Article Synopsis
- * Among the 383 patients in the study, those with complex lesions showed significantly higher rates of target lesion revascularization (TLR) compared to those with noncomplex lesions, particularly after the first year and beyond.
- * Cardiac death rates were notably higher in the complex group, especially after 4 years, with sudden death being the primary cause, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring for these patients.
Article Synopsis
- A 72-year-old man experienced a rare but severe coronary stent infection after a percutaneous coronary intervention, leading to complications like a coronary aneurysm and purulent pericarditis.
- The coronary aneurysm resolved within 8 months after successful treatment of the infection using only intensive antibiotics.
- This case indicates that conservative treatment may be a viable option for patients with significant surgical risks.
Background: Clopidogrel loading is a standard method to achieve rapid platelet inhibition and prevent thrombotic events. At the current time, little information is available to determine the effect of adjunctive cilostazol compared with clopidogrel loading.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 212 patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents for ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction.
Objective: Clinical outcomes in acute type B aortic dissection patients with partial thrombosis of the false lumen have not been clearly elucidated. The purpose of this study was to investigate long-term mortality and incidence of surgical treatment by focusing on the status of the false lumen including partial thrombosis.
Methods: One hundred three patients (69 males, mean age 67 ± 13 years) with acute type B aortic dissection were enrolled.
Coronary subclavian steal syndrome is an unusual cause of myocardial ischemia, secondary to a reversed blood flow in patients with patent internal thoracic artery coronary bypass grafts. The causes of coronary subclavian steal are either ipsilateral subclavian artery stenosis or upper extremity arteriovenous hemodialysis fistula formation or both. This report involves a 68-year-old woman with left vertebral artery occlusion who developed severe coronary steal in the absence of vertebral subclavian steal due to left subclavian artery stenosis and an arteriovenous hemodialysis graft.

On the other hand, renal function markedly declined after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The aims of the present study were (1) to identify what type of patients with AMI would have high L/H ratio at follow-up and (2) to evaluate whether decline in renal function after AMI had accelerated or not in patients with high L/H ratio.

Sixty-one of 67 patients treated between 1997 and 2002 could walk painlessly postoperatively (average, 19.7 months).
