Coronary Artery Disease(冠状动脉疾病,简称CAD)是一种由冠状动脉血液流量受限导致心肌供氧不足的病症,也被称为冠状
血管重建指的是两个手术:血管支架(Percutaneous coronary intervention,PCI)和心脏搭桥(Coronary artery bypass graft surgery,CABG)。 PCI相对简单,属于介入治疗,通过导管将一个支架与气球一起送入血管,并一路送达堵塞部位,将堵塞部位打通后给气球充气,把支架撑开放置于堵塞的位置,然后将气体抽出,把导管和气球一起原路...

A meta-analysis conducted by a team of researchers from the USA has provided new evidence that could lend support to the use of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at treatment centers that do not have on-site facilities for CABG surgery. In their paper, which was published in JAMA, Dr...

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), also known as coronary angioplasty, is a nonsurgical technique for treating obstructive coronary artery disease, including unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction (MI), and multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD). See the image below. Example of intravascu...
In addition, a single therapeutic intervention, such as one IV injection at the time of PCI, is advantageous since arterial sections can be treated simultaneously and the cardiologist can select the most suitable BMS for the specific artery pathology. Various nanotechnology applications have been...
Conclusion In ‘real-life’ ACS undergoing PCI, diabetic patients have higher – although not significantly – MACE rate and no difference in bleeding events. This difference in MACE was significant among clopidogrel-treated patients, whereas when newer antiplatelet agents were used the negative impact...
(HealthDay) -- For younger adults with premature coronary artery disease (CAD), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with excellent short- and long-term outcomes, according to a study published in the June 15 issue of The American Journ
