Use and outcomes of the PK Papyrus covered stent in France: SOS PK Papyrus Registry.

Objectives: To evaluate the rate of procedural success and long-term outcomes of the PK Papyrus (PKP) covered stent (CS).

Background: CS are essential in the treatment of coronary artery perforation (CAP). They have also been used to treat coronary artery aneurysms.

Immediate vs Delayed Stenting in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Rationale and Design of the International PRIMACY Bayesian Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Primary percutaneous coronary intervention is used to restore blood flow in the infarct-related coronary artery, followed by immediate stenting to prevent reocclusion. Stents implanted in thrombus-laden arteries cause distal embolization, which paradoxically impairs myocardial reperfusion and ventricular function. Whether a strategy of delayed stenting improves outcomes in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is uncertain.

Comparison of Immediate With Delayed Stenting Using the Minimalist Immediate Mechanical Intervention Approach in Acute ST-Segment-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: The MIMI Study.

Background: Delayed stent implantation after restoration of normal epicardial flow by a minimalist immediate mechanical intervention aims to decrease the rate of distal embolization and impaired myocardial reperfusion after percutaneous coronary intervention. We sought to confirm whether a delayed stenting (DS) approach (24-48 hours) improves myocardial reperfusion, versus immediate stenting, in patients with acute ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Methods And Results: In the prospective, randomized, open-label minimalist immediate mechanical intervention (MIMI) trial, patients (n=140) with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction ≤12 hours were randomized to immediate stenting (n=73) or DS (n=67) after Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction 3 flow restoration by thrombus aspiration.

[Local registry of pacemakers implantations: proposals to decrease the infectious risk].

The complications of definitive cardiac stimulation must not be forgotten or sub estimate. The aim of our Registry is to compare the complications of the implantation of a pacemaker in the national and international literature. The assessment of our professional practices has been achieved.
