{"title":"Clinical utility of self-expanding stents in coronary artery disease","authors":"Aditya R Boddu, Abilash Balmuri, M. Kamalesh","doi":"10.2147/RRCC.S51653","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2147/RRCC.S51653","url":null,"abstract":"The field of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has evolved considerably since the era of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty with stenting has now become one of the cornerstones of treatment for coronary artery disease. The use of third-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) is currently the preferred method of treatment for different indications in patients with coronary artery disease. Self-expanding stents are routinely used in peripheral arterial disease, like external iliac and femoropopliteal percutaneous interventions. Self-expanding stents have been in use since the beginning of PCI. Although the first stent deployed was of the self-expanding variety, namely the Wallstent, balloon-expandable stents have become the stents of choice in the coronary arteries. The role of self-expanding stents in modern PCI is continuously evolving. This review discusses the utility of self-expanding stents in the treatment of specific subsets of coronary lesions.","PeriodicalId":42306,"journal":{"name":"Research Reports in Clinical Cardiology","volume":"6 1","pages":"117-122"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2015-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2147/RRCC.S51653","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68474425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ferreira","doi":"10.2147/RRCC.S82540","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2147/RRCC.S82540","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Inappropriate settings of atrioventricular (AV) and ventriculo-ventricular (VV) intervals can be one of the factors impacting response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Optimal concordance of AV and VV intervals between echocardiographic-based assessment and a device-based automatic programming with a hemodynamic sensor was investigated, together with left ventricle (LV) reverse remodeling after 6 months of regular automatic device-based optimization. Methods: We evaluated blindly 30 systematic echocardiographic examinations during 6 months in 17 patients (12 men, 64 ± 10 years, in sinus rhythm and New York Heart Association class III; 76% with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, LV ejection fraction [LVEF] , 35%, QRS $ 130 milliseconds and LV dyssynchrony) implanted with the SonRtip lead and a cardio-verter-defibrillator device. Dyssynchrony (AV, VV, or intraventricular) was evaluated by an experienced operator blinded to the device programming, using conventional echocardiography, tissue synchronization imaging, tissue Doppler imaging, radial strain, and 3D echocardiography. Results: Either no AV or VV dyssynchrony (n = 11; 36.7%) or a slight septal or lateral delay (n = 13; 43.3%) was found in most echocardiography examinations (80%). AV or VV dyssynchrony requiring further optimization was identified in one-fifth of the examinations (20%). At 6 months, 76.5% patients were responders with LV reverse remodeling, of which 69% were super-responders (LVEF . 40%). A statistically significant increase in LVEF was observed between baseline and 6 months post implant ( P , 0.01). One patient died from non-cardiac causes. Conclusion: Concordance between echocardiographic methods and device-based hemodynamic sensor optimization was found in most examinations (80%) post CRT. After 6 months of systematic optimization with SonR, patients showed a statistically significant increase in LVEF, with a high rate of reverse remodeling.","PeriodicalId":42306,"journal":{"name":"Research Reports in Clinical Cardiology","volume":"6 1","pages":"97-103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2015-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2147/RRCC.S82540","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68476366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The need for additional therapies to lower the residual risk has led to research on new pharmacological approaches. The discovery of proteins regulating the activity of the low-density lipoprotein receptor has been a major break-through in the development of new cholesterol-lowering drugs. This review describes inhibition of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) as a promising treatment for familial hypercholesterolemia, especially the relatively good short-term safety of PCSK9 inhibitors. In particular, we focus on its additive effect with statins and its advantage as a monotherapy in statin-intolerant patients. The additional low-density lipoprotein cholesterol lowering obtained with PCSK9 inhibition will be able to reduce the additional risk, but its effect on cardiovascular events has to be evaluated in future studies.","PeriodicalId":42306,"journal":{"name":"Research Reports in Clinical Cardiology","volume":"6 1","pages":"73-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2015-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2147/RRCC.S52961","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68474301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
