Troponin I elevation and all-cause mortality after elective percutaneous coronary interventions

Nov 13, 2017 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Troponin I elevation and all-cause mortality after elective percutaneous coronary interventions

Abstract Background/purpose Although troponin I (TnI) elevation and myocardial injury after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) are frequent findings, their prognoses remain controversial. We aimed to determine the association between any…

Variation in emergency percutaneous coronary intervention in ventilated patients in the UK: Insights from a national database

Nov 13, 2017 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Variation in emergency percutaneous coronary intervention in ventilated patients in the UK: Insights from a national database

Abstract Aims Pre-procedural ventilation is a marker of high risk in PCI patients. Causes include out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and cardiogenic shock. OHCA occurs in approximately 60,000 patients in the…

Evaluation of coronary flow conditions in complex coronary artery bifurcations stenting using computational fluid dynamics: Impact of final proximal optimization technique on different double-stent techniques

Nov 13, 2017 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Evaluation of coronary flow conditions in complex coronary artery bifurcations stenting using computational fluid dynamics: Impact of final proximal optimization technique on different double-stent techniques

Abstract Background/Purpose Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have been recently adopted in many fields of cardiovascular medicine and in interventional cardiology. Using CFD analysis we compared the use of different PCI…
