Personal Recovery Time Everyone’s recovery can be a bit different. It’s important to talk with your doctor about any concerns or questions and follow their advice closely for the best recovery. For more details, you can refer to guidelines from the American Heart Association (AHA) and the ...
Predictive value of reactive hyperemic response on reperfusion on recovery of regional myocardial function after coronary angioplasty in acute myocardial i... BACKGROUND: The objective of the study was to determine the coronary vasodilatory reserve in reperfused myocardium in patients with acute myocardial...
Carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS)Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR)Breath holding test (BHT)Internal carotid artery high-grade stenosis is a major cause of stroke. Carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) is a reasonable approach for treatment of certain patients. Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) ...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether higher coronary blood flow, estimated by the corrected Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) frame count (CTFC), is related to better functional and clinical outcome after successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in patients...
When these measures are not effective, or an artery becomes completely blocked, peripheral endarterectomy may be performed to remove the blockage (see also angioplasty and peripheral vascular bypass surgery ). Treatment of risk factors must continue, because surgery only corrects the immediate problem,...
Time delay to treatment and mortality in primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction: every minute of delay counts. Circulation 2004;109:1223–5. 6. Christian TF, Behrenbeck T, Gersh BJ, Gibbons RJ. Relation of left ventricular volume and function over one year after acute myocardial ...
deflation of the angioplasty balloon, just after reperfusion by direct stenting. This approach was proved to reduce Creatine Kinase (CK), a surrogate marker of the infarct size, in a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter study [105]. Moreover, long-term benefits in LVEF recovery were...
Peripheral ischemia is associated with higher degree of endothelial dysfunction and a worse prognosis after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). However, the role of peripheral ischemia on vascular remodeling in remote districts remains poorly
