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…

BYPASS-CTCA: The value of computed tomography cardiac angiography in improving patient satisfaction and reducing contrast load, procedural duration and complications in patients who had previous CABG undergoing invasive coronary angiography

19 Sep 2022

Nicola Ryan provides her take on the BYPASS-CTCA Study which was presented by Daniel A. Jones at the TCT Congress 2022.

It must be understood that the paper has yet to be published for this study therefore all assumptions are based upon the presented data.

Durable polymer vs. biodegradable polymer DES in patients with ACS undergoing complex PCI: A post hoc analysis of the HOST-REDUCE-POLYTECH-ACS trial

30 Aug 2022

The HOST-REDUCE-POLYTECH-ACS trial was a randomised, parallel-group multicentre trial with a 2x2 factorial design testing two independent hypotheses, one of which was the non-inferiority of durable polymer drug-eluting stents (DP-DES) to biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stents (BP-DES) in patients with ACS. In this post-hoc analysis, the authors...

Polymer-based versus polymer-free stents in high bleeding risk patients: final 2-year results from Onyx ONE

08 Jun 2022

The results of this study show that at 2-year follow-up HBR patients undergoing PCI with a polymer-based zotarolimus-eluting stent & 1-month DAPT had similar outcomes in terms of both safety & efficacy to those with a polymer-free biolimus A9-coated stent.
