Three different guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology cover the field of percutaneous coronary interventions. Their main recommendations are the following:All patients with an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction should undergo immediate coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention as soon as possible after the first medical contact. Thrombolysis can be used as an alternative reperfusion therapy if the time delay to primary percutaneous coronary intervention is more than 2 hoursPatients with very high-risk non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (recurrent or ongoing chest pain, profound or dynamic electrocardiogram changes, major arrhythmias, or haemodynamic instability) should undergo urgent coronary angiography within less than 2 hours after the initial hospital admissionAll moderate- to high-risk (GRACE score >140 or at least one primary high-risk criterion) non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes patients should undergo coronary angiography before discharge; the ideal timing is within 24 hours after admission for high-risk groups, and within 72 hours for moderate-risk groupsOther patients with recurrent symptoms or at least one high-risk criterion should undergo coronary angiography within 72 hours of first presentationLow-risk non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes may be treated conservatively, and the indication for an invasive evaluation can be done, based on the evidence of ischaemia during exercise stress testingStents should be used during all percutaneous coronary intervention procedures, whenever technically feasible. Second-generation drug-eluting stents do not increase stent thrombosis and can be safely used in the ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome settingsTriple pharmacotherapy, consisting of aspirin, thienopyridine antiplatelet agent, and anticoagulation with heparin or bivalirudin, should be used in all percutaneous coronary intervention procedures, with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors added in patients with a high thrombus burden and low bleeding risk

<p><strong>Background and Objectives: </strong>To investigate the effects of atorvastatin (ATV) and trimetazidine (TMZ) combination treatment in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. <strong></strong></p><p><strong>Subjects and Methods: </strong>A total of 92 patients with NSTE-ACS were randomly divided into the pretreatment with ATV group (80mg 12h before PCI, with a further 20mg every day to 30th days after PCI, n=44) or the pretreatment with ATV (as the ATV group) and TMZ (60mg 30min before PCI, with a further 20mg tid to 30th days after PCI, n=48). Echocardiography was executed and plasma N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) levels were measured just prior to the PCI and 30th days after PCI. The main end point was a 30-day incidence of major adverse cardiac events.</p><p><strong>Result: </strong>Major adverse cardiac events occurred in 9.1% of patients in the ATV group and 4.2% of those in the ATV+TMZ group (P=0.189). NT-pro-BNP of the two groups were decreased 30th days after PCI, however, NT-pro-BNP in the ATV+TMZ group were significantly lower than those in the ATV group (P&lt;0.05). Cardiac function in NSTE-ACS patients, as reflected by the increased LVEF, FS as well as decreased LVEDd (P&lt;0.05) in all groups at 30 days after intervention, but cardiac function parameters were more obviously improved in the group administered with ATV+TMZ (p&lt;0.05).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Short-term pretreatment with the combination of ATV and TMZ administration prior to PCI can prominently decrease NT-pro-BNP and improve cardiac function compared to a single administration of the ATV. </p>

Objective: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with the multivessel disease have distinctive plaque characteristics in non-IRA lesions. Intensive statin therapy was a potential approach to treat STEMI patients with the non-IRA disease. However, there is still poor evidence about the therapeutic effect. In this study, we have evaluated the detailed therapeutic effect of statin plus ezetimibe intensive therapy. Method: For STEMI patients with non-IRA disease undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), 183 control STEMI patients without non-IRA disease undergoing primary PCI, and 200 STEMI patients with non-IRA disease undergoing primary PCI were introduced into this study. 200 STEMI patients with non-IRA disease undergoing primary PCI were divided into Normal group, Intensive group, Normal & Combined group, and Intensive & Combined group. The baseline information for each participant was recorded. Meanwhile, the physiological and biochemical indicators of each member with different treatments were collected after one-year follow-up. Result: For STEMI patients with non-IRA disease undergoing primary PCI, no differences could be detected in multiple indexes such as OCT examination results, age, stroke, etc. However, diabetes mellitus, smoking, and coronary Gensini score were different between different groups (P<0.05). After one year follow-up, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, coronary Gensini score, thin-cap fibroatheroma, length of non-infarcted arterial lesions, non-infarct artery lesion range, myocardial infarction again, and revascularization again were significantly different between different groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: The results mentioned above suggested that pitavastatin combined with ezetimibe was an effective approach to STEMI patients with non-IRA disease undergoing primary PCI. The results obtained in this study have provided a novel way for the treatment of STEMI patients with non-IRA disease undergoing primary PCI.
