The presence of a fractional flow reserve-negative high-risk nonculprit plaque associated with worse clinical outcomes among patients with myocardial infarction
1. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were more likely to occur in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) with an optical ...
Immediate revascularization reduces myocardial infarction rates compared to staged revascularization in multivessel coronary disease
1. The immediate revascularization group met the noninferiority criteria for the primary composite outcome, but superiority at the 1-year follow-up ...
Bivalirudin during and post-percutaneous coronary intervention reduces bleeding and mortality compared to heparin monotherapy
1. Bivalirudin during percutaneous coronary intervention plus high-dose infusion after demonstrated decreased all-cause mortality compared to heparin monotherapy. 2. Risk ...
Coronary artery bypass grafting reduces rate of myocardial infarctions compared to percutaneous coronary intervention for left main coronary artery disease
1. Although there was no significant difference seen in 5-year all-cause death between PCI and CABG patients, a Bayesian analysis ...
Quantitative flow ratio-guided coronary intervention reduces the rate of major cardiac events compared to visual angiography
1. Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) allowed for better periprocedural assessment of stenoses, leading to a lower amount of unnecessary stenting ...
Abbreviated dual antiplatelet therapy could improve outcome after percutaneous coronary intervention
1. Abbreviated antiplatelet therapy was shown to be noninferior to the standard duration of therapy in net adverse clinical and ...
Complete revascularization guided by fractional flow reserve not superior to angiography
1. Revascularization guided by fractional flow reserve (FFR) was shown not to have significant benefit compared to angiography for patients ...
Treatment with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention versus Coronary Artery Bypass not associated with increased rate of memory decline in older adults
1. Rate of age-related memory decline did not significantly differ when comparing individuals over the age of 65 who underwent ...
