Repeat Revascularization After PCI

Repeat revascularization after PCI: are we reinventing the wheel or redefining Achilles' heel?

All-cause readmission and repeat revascularization after percutaneous coronary intervention.

BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is one of the most frequently performed cardiac interventions. However, there is limited data regarding the cause of recurrent hospitalization and repeat revascularization. The aim of this study was to assess re-hospitalization and repeat revascularization within 30 days of the initial hospitalization for PCI, using data from Opolskie Voivodes...

Outcome of repeat revascularization surgery for moyamoya disease after an unsuccessful indirect revascularization. Clinical article.

OBJECT Revascularization for moyamoya disease, either by direct anastomosis or indirect procedures, is an accepted and effective form of treatment for prevention of future ischemic events. Indirect procedures do not provide sufficient collateral vessels in a subset of patients, who then have persistent or new symptoms. Repeat revascularization procedures may be recommended for these patients. ...

Repeat coronary revascularization procedures after successful bare-metal or drug-eluting stent implantation.

BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to assess the rate and anatomical targets of repeat revascularization procedures in routine clinical practice after either bare-metal stent (BMS) or drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. Randomized trials provide a reference standard for comparing outcomes after BMS or DES, but the rates of repeat revascularization procedures in clinical trials do not nece...

All-cause readmission and repeat revascularization after percutaneous coronary intervention in a cohort of medicare patients.

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to report on the all-cause readmission and repeat revascularization rates after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). BACKGROUND Although PCIs are frequently performed, 30-day rates of readmission and repeat revascularization after PCI are not known. METHODS Retrospective analysis of a cohort of Medicare fee-for-service admissions associated with...
