This study is aimed at evaluating 1-year clinical outcomes and their predictors in patients with unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA)-related acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In total 248 patients diagnosed…
Routine angiographic follow-up after bare-metal stent implantation has been associated with an increase in coronary revascularization. The impact of angiographic follow-up after drug-eluting stent placement remains poorly characterized. The prospective,…
It is well established that myocardial infarction (MI) associated with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) predicts a poor outcome. Nevertheless, cardioprotective therapies to limit myocardial injury after CABG are lacking….
The purpose of our study was to evaluate the use of bleeding-avoidance strategies (BAS) and risk-adjusted bleeding over time in patients ≥80 years of age undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention…
Uninterrupted oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy can be the preferred strategy in patients with atrial fibrillation at moderate to high risk of thromboembolism undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). To evaluate the…
We sought to compare the diagnostic accuracy and feasibility of coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) measurement using transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTDE) and 320-row multidetector computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTCA) for…
In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation, the available evidence from clinical trial data are inconclusive. We evaluated the safety and efficacy…
