In randomized stent trials, MI occurring after PCI is a measure of stent safety. MI is often defined by cardiac enzyme elevation or diagnostic EKG changes regardless of the angiographic location of the culprit lesion. Hence, the relation of post–PCI MI to the stented vessel cannot be ...

During PCI, doctors will insert a catheter into the artery. The catheter has a small balloon with a stent around it on one end. When the catheter reaches the point of the blockage, the doctor will inflate the balloon. When the balloon inflates, the stent expands and locks into place. Th...
Cardiogenic shock is most often caused by a heart attack, but it’s when your heart can’t pump enough blood to meet your body’s need. Read through this article to learn what you need to know about cardiac shock.
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is commonly performed in patients with angina pectoris. By using cardiac catheterization, the blocked artery is dilated with a balloon and a stent is inserted to cover the blocked area of the vessel. ...
“overt dysfunction”. Most HCM patients pass away as a result of complications of their own disease, mainly within the context of HF. While SCD has a tendency to be juvenile, HF connected deaths often take place in age groups not any longer amenable to cardiac transplant. Modes of demise ...
Coronary angioplasty and stenting: It is also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in which the blockage is removed and the blood flow is restored. Along with this, a stent is placed to keep the vessel intact. Coronary artery bypass surgery: Bypass surgery can be recommended after...
Regardless of which risk factors were more dominant, the patient had APS which is a clinical challenge in the management of the ACS. The patient had been managed with PCI with implantation of DES. APS patient who undergoes stent implantation in the culprit lesion is recommended to be given tri...
