Cristina Fernandez , MD, PhD;

ABSTRACT: Background. A 300 mg clopidogrel loading-dose (LD) is widely used as an adjunct antithrombotic treatment to reduce the risk of thrombotic events early after coronary stenting (CS). Antithrombotic drugs commonly used during...

Long-term Outcome of Patients with Proximal Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery In-Stent Restenosis Treated with a Second P

ABSTRACT: Background. Clopidogrel combined to aspirin reduces the early risk of stent thrombosis and a clopidogrel pre-treatment strategy is associated with a better outcome. However, in clinical practice such pre-treatment strategy is not...

Prognostic Impact of a Chronic Occlusion in a Noninfarct Vessel in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction and Multivessel Dis

In patients with proximal left anterior descending (LAD) disease, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a valid alternative to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), offering similar long-term survival and relief of angina as CABG,...

Isolated Right Ventricular Infarction: Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Three Different Types of Clinical Presentation

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the best reperfusion strategy in patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (AMI).1 This is mainly because it achieves a very high rate of successful recanalization of the...

Milking-Like Effect Secondary to Systolic Expansion of a Post-Infarction Left Ventricular Aneurysm

ABSTRACT: In 1.5–2.0% of patients with acute myocardial infarction referred for primary percutaneous coronary intervention, the left main trunk is identified as the culprit vessel. Among the congenital coronary anomalies, an anomalous origin...

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Cardiac Arrest Secondary to ST-Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction. Influence of Immedi

Systolic compression (milking) of the coronary arteries is almost always due to the existence of myocardial bridging. The prevalence of myocardial bridging ranges from 0.5% to 16% of patients submitted to coronary angiography, and is usually...
