Acute myocardial infarction has traditionally been divided into ST elevation or non-ST
elevation myocardial infarction; however, therapies are similar between the two, and the …

2009 Focused Updates: ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Management of Patients With ST-Elevation
Myocardial Infarction (Updating the 2004 Guideline and 2007 Focused Update) and ACC/AHA/SCAI …

Aims To compare the efficacy and safety of drug-eluting stents vs. bare-metal stents in
patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Methods and results We …

Acute coronary syndromes (ACS), which include unstable angina and myocardial infarction
(MI) with or without ST-segment elevation, are life-threatening disorders that remain a …

BACKGROUND: Advances in coronary angioplasty and adjunct pharmacology have
improved patient outcomes after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute …

Objectives: The primary aim of the analysis was to compare outcomes by stent type for
death, myocardial infarction (MI), target vessel revascularization (TVR), and stent thrombosis …

Restenosis is a serious occurrence that can lead not only to recurrent angina and repeat
revascularisation but also to acute coronary syndromes. Drug-eluting stents revolutionised …

BACKGROUND: Recent concerns have emerged on the potential higher risk of stent
thrombosis after DES implantation, that might be even more pronounced among STEMI …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the frequency of very late stent
thrombosis (VLST) after stenting with bare-metal stents (BMS) and drug-eluting stents (DES) …

Several randomized trials and meta-analyses have shown that primary angioplasty is
superior to thrombolysis in the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI) …
