  • Periprocedural Myocardial Infarction in Contemporary Practice

    2019, Interventional Cardiology Clinics
    Citation Excerpt :

    Predictors of periprocedural MI include factors related to the patient, lesion, and the procedure itself. Patients with advanced age, female gender, multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD), diffuse CAD, systemic atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, chronic and end-stage renal disease, and preprocedural cardiac biomarker elevation are at increased risk of periprocedural MI.3,11,18,66–68 Anatomic factors associated with an increased risk of periprocedural MI include lesions of the left main and left anterior descending arteries, bifurcation lesions, calcified lesions, lesions longer than 20 mm, advanced CAD (high Syntax score), complex lesions (American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association [ACC/AHA] type C), lesions with high thrombus burden, and saphenous vein graft (SVG) lesions.3,66,69

  • Coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease in chronic kidney disease: An epidemiological perspective

    2005, Cardiology Clinics
    Citation Excerpt :

    The mortality risks of stent placement were also better than for PTCA; however; this benefit was mainly confined to nondiabetics. These findings have confirmed and have extended the observations of several other groups in demonstrating the benefit of CABG over PTCA and stent placement, at least in observational studies [84–89]. The question of confounding by selection bias will always remain, because patients who undergo CABG are likely to have more severe disease and to have higher overall cardiovascular risk than those treated with PTCA.

  • Analysis of long-term survival after revascularization in patients with chronic kidney disease presenting with acute coronary syndromes

    2003, American Journal of Cardiology
    Citation Excerpt :

    Patients who underwent coronary angiography and were subsequently treated with medical therapy had better long-term survival compared with those treated with medical therapy alone (p <0.0001). Previous studies have clearly established that the outcomes of surgical and percutaneous coronary revascularization are worse in patients with CKD compared with patients with normal renal function.3–13 It is also widely accepted that patients with CKD presenting with ACS have worse outcomes compared with those with normal renal function.14–19
