Intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) has an important role as a complimentary diagnostic tool in percutaneous coronary intervention procedure. IVUS provides valuable information regarding coronary vessel lumen and dimension and also plaque burden and its characteristic. The main use of IVUS in PCI is to guide the choose of interventional strategies to optimize stent deployment. Since drug eluting stent (DES) has promised to decrease the incidence in stent restenosis and stent thrombosis than bare metal stent, but neither the suboptimal results nor the complication after stenting with DES is still high. Thus, optimization of stent deployment under IVUS guidance is important in cases to decrease stent failure after PCI procedure, as well as to decrease complication rate after stenting in order to decrease mortality rate caused by coronary artery disease. We present here the use of IVUS guidance in a 43 and 46 year-old man underwent PCI.

Coronary Artery disease (CAD) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in the developed world as well as in Bangladesh. Treatment of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) patient either by Streptokinase (STK) or Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (pPCI) has increased the survival outcome and reduced the mortality. Several studies have documented the significant beneficial role pPCI in terms of in-hospital survival outcome over thrombolysis.  Our patient, who had Anterior MI in 2004 and his CAG revealed TVD.  pPCI of the culprit mid LAD lesion with Bare Metal Stent (BMS) was done immediately after hospitalization. He was later referred for CABG, but decision postponed because of asymptomatic status. His re-look CAG on 20-02-2008 (i.e., 4 yrs after the original procedure), revealed patent LAD stent with the regression of atherosclerotic plaque in Ostio-Proximal LAD and proximal LCX. Our findings indicated that pPCI with rigid control of CAD risk factors and modification of lifestyle plays a key role in the regression of atherosclerotic plaque and maintenance of stent patency.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/pulse.v4i1.6959Pulse Vol.4 January 2010 p.22-25

The aim of the study is to determine the out comes of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction in NICVD the only government cardiac hospital of Bangladesh where resources are very limited. Total 73 (male 70, female 3) patients were enrolled in this study who were brought in to our hospital with STEMI between August 2010 to October 2013. Average age was 55.6 ±11.78. Primary PCI was performed after transferring patient from Emergency Department to cardiac catheterization laboratory. Cardiovascular risk factors among the studied population were Diabetes mellitus, Hypertension, Smoking, Dyslipidemia and Positive family history for IHD. Primary PCI either with Bare Metal Stent (BMS) or Drug Eluting Stent (DES) were performed in total 42 LAD lesions, 28 RCA lesions and 3 LCX lesions. BMS used were 87.7%, DES used were 12.3%. The procedural success was 95.8%.Four patients (5.4%) died during hospital stay. Out of four patients who died, one had cardiogenic shock. No mortality was observed in the 30 days follow up from discharge, while other complications like unstable angina and congestive heart failure were 5.7% and 4.3% respectively. Our findings suggest favorable outcomes, matching the international data which was achieved in our patients with primary PCI in the management of STEMI despite all the limitations. Primary PCI as a preferred method of reperfusion strategy needs to be practiced more often in our part of world.University Heart Journal Vol. 9, No. 2, July 2013; 83-87

We examined the longitudinal changes of VEGF levels after percutaneous coronary intervention for predicting major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. VEGF was measured in 94 CAD patients’ serum before revascularization, 1-month and 1-year after. Independently of clinical presentation, patients had lower VEGF concentration than a cohort of healthy subjects (median, IQ: 15.9, 9.0–264 pg/mL versus 419, 212–758 pg/mL;P<0.001) at baseline. VEGF increased to 1-month (median, IQ: 276, 167–498 pg/mL;P<0.001) and remained steady to 1-year (median, IQ: 320, 173–497 pg/mL;P<0.001) approaching control levels. Drug eluting stent apposition and previous medication intake produced a less steep VEGF evolution after intervention (P<0.05). Baseline VEGF concentration <40.8 pg/mL conveyed increased risk for MACE in a 5-year follow-up. Results reflect a positive role of VEGF in recovery and support its importance in CAD prognosis.

AbstractObjective: Admission for acute coronary syndrome after successful percutaneous coronary intervention is a delicate situation for the patient and doctor. Predictors of these cases are poorly described.Methods: We retrospectively analysed the files of post-percutaneous coronary intervention patients admitted to the Department of Cardiology of the Institute for Cardiovascular Disease and Heart Transplant in Tirgu Mures between January 2012 and December 2015. Analyses using the t-test, chi-square test, and Fisher test were performed to compare demographics, clinical and angiographic characteristics of patients with acute coronary syndrome, patients with stable angina, and those without symptoms.Results: One hundred eighty post-percutaneous coronary intervention patients were readmitted; 46 patients (25.55%) were readmitted for acute coronary syndrome. Histories of arterial hypertension and renal dysfunction at hospital admission were associated with acute coronary syndrome. Bare metal stent in-stent restenosis and localisation of bare metal stent in-stent restenosis of the left descendent coronary artery were angiographic predictors of acute coronary syndrome.Conclusion: Several clinical and angiographic factors identify patients at high risk for acute coronary syndrome after successful percutaneous coronary intervention. Recognition and treatment of these factors may prevent readmission for such a dangerous condition and may improve outcomes.
