Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of a new system for telemetric electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring in patients after endovascular interventions (EI) on the coronary arteries (CA).
Materials And Methods: 168 patients with chronic ischemic heart disease who underwent EI on the CA on an outpatient basis, and during routine hospitalization, followed by telemetric ECG-monitoring after interventions were included. The monitoring was carried out using a three-channel telemetric recorder Astrocard HE3 (Russia), which provides continuous monitoring of 3-lead ECG for a long time.
Aim: To study the safety and clinical efficacy of an outpatient coronary angiography in various groups of patients according to a 6-year experience of the laboratory of endovascular diagnostic and treatment methods in the outpatient setting of the NMRC of Cardiology.
Materials And Methods: 2166 patients which underwent an outpatient coronary agiography from March 2009 to December 2014 were included. The success criteria was the successful completion of the procedure without the occurrence of major cardiovascular complications (death, transmural myocardial infarction; acute cerebrovascular accident, emergency cardiac surgery).
Aim: To evaluate cost effectiveness of coronary endovascular treatment in patients with stable IHD during "one-night" hospitalization.
Materials And Methods: Using the cost-minimization analysis direct medical cost of coronary endovascular treatment in patients with stable IHD during the "one-night" hospitalization was compared with the "classic" hospitalization.
Results: The most cost-effective strategy for hospitalization of patients for transcutaneous coronary intervention (TCI) with stenting was the "one-night" hospitalization.
