  • Gastrointestinal bleeding and outcomes after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
    American Journal of Critical Care, 2011
    Co-Authors: Su Kiat Chua, Chao Sheng Liao, Huei Fong Hung, Jun Jack Cheng, Chiung Zuan Chiu, Shih Huang Lee, Sheng Chang Lin, Jer Young Liou, Che Ming Chang, Huey Ming Lo
    Abstract:

    Background Gastrointestinal bleeding is a hemorrhagic complication after primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Objectives To determine predictors of gastrointestinal bleeding and the impact of gastrointestinal bleeding on outcomes in STEMI patients undergoing primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. Methods and Results: Gastrointestinal bleeding occurred in 18 (3.5%) of 519 consecutive patients with STEMI undergoing primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. Univariate predictors of gastrointestinal bleeding were previous gastrointestinal bleeding (33% vs 4%, P < .001), impaired renal function (89% vs 37%, P

  • effectiveness and safety of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention after fibrinolytic therapy for st segment elevation acute myocardial infarction
    American Journal of Cardiology, 2011
    Co-Authors: Suzanne J Baron, Robert P Giugliano
    Abstract:

    The goal of treatment of an acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is the timely restoration of myocardial blood flow to decrease myocardial necrosis and thereby preserve cardiac tissue and overall function. Mainstays of reperfusion treatment include fibrinolytic therapy and/or primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. In those patients who are treated with fibrinolysis, there is debate as to whether and when they should also undergo subsequent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. In conclusion, the investigators review the published reports on systematic Percutaneous Coronary Intervention after fibrinolytic therapy in the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and discuss the rationale behind this treatment strategy.
