Stent thrombosis in Sweden: a report from the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry.

Stent Thrombosis in Sweden

Background—The objective was to evaluate the role of risk factors and stent type for stent thrombosis (ST) using a large real world registry. Methods and Results—We evaluated all consecutive coronary stent implantations in Sweden from May 1, 2005, to June 30, 2007. All cases of ST, documented in the Swedish coronary angiography and angioplasty registry until September 21, 2008, were analyzed. S...

Correction: Chronic Total Occlusions in Sweden – A Report from the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR)

Impact of Thrombus Aspiration on Mortality, Stent Thrombosis, and Stroke in Patients With ST‐Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Report From the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry

BACKGROUND Thrombus aspiration is still being used in a substantial number of patients despite 2 large randomized clinical trials showing no favorable effect of routine thrombus aspiration during primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. The aim of this observational study was to evaluate the impact of thrombus aspiration on mortalit...

High event rate after a first percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with diabetes mellitus: results from the Swedish coronary angiography and angioplasty registry.

BACKGROUND Patients with diabetes mellitus have reduced longevity after acute coronary syndromes and revascularization. However, knowledge of the long-term complication rates and patterns from an everyday life setting is lacking. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention included in the Swedish Coronary Angiography Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR) betw...

Effect of Stent Inflation Pressure and Post-Dilatation on the Outcome of Coronary Artery Intervention. A Report of More than 90 000 Stent Implantations

BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) stent inflation pressure correlates to angiographic lumen improvement and stent expansion but the relation to outcome is not clarified. Using comprehensive registry data our aim was to evaluate how stent inflation pressure influences restenosis, stent thrombosis and death following PCI. METHODS We evaluated all consecutive coronary stent imp...
