The Feasibility and Safety of Ambulatory Percutaneous Coronary Interventions in Complex Lesions.

Background: The safety and feasibility of ambulatory PCI has been demonstrated in selected patients with "simple" lesions, but it is not well known whether it could be applied in more "complex" scenarios.

Methods: Main objective is to assess the feasibility and safety of ambulatory complex PCI. Prospective multicentre registry of 1047 consecutive patients planned for ambulatory trans-radial PCI.

Safety and Feasibility of Outpatient Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Selected Patients: A Spanish Multicenter Registry.

Introduction And Objectives: The exponential increase in coronary interventions plus the generalization of the radial approach represent the ideal scenario for starting outpatient angioplasty programs with the aim of reducing the costs while maintaining safety. This article reports data from a multicenter Spanish registry on fully ambulatory transradial angioplasty in selected patients for the first time.

Methods: Prospective registry of elective outpatient transradial-ulnar angioplasty in patients with stable coronary disease.

Post-treatment platelet reactivity predicts long-term adverse events better than the response to clopidogrel in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome.

Introduction And Objectives: Poor response to antiplatelet therapy has been associated with adverse long-term outcomes. The objective of this study is to assess the relationship between response to clopidogrel and post-treatment platelet reactivity (PPR) and 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS).

Methods: Patients with NSTEACS undergoing early coronary angiography were enrolled in this prospective, observational study.
