INTRODUCTION: Long-term data is limited on the comparative outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with second-generation drug-eluting stents (S-DES) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Hypothesis: Our aim was to conduct a systematic...
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is currently the standard of care after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Recent studies suggest that reducing DAPT to 1-3 months followed by an aspirin-free single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) strategy with a potent P2Y12 inhibitor is safe and associated with less...
Impact of selection to participate in a randomized study on the clinical/angiographic profile and results: hospital admissions of diabetic patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
INTRODUÇÃO: Em geral, pacientes (p) incluídos em estudos randomizados são selecionados e exibem perfil clínico/angiográfico de menor gravidade do que os do mundo real. Na última década, ensaios clínicos envolvendo intervenções coronárias percutâneas (ICP) com novos modelos de stents farmacol...
INTRODUCTION: In patients treated with bare metal stents and earlygeneration drug-eluting stents (DES) smaller stent diameter (SD) has been associated with worse long-term outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Data on the impact of small SD on outcomes after PCI with third generation D...
FUNDAMENTOS: Os balões farmacológicos representam uma alternativa aos stents farmacológicos a realização de intervenção coronária percutânea (ICP). São dispositivos capazes de entrega de droga anti- -proliferativa na lesão-alvo de forma homogênea, com a vantagem da ausência de suporte metál...
INTRODUÇÃO: As doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) são a principal causa de morte e incapacidade do mundo há mais de duas décadas, sendo responsáveis por mais de um terço das mortes globalmente. A compreensão da DCV no sexo feminino ainda apresenta lacunas visto que, mulheres são sub-representadas e...
INTRODUCTION: Inspiron® (Scitech, Brazil) is a 3rd generation drug eluting stent designed to create a fast and homogeneous endothelialization, possibly improving clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a sirolimus-eluting coronary stent, composed o...
