Slow-flow phenomenon after elective percutaneous coronary intervention of computed tomography-detected vulnerable coronary lesion
نویسندگان
چکیده
No-reflow or slow-flow phenomenon is one of the serious complications of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in acute myocardial infarction, as well as during elective procedures, and is an independent predictor of myocardial infarction, and in-hospital and long-term mortality. We present a case of an elective PCI of native coronary artery lesion that was assessed to be vulnerable based on coronary computed tomography angiography, complicated with slow-flow phenomenon.

Association of target lesion characteristics evaluated by coronary computed tomography angiography and plaque debris distal embolization during percutaneous coronary intervention.
BACKGROUND The slow-flow or no re-flow phenomenon has been associated with distal embolization, especially of plaque debris, and with unfavorable clinical outcomes. Therefore, we examined the association between the coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) findings of the target lesion and distal embolization during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS AND RESULTS: Consecuti...
متن کاملInappropriate Stent Placement Resulting in a Coronary Slow-Flow: Case Report
A case of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is shown in the elderly patients with an ST-segment myocardial infarction. Stent deployment following the extensive thrombus aspiration resulted in a slow-flow phenomenon. Optical coherence tomography imaging showed a huge thin-capped fibro-atheroma encroaching the landing zone for stent placement. The author discusses possible factors ...

Introdution: Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) remains one of the most complex and unresolved aspects of ischemic heart disease that the impact of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on improvement of intensity of ischemic mitral regurgitation is not well clarified. Patients with coronary artery diseases and ischemic mitral regurgitation have a worse prognosis than the patients with coro...

Background: This study assessed the application value of 64-slice spiral computed tomography angiography (CTA) in a follow-up evaluation of patients receiving coronary stent implantation. Materials and Methods: A total of 468 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at our hospital between January 2013 and October 2016 were selected for this study. Coronary angiography an...
متن کاملThe association between plaque characterization by CT angiography and post-procedural myocardial infarction in patients with elective stent implantation.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate the association between volumetric characterization of target lesions by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography and the risk of post-procedural myocardial injury after elective stent implantation. BACKGROUND Previous reports have shown that plaque characterization of the target lesion may provide useful information for stratifying the ris...
