Case presentation: primary PCI in STEMI - What to do if standard thrombectomy and regular stent does not seem to be enough ?A. Araszkiewicz
Treatment options for STEMI will depend on several factors, including: Where the blockage is in your heart Results of tests such as ECG/EKG Age, general health and lifestyle factors No matter what, treating a STEMI is time-sensitive. Faster treatment can mean better outcomes. If your blood ...
Currently, a hybrid approach is recommended when undertaking CTO-PCI, as it emphasizes flexibility in addressing the CTO at the onset and during the procedure (Figure 1).13 The most common reason for CTO-PCI failure is the inability to cross a lesion with a guidewire. Three main strategies ...
surveyed interventionists to identify variations in technique for PCI for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). It identifies some variations that probably do not matter, and one that does. First, what "does not" matter? The survey showed that 97% or respondents rarely/never perform right ...

It is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the removal of atherosclerotic plaque from blood vessels using various mechanical devices. The goal of atherectomy is to debulk or modify the plaque, restoring blood flow and improving vessel patency. In RA, a high-speed rotating burr abrades ...
