Distal embolization may decrease myocardial reperfusion after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Nonetheless, results of previous trials assessing the role of distal protection during primary PCI have been controversial. The Protection of Distal Embolization in High-Risk Patients with Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Trial (PREMIAR) was a prospective, randomized, ...
We characterized the degree of systemic and coronary inflammation and the impact of those on clinical state in patients with a cardiogenic shock complicating first anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: We recruited 14 consecutive patients with cardiogenic shock (10 men, 69 ± 12 years) and 18 well-matched baseline characteristics without shock (17 men, 64 ± 9 year...
This study sought to evaluate the relation between C-reactive protein (CRP) on admission of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and myocardial perfusion as defined by postintervention angiographic myocardial blush grade (MBG) and their impact on subsequent mortality. The patient population comprised 191 consecutive patients with AMI undergoing PTCA within 12h of symptom onset on a n...
BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic plaque that shows echo signal attenuation (EA) without associated bright echoes is sometimes observed by intravascular ultrasound but its clinical significance remains unclear. We investigated the impact of EA on coronary perfusion and evaluated the pathological features of plaque with EA. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 687 native coronary lesions in 687 consecutive...
AIMS To investigate the circulating progenitor stem cells (cPCs) count evolution during seven days hospitalization period in ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients, and to correlate their evolution with some clinical and angiographic parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twelve Caucasian patients with STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were enro...
BACKGROUND Aspiration thrombectomy in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is recommended by current guidelines based on several randomized trials. There are no trials assessing thrombectomy in non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients. OBJECTIVES The TATORT-NSTEMI (Thrombus Aspiration in Thrombus Containing Culprit Lesions in Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarctio...
BACKGROUND Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) progressively compromises microvascular perfusion and function in heart transplantation (HTx)-recipients. The aim of our study was to investigate the ability of quantitative myocardial blush grade (MBG) to detect CAV. METHODS In consecutive HTx-recipients (n = 72) who underwent surveillance cardiac catheterization, MBG was assessed visually and ...
AIMS Although recognized as an important feature of atherosclerotic coronary disease, little is known about the frequency and prognostic importance of distal embolization during primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction. METHODS AND RESULTS As part of a randomized trial of thrombolysis vs primary angioplasty, 178 patients with acute myocardial infarction were treated with primary an...
BACKGROUND ST-elevation myocardial infarction is caused by occlusive coronary thrombosis where antecedent plaque disruption occurs. When treating STEMI the main goal is to achieve prompt reperfusion of the infarction area. Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of an aspiration device before percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction. OBJECTIVES To...
Sagittal Sinus Responsible for Intracranial Hypertension We report a case of a 57-year-old patient with a history of intracranial hypertension (visual impairment, headaches, and papillary edema) due to a meningioma exclusively located inside the superior sagittal sinus (SSS). The lesion was not detected on a nonenhanced brain CT. MR imaging revealed a centimetric round homogeneous lesion, hyper...
