Background: Obstructive coronary artery disease is the main cause of death worldwide. By tracking events and gaining feedback on patient management, the most relevant information is provided to public health services to further improve prognosis.
Aims: To create an inclusive and accurate registry of all percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures performed in France, to assess and improve the quality of care and create research incentives.
Article Synopsis
- A study examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on hospital admissions for myocardial infarction (MI) in two French provinces, revealing a significant decline in MI cases during the lockdown period.
- In "Hauts-de-France," there was a 23% decrease in MI incidences, while "Pays-de-la-Loire" saw a 19% decline, both correlating to the number of COVID-19-related deaths in each region.
- The findings indicate that the pandemic's response may have negatively affected cardiovascular health, emphasizing the need for careful communication strategies in crisis situations.
Restenosis is a frequent complication of coronary stent implantation, especially bare metal stent (BMS) implantation. The everolimus-eluting stent (EES) has previously been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of de novo lesions. We performed this study to evaluate clinical, angiographic and IVUS results after EES implantation for the treatment of BMS ISR.
