Fractional Flow Reserve and Angiography Guided Complete Revascularization in Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.

Using a network meta-analysis, this study compared fractional flow reserve (FFR) guided with angiography-guided revascularization of non-culprit lesions in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We also assessed if early complete revascularization is superior to delayed revascularization. We conducted a network meta-analysis using Net Meta XL of trials of STEMI patients with multivessel disease and compared revascularization strategies.

Safety, Feasibility and Economic Analysis of Same Day Discharge Following Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Background: Advances in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has made the possibility of facilitating same day discharge (SDD) of patients undergoing intervention. We sought to investigate the feasibility, safety and economic impact of such a service.

Methods: We retrospectively collected data on all patients undergoing outpatient PCI at our institution over a 12-month period.
