Background: Many clinical and paraclinical studies related to coronary artery disease have been done in Vietnam in recent years. However, there have been no studies on nurses’ knowledge and practice regarding patient care after coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study was conducted to assess nurses' knowledge and practice on patient’s safety after CAG or PCI and its associated factors. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2019 to June 2020 at the Department of Internal Cardiology, Interventional Cardiology, Intravascular Intervention, and Intensive care unit/Coronary care unit in three general and specialist hospitals in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam. 167 nurses who have taken care of patients after CAG or PCI were included in the study through using convenient sampling technique. A translated self-administered questionnaire was utilised. This self-reported survey achieved 100% response rate. Statistical analysis was performed by the Chi-square test (X2). Statistical significance level was at p<0.05 to determine factors related to nurses’ knowledge and practice. Prevalence ratio (PR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were also used to measure the association. Results: The study findings revealed that only 36% of the study sample had a good knowledge while 78% of them had a good practice on patient’s safety after CAG or PCI. There were association between educational level, working place with the knowledge (PR=1.87-1.92, p<0.01) and practice (PR=1.18-1.35, p<0.05) on patient’s safety after CAG or PCI among Vietnamese nurses. Besides those factors, the number of years working in cardiac specialty were also found to have an association with the practice. A moderately positive correlation between the knowledge and the practice towards patient‘s safety after CAG or PCI has been identified in this study (PR=1.27, 95% CI [1.09 – 1.47], p=0.005). Conclusions: More than a half of the study sample had poor knowledge but performed good practice in some items of care for patients after CAG or PCI. There was positive association between the knowledge and practice about patient’s safety after CAG or PCI among Vietnamese registered nurses. Educational training programs for staffs working in coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention is recommended to develop.

Coronary artery disease in patients with diabetes is frequently a diffuse process with multivessel involvement and is associated with increased risk for myocardial infarction and death. The role of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with diabetes and multivessel disease who require revascularisation has been debated and remains uncertain. The debate has been continued mainly because of the question to what degree an increased risk for in-stent restenosis among patients with diabetes contributes to other late adverse outcomes. This article reviews outcomes from early trials of balloon angioplasty versus CABG through later trials of bare-metal stents versus CABG and more recent data with drug-eluting stents as the comparator. Although not all studies have been powered to show statistical significance, the results have been generally consistent with a mortality benefit for CABG versus PCI, despite differential risks for restenosis with the various PCI approaches. The review also considers the impact of mammary artery grafting of the left anterior descending artery and individual case selection on these results, and proposes an algorithm for selection of patients in whom PCI remains a reasonable strategy.

Penyakit jantung koroner adalah penyakit yang dapat mengancam kehidupan seseorang. Pelaksanaan tindakan non bedah intervensi koroner perkutan pasien masih memiliki risiko terjadinya serangan berulang, stenosis dan ancaman kematian. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikasi kualitas hidup pasien pascatindakan intervensi koroner perkutan. Desain penelitian ini adalah potong lintang. Pengambilan sampel secara consecutive samplingdidapatkan 50 responden yaitu pasien yang sedang kontrol pascaintervensi coroner per kutan di Poliklinik Spesialis Jantung RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung, penelitian ini dilakukan pada 1-14 November 2013. Kualitas hidup diukur dengan instrumen WHOQOL-BREFdengan empat domain kualitas hidup yaitu domain fisik, psikologis, sosial, dan lingkungan. Analisis menggunakan statistik deskripsi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa responden memiliki kualitas hidup baik sebesar 50%. Perawat memiliki peran dalam membantu pasien mencapai kualitas hidup yang optimal, diantaranya melalui peningkatan efikasi diri pasien melalui pendampingan dan pemberian informasi dalam usaha mencapai kualitas hidup.Kata kunci:Intervensi koroner perkutan, kualitas hidup, WHOQOL-BREF AbstractCoronary heart disease is a disease that can threaten person’s life, and can lead to the change of the quality of life. This coronary heart disease can be solved with non-surgical called percutaneous coronary intervention. This action will be normalized the quality of perfusion in the coronary arteries, which would certainly have an impact on the quality of life of patients. The research objective was to observe the patient of quality of life after treatment on intervention percutaneous coronary. The research design was cross sectional. There were 50 respondents taken by consecutive sampling. Data were collected in outpatient room in RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung, who have came with treatment routine schedule after percutaneous coronary intervention during November 1st–14th 2013. The questionnaire use WHOQOL-BREF format with 26 questions that consisting of 4 domains of quality of life: physical domain, psychological domain, social domain, and environment domain. Majority of patients were male (74 %), with the range of age mostly 56-66 years ( 34 % ), married ( 96 % ), college education was the highest ( 66 % ), the majority had not a primary job like as housewife , retired, student, etc. ( 26 % ). Data were collected using the questionnaire WHOQOL – BREF. The result have shown that rates of quality of life was good ( 50 % ) and health condition after percutaneous coronary intervention neither satisfied nor dissatisfied ( 44 % ). Nurses have a role in helping patients achieve optimal quality of life like giving information to patient correctlyKey words: Percutaneous coronary intervention, quality of life, WHOQOL – BREF

AbstractChronic total occlusion (CTO) is a common challenge accounting for 10% of coronary lesions found on coronary angiography. Patients are frequently referred for bypass surgery because percutaneous coronary intervention is challenging in this subset. Recent advances in the hardware as well as the technical expertise and an algorithm approach have improved the success to more than 90%.Antegrade approach is the cornerstone for managing CTO and has two distinct strategies: antegrade wire escalation, and antegrade dissection and reentry strategy. Step-wise approach to perform these procedures and the use of adjunct imaging are discussed.
