Heterogeneity of the No-Reflow Group After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Due to ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction - Are There Sex Differences?

Aims: Assessment of the diversity in the no-reflow population after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) due to ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Are there any gender-related differences?

Material And Methods: Analysis of 1063 STEMI patients with Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) grade 0 or 1 following pPCI. The study group consisted of 685 patients with TIMI grade 0 and of 378 patients with TIMI grade 1.

Long-term outcomes in men and women with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and incomplete reperfusion after a primary percutaneous coronary intervention: a 2-year follow-up.

Background: The failure of reperfusion therapy in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is more frequent than considered previously.

Aim: To evaluate sex-related differences in long-term outcomes in patients with STEMI and incomplete infarct-related artery reperfusion after a primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Patients And Methods: Of consecutive 42 752 patients with STEMI hospitalized between 2009 and 2011 in Poland, we analyzed a group of 766 (35%) women and 1453 (65%) men with less than thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade 3 following a primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Gender-related differences in men and women with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and incomplete infarct-related artery flow restoration: a multicenter national registry.

Introduction: Little is known about gender-related differences in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and incomplete infarct-related artery (IRA) reperfusion after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI).

Aim: To evaluate gender-related differences in clinical characteristics and prognosis in patients with STEMI and incomplete IRA reperfusion after pPCI.

Material And Methods: From 42,752 STEMI patients hospitalized between 2009 and 2011 in Poland we analyzed a group of 984 (36%) females and 1,746 (64%) males with less than Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) grade 3 flow following pPCI.

Analysis of the incidence and causes of repeated surgical interventions in patients with early complications electrotherapy - 1 center experience from the period 2012-2015.

Baclground: Due to increasing number of patients treated by cardiac implantable electronic devices we observe increasing number of complications after these procedures

Material And Methods: We analysed causes of early surgical revision of implantable devices connected with 1673 procedures of implantation (871 procedures) or exchange (802 procedures) of pacing systems (PM), cardioverter-difibrillators (ICD) and resynchronisation systems (CRT) in one local centre of electrotherapy in years 2012 to 2015. We characterised risk factors and its influence on encountered complications.

Results: In analysed period 72 reinterventions after implantations or exchanges of PM/ICD/CRT were performed.
