Identification of vulnerable plaques and patients by intracoronary near-infrared spectroscopy and ultrasound (PROSPECT II)

29 Mar 2021

This is the first prospective natural history study to evaluate the utility of comprehensive intravascular imaging with both IVUS and NIRS in predicting future adverse events following acute myocardial infarction.

Percutaneous coronary intervention for vulnerable coronary atherosclerotic plaque

30 Nov 2020

Do you have any experience with NIRS technology? Do you think that use of 3rd generation DES would have shown better results than BVS? Read this review by S. Brugaletta

Association of intra-arrest transport vs continued on-scene resuscitation with survival to hospital discharge among patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA)

04 Nov 2020

This multicentre time-dependent propensity score–matched cohort study was designed to evaluate the impact of intra-arrest transport as compared to continued on-scene resuscitationon survival to hospital discharge among patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

MIRTOS trial: Ticagrelor versus Clopidogrel in patients with STEMI treated with thrombolysis

07 Aug 2020

The MIRTOS trial, which included STEMI patients receiving DAPT and thrombolysis ‘together’, aimed to evaluate whether ticagrelor could improve microvascular perfusion and reduce MACE compared to clopidogrel

Cangrelor, Tirofiban and Chewed or Standard Prasugrel Regimens in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Primary Results of the FABOLUS FASTER Trial

15 Jul 2020

The results of the FABOLUS FASTER trial clearly highlight that a high residual platelet reactivity persists when targeting platelet activation by inhibition of the P2Y12 receptor either with Prasugrel or Cangrelor, while tackling the mechanism of platelet adhesion thought the inhibition of GPIIB/IIIA might almost completely...

Subcutaneous selatogrel inhibits platelet aggregation in patients with acute myocardial infarction

07 Jul 2020

This study sought to assess the antiplatelet response to selatogrel, a novel subcutaneous reversible P2Y12 receptor antagonist, in patients with AMI.
