background: this study sought to access differences in long-term (9 months) outcomes between acute coronary syndrome (acs) patients who undergo early intervention compared to percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) in stable and refractory conditions. methods: data originated from tehran heart center registry- interventional cardiology (thcr-ic) and consisted of 1267 patients divided into two ...

the important role of reperfusion therapies in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction is well documented. however, reperfusion therapies can initiate inflammatory response and may damage the myocardium. the purpose of current study was to compare the effects of percutaneous coronary intervention and thrombolytic therapy on inflammatory markers in the setting of st elevation myocardial inf...

The coronary "accordion" effect is a rare pseudo-complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It is usually observed due to straightening and shortening of tortuous vessels with stiff guidewires during PCI. In this case report, we present an interesting case of the coronary accordion effect observed in a 52-year-old woman undergoing PCI.

Aortocoronary dissection is an infrequent yet potentially lethal complication of coronary angiography or percutaneous intervention (PCI). Treatment strategies include conservative management, stent implantation, and surgical intervention. We herein report a case iatrogenic aortocoronary during PCI the right artery successfully treated by management. Conservative treatment may be potential alter...

Over the last 35 years, there has been dramatic progress in the technology and applicability of percutaneous techniques to treat obstructive coronary heart disease. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has a considerable evidence base and it is firmly established as the most common procedure used in the invasive treatment of patients with coronary heart disease in the UK. This set of guidel...

Myocardial bridge (MB) is a congenital variation of the coronary arteries and the segment of the coronary artery through myocardium is compressed during systole. Although it is relatively asymptomatic, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may be necessary to relieve symptoms. Perforation or frank rupture of coronary arteries occurs rarely in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interve...

This study aims to apply the identification of left and right oblique modifications reduce back pain after percutaneous coronary intervention based on results Evidence-Based Practice Nursing (EBPN) research. The research method used is a case study. in this innovative design by applying identifying post-percutaneous intervention. showed that adjusting correct diagonal positions was carried out ...

The no reflow phenomenon is a feared complication in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) procedures including elective as well primary PCI (Percutaneous Intervention), and results worse prognosis. A number of etiological factors are involved pathogenesis phenomenon. These include distal athero embolization, ischemic reperfusion injury, microvascular spasm endothelial dysfunction. treatment...

background: significant elevation of cardiac biomarkers after percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) is associated with increased mortality. however, clinical importance of lesser degrees of cardiac enzyme elevation has not been well understood. multiple factors might have an etiologic role, and the incidence of myonecrosis has not changed dramatically despite pharmacological and technologica...

Background:Diabetic patients with Non ST Elevated Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) are at high risk for subsequent cardiovascular events. But, early Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in group of NSTEMI significantly prove the primary outcomes.
