Early vs. persistent microvascular obstruction following primary PCI- two pathologies or one? A cardiovascular magnetic resonance study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background 20-40% of reperfused ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) features microvascular obstruction (MO), which confers adverse prognosis. Different CMR sequences are commonly used to detect MO: first pass perfusion (FPP), early gadolinium enhancement (EGE), and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). FPP and EGE are more sensitive than LGE for the detection of MO. However, only MO by LGE has been shown to confer prognostic information. It is unclear whether these three

Myocardial Salvage is Reduced in Primary PCI-Treated STEMI Patients with Microvascular Obstruction, Demonstrated by Early and Late CMR
OBJECTIVES This study evaluates the association between microvascular obstruction and myocardial salvage, determined by cardiac magnetic resonance performed both in the acute stage of myocardial infarction and after 4 months. METHODS In patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention, myocardial salvage, infarct size, left ventricul...
متن کاملThrombus aspiration during primary percutaneous coronary intervention is associated with reduced myocardial edema, hemorrhage, microvascular obstruction and left ventricular remodeling
BACKGROUND Thrombus aspiration (TA) has been shown to improve microvascular perfusion during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The objective of our study was to assess the relationship between TA and myocardial edema, myocardial hemorrhage, microvascular obstruction (MVO) and left ventricular remodeling in STEM...
متن کاملCorrelation of serial cardiac magnetic resonance imaging parameters with early resolution of ST-segment elevation after primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to determine whether the parameters of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) might correlate with early ST-segment resolution (STR) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS AND RESULTS CMRI was performed in 45 STEMI patients (age: 56.6+/-13.0 years) at 8.2+/-8.0 days (early pha...
متن کاملPrevalence and extent of infarct and microvascular obstruction following different reperfusion therapies in ST-elevation myocardial infarction
BACKGROUND Microvascular obstruction (MVO) describes suboptimal tissue perfusion despite restoration of infarct-related artery flow. There are scarce data on Infarct Size (IS) and MVO in relation to the mode and timing of reperfusion. We sought to characterise the prevalence and extent of microvascular injury and IS using Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), in relation to the mode of reper...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine whether manual thrombus aspiration reduces microvascular obstruction assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) presenting late after symptom onset. BACKGROUND Thrombus aspiration is an established treatment option in patients with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coron...
