Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the outcomes of patients who experienced cardiogenic shock due to an unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) occlusion following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
- The analysis included 49 patients from 1998 to 2017, revealing a striking 30-day mortality rate of 78%, with many dying within 24 hours of intervention.
- Key findings showed that previous cardiac arrest during treatment and severe left ventricular dysfunction were significant predictors of both short-term and long-term mortality, highlighting the seriousness of this condition.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical results of diabetic patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery lesions carrying a low risk of restenosis treated with a bare-metal stent (BMS).
Background: There is a discrepancy between current international guidelines on the use of BMS in diabetics with low risk of restenosis coronary artery lesions.
Methods And Results: Registry data from diabetic patients who underwent non-urgent PCI in a high-volume tertiary referral hospital in the Netherlands was used.
Objective: To evaluate gender differences in the prognostic value of renal function for mortality in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).
Design: Prospective single-center cohort.
Setting: Single tertiary referral center in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
