Percutaneous coronary intervention administration of statins enhances the thrombin-thrombomodulin (TM) interaction, which is critical for the prevention of post-procedural cardiovascular complications. Atomic force microscopy showed that statins increased the single molecule rupture forces between thrombin and TM, suggesting a strengthened complex. This was supported by surface plasmon resonance, which showed an enhanced binding affinity under the statin treatment. Molecular docking and dynamics simulations revealed that statins can bind to both thrombin and TM, forming stable complexes that facilitate protein C activation. Clinically relevant doses of statins were found to significantly enhance the thrombin-TM interaction, potentially reducing the risk of myocardial infarction and stent thrombosis by augmenting the endothelial anticoagulant properties through the thrombin-TM pathway. By acting as a bridge, statins foster more stable thrombin-TM complexes, supporting endogenous anticoagulant mechanisms and leading to better cardiovascular outcomes.

The recording of mortality after acute myocardial infarction can be based on different data, some of which yield very different results. These differences are due to a number of factors, including the definition of acute myocardial infarction, patient selection and the methods used to determine mortality. While routine data are primarily used for billing purposes, procedural data for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are used for external quality assurance and therefore only include patients who undergo invasive diagnostic procedures.

Importance: Outcomes in patients with diabetes after fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using current-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) compared with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are unknown.
Objectives: To investigate the relative treatment effect of PCI vs CABG according to diabetes status with respect to major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) at 3 years and to evaluate the impact of the SYNTAX score.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This is a prespecified subgroup analysis of the FAME (Fractional Flow Reserve vs Angiography for Multivessel Evaluation) 3 trial, an investigator-initiated, randomized clinical trial conducted at 48 centers worldwide.

Background: "Stepwise provisional stenting" is the most adopted approach for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in bifurcation lesions. During these procedures, side-branch (SB) may deserve treatment, but the best ballooning technique is still undetermined.
Objectives: To compare the stent configurations obtained by two SB ballooning sequences after the main vessel (MV) stent implantation: proximal-optimization-technique (POT)+kissing-balloon-inflation+final POT (PKP) versus POT+isolated-SB-dilation+final POT (PSP).

Introduction: Acute coronary syndrome refers to a group of diseases characterized by sudden, decreased blood supply to the heart muscle that results in cell death, also known as acute myocardial infarction. This results in severe chest pain or discomfort, with the subsequent release of cardiac biomarkers, and alterations in the electrocardiogram. It can cause diminished heart function and mortality if not treated properly with suitable measures.
