Filter by:The study compares the outcome of the ultrathin stent strut Supraflex Cruz stent to the thin stent strut Ultimaster Tansei stent in a PCI population at high risk for bleeding (HBR).
The SYNTAX-score has been proposed as a tool for risk stratification and guiding revascularization therapy in patients with complex coronary artery disease. There are limited data on the prognostic value of the SYNTAX-score among elderly patients. Aim of this study was to investigate whether age modifies the impact of the SYNTAX-score on all-cause mortality at 2 years after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
The study compares two lengths of medication therapy (a shortened versus a prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy) in order to prevent thrombus (blood cloth) formation after the successfully treatment for coronary heart disease with a drug covered stent (metallic tube). This comparison will be done in patients who, compared to the average patient, are more likely to suffer from complications on antiplatelet therapy (bleeding). Both durations are within the current medical recommendations. The aim of this study is to help improve further standard antiplatelet duration guidelines.
Dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 (DPP4) is an important regulator of incretins and inflammation, and participates in the pathophysiological process of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However clinical data of DPP4a in AMI patients is sparse. This study was to investigate the role of plasma DPP4 activity (DPP4a) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This was a analysis of consecutive patients conducted at a tertiary referral center from January 2014 to October 2015. The investigators included 747 STEMI-patients, treated with PCI from January 2013 to October 2015. Blood samples were collected immediately at admission. The patients were divided into four groups according to DPP4a quartile.
When ticagrelor should be discontinued prior to elective surgery is unclear. The risks of bleeding when it is continued peri-operatively have to be weighed against the risk of coronary artery thrombosis when stopped. This study aims to assess coagulation and thrombocyte function every other day in patients who are taking ticagrelor after coronary artery stents and discontinue therapy at the end of one year.
