Conclusions Treatment of SVG lesions with DES vs. BMS is effective in reducing TVR at 9 months, although most of this advantage is lost at 2 years. The DES seem safe with less death or myocardial infarction, although selection bias might have affected these results. Our data suggest that DES might have short-term advantages over BMS in SVG lesions with diameter <3.5 mm. (Source: Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Interventions)

Mechanism and Predictors of Failed Transradial Approach for Percutaneous Coronary InterventionsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Transradial approach PCI can be performed by low-to-intermediate volume operators with standard equipment with a low failure rate. Age >75 years, prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and short stature are independent predictors of TR-PCI failure. Appropriate patient selection and careful risk assessment are needed to maximize benefits offered by TR-PCI. (Source: Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Interventions)

A Randomized Comparison of Transradial Versus Transfemoral Approach for Coronary Angiography and AngioplastyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions The findings of the present study show that transradial coronary angiography and angioplasty are safe, feasible, and effective with similar results to those of the transfemoral approach. However, procedural duration and radiation exposure are higher using the transradial access. In contrast to the transfemoral route, the rate of major vascular complications was negligible using the transradial approach.

Intracoronary Optical Coherence Tomography: A Comprehensive Review: Clinical and Research ApplicationsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Cardiovascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a catheter-based invasive imaging system. Using light rather than ultrasound, OCT produces high-resolution in vivo images of coronary arteries and deployed stents. This comprehensive review will assist practicing interventional cardiologists in understanding the technical aspects of OCT based upon the physics of light and will also highlight the emerging research and clinical applications of OCT. Semi-automated imaging analyses of OCT systems permit accurate measurements of luminal architecture and provide insights regarding stent apposition, overlap, neointimal thickeni...

However, it fails to address the escalating threat of medical liability, the lack of patient accountability, and the absence of outcome measures in health care delivery that may jeopardize the cost and quality of accessible medical care.

Conclusions NSTEMI patients presenting to No-OHS hospitals have significantly higher mortality.

Conclusions There was no significant difference in complete STR at 60 min in this proof-of-concept study. However, we observed a significant difference in immediate complete STR in Proxis-treated patients, better STR at later time points, and a reduction of electrocardiogram injury current over time, compared with control patients. The results suggest that primary PCI with the Proxis system may lead to better immediate microvascular flow in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients.

Conclusions Few patients fit the target population, long delays to PCI for whom facilitated PCI was designed. Patients treated early after pain onset in the PreH setting do well after a facilitated approach. Despite limitations of post hoc subgroup analysis, these observations suggest caution in extrapolating the results of the ASSENT-4 trial to the "real world" where many patients might have potentially short pain-to-fibrinolysis time but are facing a long transport time to primary PCI.

Benefit of Facilitated Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in High-Risk ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients Presenting to Nonpercutaneous Coronary Intervention HospitalsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Facilitation of PCI with a combination of abciximab and half-dose reteplase improved survival at 1 year in high-risk patients presenting to a spoke hospital with symptom-to-randomization time ≤4 h. Further prospective study of facilitated PCI in this subgroup of patients is warranted. (Source: Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Interventions)

1-Year Survival in a Randomized Trial of Facilitated Reperfusion: Results From the FINESSE (Facilitated Intervention With Enhanced Reperfusion Speed to Stop Events) TrialEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions These results suggest that widespread utilization of the facilitated approaches tested cannot be justified, but that high-risk patient groups such as patients with anterior MI may deserve further study.

Systems of Care for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Impact of Different Models on Clinical OutcomesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is one of the greatest medical emergencies, for which organization of care has a determinant impact on patient outcomes. The purpose of this paper is to review systems of care for STEMI patients. Although primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the preferred option for patients with STEMI, offering easy and emergent access to this procedure often remains difficult because of geographic and diverse structural difficulties. intravenous fibrinolysis, especially when administered early after symptom onset and as part of a pharmacoinvasive strategy (i.e., followed b...
