In patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease, fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided complete nonculprit revascularization did not reduce death, myocardial infarction (MI) or unplanned revascularization compared with culprit lesion-only percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). “Around half of all patients undergoing primary PCI to the culprit lesion in STEMI have multivessel disease…

In the study, which was led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a founding member of the Mass General Brigham health care system and published in the Journal of the American
Treatment with ticagrelor alone results in a lower rate of clinically relevant bleeding compared with ticagrelor and aspirin among patients with an acute coronary syndrome who had percutaneous coronary intervention and remained event-free for one month on dual antiplatelet therapy, according to a study published online April 7 in The Lancet to coincide with the

ATLANTA — Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who had a myocardial infarction or unstable angina and underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) had a 76% lower rate of hospital readmission after 6 months if they participated in a remote monitoring protocol compared with similar patients who had standard post-discharge care…
MedPage Today) — ATLANTA — Cardiology’s bid to escape what many see as burdensome requirements for board certification maintenance under the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) is well underway, a panel reported at the American College…
The primary efficacy endpoint of clinically-relevant bleeding, defined as BARC types 2, 3 or 5 bleeding, was assessed in the intention-to-treat population between one-month and twelve-months post-PCI in patients who were event-free after one month of ticagrelor and aspirin. Switching to ticagrelor monotherapy at one month resulted in a 55-percent reduction in the hazard of
The results of a pioneering study support the safety of the bioimplants called PeriCord, made from stem cells of the umbilical cord and pericardium from a tissue donor, which aid in the regeneration and revascularization of the affected area. The study has monitored seven interventions of this pioneering tissue engineering surgery over three years…
