Thrombus aspiration during ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: Routine thrombus aspiration before PCI as compared with PCI alone did not reduce 30-day mortality among patients with STEMI, and results were consistent across all major prespecified subgroups, including subgroups defined according toThrombus burden and coronary flow before PCI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential response of delayed healing and persistent inflammation at sites of overlapping sirolimus- or paclitaxel-eluting stents

TL;DR: Compared with bare metal stents, drug-eluting stents further delay arterial healing and promote inflammation at sites of overlap and patients receiving overlapping drug-ElutingStents need more frequent follow-up than patients with nonoverlapping stents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Annuloplasty: Initial Human Experience With Device Implantation in the Coronary Sinus

TL;DR: Initial experience suggests a possible favorable effect on MR, and percutaneous transvenous mitral annuloplasty warrants further evaluation as a less invasive alternative to surgical annuoplasty.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiac arrest in the catheterisation laboratory: a 5-year experience of using mechanical chest compressions to facilitate PCI during prolonged resuscitation efforts.

TL;DR: The use of mechanical chest compressions in the catheterisation laboratory allows for continued PCI or pericardiocentesis despite ongoing cardiac or circulatory arrest with artificially sustained circulation.
