NSTEMI (Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction)

Find all the latest content on NSTEMI published on this website.

NSTEMI is considered one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality and its definition and treatment remains challenging requiring specific, adapted responses. Understanding different biomarkers, becoming aware of emerging new agents used in adjunctive pharmacotherapy, keeping abreast of advances in imaging techniques as well as the use of invasive imaging and functional assessment is critical. Tools, devices and techniques, and complications such as different types of vascular access or bleeding risks, can also be found here…

Novel Supreme DES with early synchronized antiproliferative drug delivery to inhibit smooth muscle cell proliferation after DES implantation in coronary artery disease: results of the PIONEER III randomized clinical trial

06 May 2021

The PIONEER III trial aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of the biodegradable-polymer sirolimus-eluting Supreme stent compared to durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stent (Xience or Promus), completely releasing the drug by 120 days.
