Background: Patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) frequently face multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD). The optimal interventional approach remains debated. Objective: To systematically review and analyze the effectiveness and safety of drug-coated ba...

Background: Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) of coronary arteries presents a significant challenge in the management of coronary artery disease (CAD), influencing treatment outcomes and patient prognosis. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) and Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) are two predominant revascularization strategies employed, each...

A minimal surgical procedure called ‘PCI’ (percutaneous coronary intervention) is performed to treat those who have diseases of the coronary arteries. A period of more than three months of entire blockage of a coronary artery results in a ‘CTO’ (chronic total occlusions). The primary goal of the research is to determine the performance of patients...

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of hospital readmissions, presenting significant challenges in healthcare. Comorbid conditions like diabetes and hypertension are prevalent among HF patients and may complicate disease management. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for developing effective intervention strategies. Objective: Th...

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become more complex with the advancement of medical devices. One such device is the rotational atherectomy (RA), which uses a rotating diamond-coated burr to modify calcified lesions. This makes it easier to deliver balloons and stents to specific lesions. However, there is a lack of literature regarding...

Background: Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) presents a significant clinical challenge, particularly in the context of multi-vessel disease (MVD), which complicates patient management and impacts prognosis. The variability in short-term outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for NSTEMI patients with MVD necessita...

Background: The management of triple-vessel disease (TVD) with proximal left anterior descending (PLAD) artery involvement remains a critical challenge in cardiology. Current guidelines advocate for both stent placement and graft surgery, yet evidence supporting the optimal approach is conflicting. Objective This study aims to compare the immediate...
