Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of Functionally Nonsignificant Stenosis: 5-Year Follow-Up of the DEFER Study

TL;DR: Five-year outcome after deferral of PCI of an intermediate coronary stenosis based on FFR >/=0.75 is excellent and the risk of cardiac death or myocardial infarction related to this stenosis is <1% per year and not decreased by stenting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fractional Flow Reserve to Determine the Appropriateness of Angioplasty in Moderate Coronary Stenosis A Randomized Trial

TL;DR: Coronary pressure–derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) is an invasive index of stenosis severity that is a reliable substitute for noninvasive stress testing and identifies stenoses with hemodynamic significance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Symptom-onset-to-balloon time and mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated by primary angioplasty.

TL;DR: It is shown that, in patients with STEMI treated by primary angioplasty, symptom-onset-to-balloon time, but not door- to-balloons time, is related to mortality, particularly in non-low-risk patients and in the absence of preprocedural anterograde flow.
Journal ArticleDOI

Angiographic Assessment of Reperfusion in Acute Myocardial Infarction by Myocardial Blush Grade

TL;DR: MBG is a strong angiographic predictor of mortality in patients with TIMI 3 flow after primary angioplasty and should include both TIMi 3 flow and MBG 2 or 3 in the definition of successful reperfusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reperfusion therapy in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction: a randomized comparison of primary angioplasty and thrombolytic therapy.

TL;DR: In this series of patients with AMI who were older than 75 years, primary coronary angioplasty had a significant clinical benefit when compared with IV streptokinase therapy.
