conclusions preoperative echocardiography, applied before elective and emergency percutaneous coronary interventions, plays a key role in detecting many intervention-related complications in the post-intervention period. case presentation a 65-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency department and acute inferolateral myocardial infarction was diagnosed. the left atrial hematoma as a...

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of calcitriol on Ischemia-reperfusion Injury (IRI) and inflammatory biomarkers in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTEACS) undergoing elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Methods: A total of 72 patients with NSTEACS were randomly divided into two groups: (1) the calcitriol-treated grou...

Background: In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the preferred reperfusion therapy. Timely primary PCI is essential in improving the clinical outcomes of these patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors affecting balloon delay in STEMI treated patients by primary PCI and its relationship with ma...

background: the aim of the present study was to develop a scoring system for predicting 1-year major adverse cardiac events (mace), including mortality, target vessel or target lesion revascularization, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and non-fatal myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention (pci). methods: the data were extracted from a single center pci registry. the ...

background: this study sought to access differences in long-term (9 months) outcomes between acute coronary syndrome (acs) patients who undergo early intervention compared to percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) in stable and refractory conditions. methods: data originated from tehran heart center registry- interventional cardiology (thcr-ic) and consisted of 1267 patients divided into two ...

background and aims: bilirubin has been considered an antioxidant that protects against atherosclerosis. the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship of serum bilirubin level with the severity and complexity of coronary artery disease (cad) and long-term outcome in the patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pci). materials and methods: this prospective cohort ...
