Outcomes of chronic total occlusions in coronary arteries according to three therapeutic strategies: a meta-analysis with 6985 patients from 8 published observational studies

Abstract Objective: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and medical treatment (MT) in patients with chronic total occlusions (CTOs). Methods: We identified eligible observational studies ...

A complete occlusion of right coronary artery due to stanford type a aortic dissection - successful treatment with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ecmo)

Abstract We present a patient diagnosed Stanford Type A aortic dissection, who was misdiagnosed as acute myocardial infarction for 5 days. In the surgery, the right coronary ostium was totally occluded, and the right coronary artery (RCA) was bluish from the trunk to branches. The true lumen couldn't be ...

Patency of individual and sequential coronary artery bypass in patients with ischemic heart disease: a meta-analysis

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the patency of individual and sequential coronary artery bypass in patients with ischemic heart disease. Methods: We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Excerpta Medica Database, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases for controlled trials. Endpoints included graft patency, ana...

Coronary artery dissection in a patient with Buerger's Disease

Abstract Buerger's disease, vasculitis of small and medium-sized blood vessels, is a non-atherosclerotic and progressive occlusive condition which frequently involves the distal part of the limbs. The occlusion of coronary arteries in Buerger's disease is a rare condition; however, coronary artery dissec...

Alteração letrocardiográfica incomum por oclusão de coronária descendente anterior: padrão "De Winter"

O eletrocardiograma (ECG) é fundamental na avaliação dos pacientes com síndrome coronariana aguda (SCA), pois possibilita a identificação precoce dos pacientes com sinais de oclusão coronariana (infarto agudo do miocárdio com supradesnivelamento do segmento ST - IAMCSSST), que se beneficiam com e...

Marcadores angiográficos negativos en la intervención coronaria percutánea de las oclusiones totales crónicas

Resumen Objetivos: El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar variables angiográficas predictivas negativas y la presencia de la rama lateral en la proximidad de la capa distal de la oclusión en el resultado de la intervención coronaria percutánea de las oclusiones totales crónicas. Método: Las var...

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Chronic Total Occlusion

Arq. bras. cardiol; 110 (5), 2018
Abstract Percutaneous coronary intervention in chronic total occlusion is a rapidly evolving area, being considered the last frontier of interventional cardiology. In recent years, the development of new techniques and equipment, as well as the training of specialized personnel, increased their success r...

Infarto agudo de miocardio con elevación del segmento ST secundario a oclusión aguda del tronco principal de la coronaria izquierda no protegido

Acta méd. colomb; 38 (2), 2013
La oclusión del tronco principal de la arteria coronaria izquierda (tPi) no protegido es poco observada durante la realización de angioplastia primaria en infarto agudo de miocardio, posiblemente en parte por la baja probabilidad de sobrevivir al evento el tiempo suficiente para llegar a un hospital. r...
