Platelet membrane activation markers are predictive for increased risk of acute ischemic events after PTCA.
BACKGROUND We wished to investigate whether platelet activation is related to the clinical outcome during the 24 hours immediately after elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). METHODS AND RESULTS In 102 patients with high-grade coronary stenosis admitted for elective PTCA, preprocedural platelet activation was characterized by flow cytometric measurement of the protei...
متن کاملEnhancement of platelet inhibition of ticlopidine plus aspirin vs aspirin alone given prior to elective PTCA.
BACKGROUND In many patients today, elective percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty is followed by implantation of coronary stents to achieve optimal results. The current medical strategy to prevent early reocclusion is the inhibition of platelet aggregation by administration of ticlopidine, in addition to aspirin, immediately after the procedure. In order to inhibit platelet aggregation...
متن کاملMean platelet volume on admission is associated with further left ventricular functions in primary PTCA patients.
AIM In ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients, mean platelet volume (MPV) is associated with infarct related artery patency both before and after reperfusion. In anterior STEMI patients successfully treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the relationship between left ventricular (LV) function and MPV on admission is unknown. METHODS 97 anterior STEMI patie...
متن کاملTransluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)
Forty–six patients (21 with stable angina and 25 with chronic myocardial infarction, 37 men) with a total chronic proximal coronary occlusion and collateral vessels to the distal part of the occluded artery (30 LAD, 10 RCA and 6 CX properly distributed in both groups) were studied angiographically before and 2 to 8 months (mean 6) after balloon angioplasty. The patients were divided in six subg...
متن کاملReview of Hardware for PTCA
There is a growing inventory of dilatation hardware at the disposal of the interventional cardiologist. The purpose of this review is to compare the distinguishing features of current and anticiputed equipment which should be considered in the selection of hardware for performing corona y angioplasty (PTCA). New guiding catheters designed to improve “back-up” support for di#icult anatomic varia...
