Journal ArticleDOI
Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation and infarct size in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction without shock: the CRISP AMI randomized trial.
Manesh R. Patel,Richard W. Smalling,Holger Thiele,Huiman X. Barnhart,Yi Zhou,Praveen Chandra,Derek P. Chew,Marc Cohen,John K. French,Divaka Perera,E. Magnus Ohman +10 more
TL;DR: Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation is an adjunct to revascularization in patients with cardiogenic shock and reduces infarct size when placed prior to reperfusion in animal models and among patients with acute anterior STEMI without shock, IABC plus primary PCI compared with PCI alone did not result in reduced infarCT size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elective intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation during high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention: a randomized controlled trial.
Divaka Perera,Rodney H. Stables,Martyn Thomas,Jean Booth,Michael Pitt,Daniel J. Blackman,Adam de Belder,Simon Redwood +7 more
TL;DR: The results do not support a strategy of routine IABP placement before PCI in all patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction and extensive coronary disease and suggest that routine intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation before PCI should be dropped.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic Resonance Perfusion or Fractional Flow Reserve in Coronary Disease
Eike Nagel,John P Greenwood,Gerry P McCann,Nuno Bettencourt,Ajay M. Shah,Shazia T Hussain,Divaka Perera,Sven Plein,Chiara Bucciarelli-Ducci,Matthias Paul,Mark Westwood,Michael S. Marber,Wolf-Stefan Richter,Valentina O. Puntmann,Carsten Schwenke,Jeanette Schulz-Menger,Rajiv Das,Joyce Wong,Derek J. Hausenloy,Henning Steen,Colin Berry +20 more
TL;DR: Among patients with stable angina and risk factors for coronary artery disease, myocardial-perfusion cardiovascular MRI was associated with a lower incidence of coronary revascularization than FFR and was noninferior to FFR with respect to major adverse cardiac events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of absolute myocardial perfusion in patients with coronary artery disease: comparison between cardiovascular magnetic resonance and positron emission tomography.
Geraint Morton,Amedeo Chiribiri,Masaki Ishida,Shazia T Hussain,Andreas Schuster,Andreas Indermuehle,Divaka Perera,Juhani Knuuti,Stacey Baker,Erik Hedström,Paul Schleyer,Michael O'Doherty,Sally F. Barrington,Eike Nagel +13 more
TL;DR: There is good correlation between CMR(CMR) and MPR(PET), and for the detection of significant CAD, M PR(PET) and CMR seem comparable and very accurate; therefore, although quantitative CMR is clinically useful, further refinements are still required.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-Resolution Magnetic Resonance Myocardial Perfusion Imaging at 3.0-Tesla to Detect Hemodynamically Significant Coronary Stenoses as Determined by Fractional Flow Reserve
Tim Lockie,Masaki Ishida,Divaka Perera,Amedeo Chiribiri,Kalpa De Silva,Sebastian Kozerke,Michael S. Marber,Eike Nagel,Reza Rezavi,Simon Redwood,Sven Plein,Sven Plein +11 more
TL;DR: High-resolution CMR MPR at 3.0-T can be used to detect flow-limiting CAD as defined by FFR, using both visual and quantitative analyses.
