention in unprotected left main coronary artery disease.
Percutaneous coronary intervention for unprotected left main coronary artery disease is potentially an important intervention in surgically unstable patients. A detailed review of medical record and visual analysis of coronary angiography and PCI procedure was undertaken. The study was conducted at the Aga Khan University Hospital, from January 2003 to December 2007. Patients included in the st...
