Treatment of Ostial Right Coronary Artery Narrowings: Outcomes From the Multicenter Prospective e-ULTIMASTER Registry.

Background: Treatment of right coronary artery (RCA) aorto-ostial (AO) lesions with bare-metal stents and first-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) was associated with worse outcomes. This study aimed to assess the effect of RCA-AO stenting with current-generation DES on the clinical outcome.

Methods: The large all-comer, multicontinental e-ULTIMASTER registry included 37,198 patients of whom 4775 underwent ostial and proximal RCA percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using the Ultimaster stent (Terumo).

Incidence and prognosis of stent thrombosis following percutaneous coronary intervention in Middle Eastern patients: The First Jordanian Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Registry (JoPCR1).

Background: The incidence, risk factors, and outcome of stent thrombosis (ST) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Middle Eastern patients are largely unknown.

Objective: To determine the incidence, risk factors and outcome in our population.

Design: Retrospective study of a prospective multicenter registry of consecutive patients who underwent PCI between January 2013 and February 2014 (JoPCR1).
