Article Synopsis
- The DANAMI-3 DEFER study shows that postponing stent implantation in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is safe and may work well when carefully choosing patients.
- The study included 198 patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and compared those who had deferred stenting with those who received immediate stenting.
- Results indicated that while the deferred stenting group had lower rates of stent use and employed more thrombus aspiration, there were no significant differences in mortality or major adverse events between the two groups, suggesting the need for further research on tailored treatment strategies.
Background: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has traditionally been managed with immediate reperfusion of the culprit artery, primarily through percutaneous coronary intervention and stent placement. Emerging data are highlighting the crucial importance of post-infarct microcirculatory function assessment.
Case Summary: This report presents a patient with an inferior STEMI who was successfully reperfused without stent implantation.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in early (EOAD) and late (LOAD) onset of Alzheimer´s disease, as well as glucose uptake, regional cerebral blood flow (R1), amyloid depositions, and functional brain connectivity between normal young (YC) and Old Controls (OC).
Methodology: The study included 22 YC (37 ± 5 y), 22 OC (73 ± 5.9 y), 18 patients with EOAD (63 ± 9.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical impact PET with F-FDG and C-PIB in patients with dementia in a developing country. Retrospective study of the patients referred for the evaluation of dementia to the only PET center in Uruguay. A total of 248 patients were identified, from which 70 patients were included based on the availability of medical history and clinical follow-up.
