Stenting in Acute STEMI Intervention.
Stenting in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has the benefits of achieving acute optimal angiographic results and correcting residual dissection to decrease the incidence of restenosis and reocclusion. Studies have shown that percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty for primary treatment after AMI is superior to thrombolytic therapy regarding the restoration of normal coronary blood flow...
متن کاملStenting of unprotected left main coronary artery stenoses: immediate and late outcomes.
OBJECTIVES We examined the immediate and long-term outcomes after stenting of unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) stenoses in patients with normal left ventricular (LV) function. BACKGROUND Left main coronary artery disease is regarded as an absolute contraindication for coronary angioplasty. Recently, several reports on protected or unprotected LMCA stenting, or both, suggested the ...

متن کاملPre-drug-eluting stent debulking of bifurcated coronary lesions.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of plaque debulking by directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) before drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation for bifurcated coronary lesions. BACKGROUND The introduction of DES significantly reduces restenosis and repeated revascularization. However, percutaneous coronary intervention of bifurcated lesions using DES alone remains...
