Background: The utility of polymer-permanent, polymer-absorbable, and polymer-free drug-eluting stents (DES) in the context of different eluting drugs in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains controversial.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of different DES strategies in post-PCI patients.
Methods: Digital databases were searched to select all randomized control trials.
Background: Current understanding of outcomes of cardiogenic shock (CS) in Asian populations is limited. We aim to study the clinical outcomes of CS in Asian population compared with non-Asians in the US.
Methods: The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was queried between 2002-2019 to identify hospitalizations with CS.
