The use of modern interventional cardiology tools to verify lesion significance and optimize procedural outcome in a diabetic patient with multivessel disease

چکیده
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery has been the preferred revascularization technique for multivessel coronary artery disease, particularly in patients with diabetes mellitus [1–4]. However, with the rapid progress in the field of interventional cardiology, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been widely used as a less invasive approach to CABG surgery, with encouraging results. Here we present the case of a patient with multivessel coronary artery disease who was managed by PCI using modern interventional tools to improve on diagnostic angiographic data and optimize the procedural result.

Interventional Strategies for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction and Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease.
Many patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) (1,2), yet interventional cardiologists can almost always identify a single lesion responsible for the infarction. After successful percutaneous coronary intervention of the infarct-related lesion (culprit PCI), there are 2 competing strategies available for STEMI patients with m...

There have been substantial improvements made in the tools and techniques used since the advent of percutaneous coronary intervention. What was primarily developed as a treatment of coronary artery disease is now used to address a variety of structural heart disease problems. The outcomes have been remarkably successful with relatively low complication rates that rival the results of open-heart...

OBJECTIVES The present study evaluated clinical outcomes in diabetic patients after multivessel stenting. BACKGROUND Multivessel angioplasty studies have reported decreased survival in diabetic patients undergoing conventional balloon angioplasty compared with coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). However, several studies have demonstrated excellent procedural success and acceptable cl...

Background: The number of interventional cardiology (IC) procedures has increased rapidly. coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) are now widely performed as a matter of routine, and they are considered safe procedures for experienced cardiologists. However, it is also known that these procedures are associated with high radiation doses due to long f...
