Recent trials and meta-analysis have indicated that complete revascularization (CR) of multivessel coronary disease is beneficial in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) compared to culprit-only intervention. However, the…
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with worse outcomes. We assessed the impact of CKD on guideline directed coronary revascularization and outcomes among…
This study aimed to investigate the impact of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) on Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] associated cardiovascular risk in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) underwent percutaneous coronary intervention…
There are limited contemporary data on the management and outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with concomitant acute respiratory infections. Hence, using the National Inpatient Sample from 2000-2017,…
Abstract The high take-off of the coronary artery is rarely encountered in the catheterization laboratory. But the origin of a single coronary artery with high take-off makes it even more…
Abstract A 69-year-old male patient with a history of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) underwent another PCI to the stenosis of the…
Abstract A pivotal trial indicated that an initial invasive strategy did not improve the clinical outcomes in patients with moderate or severe ischemic heart disease and advanced chronic kidney disease…
Abstract A 33-year-old pregnant woman with a history of a giant coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) of the right coronary artery owing to Kawasaki disease (KD) was referred to our hospital…
Abstract Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome. Treatment for SCAD includes conservative approaches, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and coronary artery bypass graft surgery….
Abstract Situs inversus totalis with dextrocardia is a rare congenital occurrence. Risk of coronary atherosclerosis and acute myocardial infarction in this subset is similar to that in the general population….
