متن کاملRelation of inflammation and benefit of statins after percutaneous coronary interventions.
BACKGROUND Beyond lipid lowering, statins are known to possess antiinflammatory and antithrombotic properties. Recent studies suggested an association between statins and early reduction in death or myocardial infarction (MI) after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). We sought to examine the interrelationship between inflammation, statin use, and PCI outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS In t...

Therefore, pharmacological treatment during percutaneous intervention is based on the use of antithrombotic agents. In addition to aspirin, whose benefit has been clearly demonstrated in all forms of ischemic heart disease, cl...
متن کاملAntiplatelet Therapy in Hemodialysis Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Interventions
CONTEXT Coronary artery disease is highly prevalent among patients with end stage renal disease/hemodialysis (ESRD/HD) and coronary percutaneous interventions (PCI) has been increased by nearly 50% over the past decade. After PCI with stent placement, guidelines recommend dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), but no specifically tailored pharmacotherapy approach is outlined for this frail populatio...
