Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Clinical Syndromes Stable Angina The primary benefit of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over medical therapy in patients with stable angina is the improved quality of life. The PCI in stable angina (ORBITA) trial was the first sham-controlled trial of PCI where 200 medically optimized patients with single vessel disease were randomized to PCI or… View more

The use of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery revascularization has grown considerably since the first balloon angioplasty in 1977. Improvements in equipment and drug therapies plus the development of coronary artery stents have all contributed to the growth of PCI as an alternative to surgical revascularization. Compared with the early days of balloon angioplasty, when… View more

Complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) usually refers to procedures that include bifurcation with two stents implanted, the treatment of three or more lesions, the implantation of three or more stents, total stent length >60 mm, or a chronic total occlusion (CTO).1 However, as there is no universal definition, other features, such as left main (LM) or proximal left anterior… View more

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in the actual essence of the term refers to renal damage induced by a contrast medium. The ultimate clinical manifestation of CIN is renal failure requiring dialysis, and this article will concentrate on CIN as a clinical outcome. However, transient rises in serum creatinine have been frequently used as a surrogate marker that is suggested to predict renal… View more

Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) consisting of aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor is prescribed in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. An important misconception remains that DAPT should be prescribed to prevent stent thrombosis. Although this may seem obvious, it should be emphasized that the… View more

“When you fail to prepare, you’re preparing to fail.” – Coach John Wooden Ongoing technological and procedural innovations increasingly permit the safe and effective performance of ever more high-risk and complex percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in the modern cardiac catheterization laboratory. Anatomic characteristics of higher risk include unprotected distal left main stenosis,… View more
