Appropriate surgical repair of ventricular free wall rupture after infarction: a case report

Abstract Ventricular free wall rupture is a fatal mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction. In some cases it can be represented as subacute clinic and may not cause death in a few minutes. Acute pseudo-aneurysms are extremely unstable and bound to fatal rupture. Herein we report a male pati...

Behavior of ultrasensitive c-reactive protein in myocardial revascularization with and without cardiopulmonary bypass

Abstract Objective: To analyze the inflammation resulting from myocardial revascularization techniques with and without cardiopulmonary bypass, based on ultrasensitive C-reactive protein (US-CRP) behavior. Methods: A prospective non-randomized clinical study with 136 patients was performed. Sixty-nine ...

ABSTRACT Objective: To outline the clinical-epidemiological profile of patients submitted to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in a Reference Hospital in Urgent Cardiology Clinic of the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Method: This is a descriptive, exploratory, prospective study with a quantitative appr...

Reperfusión mecánica simple en el infarto agudo de miocardio: Determinantes, implicaciones en el pronóstico y relación con la histología del trombo
Simple mechanical reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction: determinants, prognostic implications and relation with thrombus histology

Medicina (B.Aires); 77 (5), 2017
La reperfusión mecánica simple (RMS) es la lograda en la angioplastia primaria al atravesar la oclusión en la arteria responsable de infarto con la guía intracoronaria. Para evaluar los determinantes de la RMS, su implicación en el pronóstico y su relación con la histopatología del trombo rescata...

Techniques, timing & prognosis of post infarct ventricular septal repair: a re-look at old dogmas

Abstract Objective: The study aimed to identify the factors affecting the prognosis of post myocardial infarction (MI) ventricular septal rupture (VSR) and to develop a protocol for its management. Methods: This was a single center, retrospective-prospective study (2009-2014), involving 55 patients wit...

Reperfusion therapy of myocardial infarction in Mexico: A challenge for modern cardiology

Arch. cardiol. Méx; 87 (2), 2017
Abstract: Mexico has been positioned as the country with the highest mortality attributed to myocardial infarction among the members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. This rate responds to multiple factors, including a low rate of reperfusion therapy and the absence of a coord...

Emergency Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Through the Left Radial Artery is Associated with Less Vascular Complications than Emergency Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Through the Femoral Artery

Clinics; 72 (1), 2017
OBJECTIVE: To compare the advantages and disadvantages of emergency percutaneous coronary intervention through the left radial artery with those of emergency percutaneous coronary intervention through the femoral artery. METHODS: A total of 206 patients with acute myocardial infarction who required emer...

In-Lab Upfront Use of Tirofiban May Reduce the Occurrence of No-Reflow During Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. A Pilot Randomized Study

Arq. bras. cardiol; 107 (5), 2016
Abstract Background: Despite successful opening of culprit coronary artery, myocardial reperfusion does not always follows primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors are used in the treatment of no-reflow (NR), but their role to prevent it is unproven. Objective...
