Heparin-coated stent placement for the treatment of stenoses in small coronary arteries of symptomatic patients.
BACKGROUND The role of stents, especially of heparin-coated stents for the treatment of stenoses in small coronary arteries, is still unclear. Therefore, we performed this prospective, randomized trial to evaluate the angiographic and clinical outcome after treatment of stenoses in small coronary arteries (2.0 to 2.6 mm) of symptomatic patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We randomly assigned 588 pa...
متن کاملNew stent design for use in small coronary arteries during percutaneous coronary intervention
Patients with diabetes mellitus, of female gender, increased age, and/or with peripheral vascular disease often develop coronary stenoses in small caliber vessels. This review describes treatment of these lesions with the paclitaxel-eluting 2.25 mm TAXUS(®) Liberté(®) Atom™ stent. Given the same stent composition, polymer, antirestenotic drug (paclitaxel), and release kinetics as the first-gene...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Patency Rate of the Coronary Arteries after Treatment with Heberkinase
Background: Intravenous thrombolytic therapy is still the most common treatment for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in our country. In recent years, some cases of suboptimal results of the treatment with a special trademark (Heberkinase) have been reported. So, we decided to evaluate the patency rate of arteries involved in infarction after treatment with Heberkinase. Materials and Methods:...
متن کاملHarmonic Skeleton Guided Evaluation of Stenoses in Human Coronary Arteries
This paper presents a novel approach that three-dimensionally visualizes and evaluates stenoses in human coronary arteries by using harmonic skeletons. A harmonic skeleton is the center line of a multi-branched tubular surface extracted based on a harmonic function, which is the solution of the Laplace equation. This skeletonization method guarantees smoothness and connectivity and provides a f...
متن کاملEmergency percutaneous coronary interventions for unprotected left main stenoses: immediate and long term follow up.
METHODS Emergency PCI of the unprotected LMCA was performed in 35 cases, representing 0.2% of the 17 683 patients who underwent PCI at our centre between January 1990 and July 2001. Twenty six of the study patients (74.3%) were being treated in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In the nine other patients (25.7%) the procedure was performed as an emergency treatment for dissectio...
