Abstract Objective: The objective of the study was to describe the feasibility of single catheter intervention using the transradial approach for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Background: The transradial approach for PCIs has fewer vascular events and complications and lower mortality rate....
RESUMEN La disección espontánea de una arteria coronaria durante el embarazo es una causa poco común de infarto agudo de miocardio, con un alto riesgo de muerte materna. El diagnóstico se realiza mediante angiografía, aunque muchos casos son diagnosticados durante la autopsia. Se presenta el caso de...
Abstracts: Successful treatment following percutaneous angioplasty (PTCA) and percutaneous trans aortic valve aortic valve stenosis and critical obstruction of the main left coronary artery is presented. Due to a very high estimated surgical risk the patient underwent PTCA of the main left trunk followed...
Abstract The best treatment for patients with ischemic heart failure (HF) is still on debate. There is growing evidence that coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) benefits these patients. The current recommendations for revascularization in this context are that CABG is reasonable when it comes to decreasi...
Abstract Objective: To investigate the clinical significance of serum cystatin C (Cys-C) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: One hundred and twenty-eight CHD patients were divided into dr...
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the association between serum vitamin D (vitD) level and SYNTAX (synergy between percutaneous coronary intervention with taxus and cardiac surgery) score (SS). Methods: The medical records of consecutive patients, who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery, were ...
ABSTRACT Objective: Evaluate the performance of the Vascular Complications Risk Score in two public referral centers for interventional cardiology. Method: Subsample analysis of the Vascular Complications Risk Score, which was developed and validated in the catheterization laboratories of three cardi...
O presente artigo relata o caso de um paciente coronariopata de 86 anos submetido a cateterismo cardíaco via acesso radial à esquerda. Cerca de 16 meses após o procedimento, manifestou dispneia sem relação com esforço, associada a hipóxia noturna. Apresentava frêmito à palpação do punho esquer...
