A multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted to determine if corticosteroids influence the development of restenosis after successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Either placebo or 1.0 g methylprednisolone (steroid) was infused intravenously 2-24 hours before planned PTCA in 915 patients. The PTCA patient success rate was 87% (mean) in the eight ...

Aim. To study the safety and efficacy of Angipure in acute ST-segment elevation coronary syndrome (STE-ACS) high-risk percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTCA) compared with eptifibatide. Material methods . The included 157 patients STE-ACS. High-risk PTCA massive or total artery thrombosis, noreflow/slow-reflow phenomenon, stent thrombosis. Fifty-five people received at a dose 0,72 mg/kg, 5...

BACKGROUND To study the impact of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) on coronary vasomotion, we prospectively analyzed spontaneous changes in coronary diameter and the response to the cold pressor test and intracoronary nitroglycerin in 11 patients subjected to successful single-vessel PTCA. METHODS AND RESULTS All antianginal medications were stopped 48 hours before each s...

Despite excellent immediate clinical results and anatomic improvement of critical coronary artery stenosis, functional abnormalities have been noted to persist for several days or weeks after successful percutaneous transluminal coronary artery balloon angioplasty (PTCA) (1–13). Even without eventual angiographic restenosis, persistent abnormalities of wall motion (1,2), myocardial perfusion (3...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of intracoronary dipyridamole on the incidence of abrupt vessel closure, myocardial infarction, necessity for bypass grafting, and death following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). PATIENTS Patients were randomly allocated to receive either conventional pretreatment (heparin 15 000 IU and aspirin 500 mg intravenously) or additional int...

INTRODUCTION We studied the value of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) for the evaluation of improvement in myocardial perfusion in patients with successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). METHODS Sixty patients (10 women, 50 men) aged 54.18 +/- 11.71 years were analyzed. MPI was performed before PTCA, 6-10 days (16 cases), 1-3 months (21 cases), and then 3-6 months (2...

Coronary angiography is considered to be the gold standard technique for assessing the severity of obstructive luminal narrowing; however, in a few circumstances it may be misleading. In these cases, cardiac computed tomography (CT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) may help to give a correct interpretation.In this report, we describe the case of a 62-year-old man whose effort angina was firs...

BACKGROUND Coronary stents are widely used in interventional cardiology, but a current quantitative systematic overview comparing routine coronary stenting with standard percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and restricted stenting (provisional stenting) has not been published. PURPOSE To summarize results from all randomized clinical trials comparing routine coronary stenting...

background and purpose: ischemic heart diseases (ihd) is getting as the most common and the main causes of heart diseases and mortalities worldwide affecting the quality of life (qol) of the patients. this study was conducted to determine the qol for the patients with ihd referring to medical centers of kashan in 2007. methods: this cross-sectional study was performed on all patients (n =500) r...
