This article examines the initial results of the authorÔÇÖs experience to date with percutaneous left ventricular assist (LVA) support of patients in cardiogenic shock, and for temporary left heart support in the setting of high-risk percutaneous intervention. Despite evolving procedural methods, 16 of 18 patients in this study survived to hospital discharge. Intraprocedural complications were… View more

The introduction of percutaneous coronary angioplasty in 1977 by Dr Andreas Grüntzig1 was one of the most remarkable achievements in the cardiology realm, opening the door to numerous advancements in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). Due to advances in PCI techniques over the past four decades, catheters along with four generations of coronary stents have dramatically changed the… View more

The Role of Hemodynamic Support in High-risk Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Author(s): Charles Simonton , Craig Thompson , Jason R Wollmuth , et al Added: 3 years ago
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, despite advances in medical and preventive therapy. It is estimated that 18.2 million adults in the US have CAD, with 720,000 Americans projected to have a first hospitalization for MI or CAD death this year.1 Treatment of patients with symptomatic CAD includes guideline-directed medical therapy and coronary… View more

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Chronic Total Occlusion
Author(s): Giovanni Maria Vescovo , Carlo Zivelonghi , Benjamin Scott , et al Added: 3 years ago
Coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO), defined as complete occlusion of a coronary artery for at least 3 months with thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) grade 0 flow, represents one of the most complex situations in the field of interventional cardiology.1 Despite an incidence of CTO in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing coronary angiography of 18–46%, the… View more

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

Type and Duration of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Complex Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Author(s): Dimitrios Alexopoulos , Charalampos Varlamos , Despoina-Rafailia Benetou Added: 3 years ago
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
