Residual platelet reactivity, thrombus burden and myocardial reperfusion in patients treated by PCI after successful pre-hospital fibrinolysis compared to primary PCI
We compared residual platelet reactivity and post PCI atherothrombotic burden using OFDI in patients successfully treated by primary PCI versus pharmacoinvasive approach (PI) defined as PCI after successful pr...

Open AccessSystematic review and meta-analysis of the prognostic impact of cancer among patients with acute coronary syndrome and/or percutaneous coronary intervention
Patients with cancer admitted for an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) represent a growing and high-risk population. The influence of co-existing cancer on mortality...

Plaque erosion versus rupture characterization by optical frequency domain imaging before and after coronary stenting following successful fibrinolysis for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
Intracoronary thrombus burden affects the quality of myocardial reperfusion in the setting of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We aimed to study the characteristics of the plaque and thrombus assess...

Open AccessPrehospital fibrinolysis versus primary percutaneous coronary intervention in ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the preferred reperfusion strategy in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but its benefit over prehospital fibrinolysis (FL) is not cl...

Oral diclofenac combined with intra-portal pirarubicin: increased efficacy on liver VX2 tumour and hepatotoxicity in rabbits
VX2 is a carcinoma established in rabbits and producing an autocrine growth factor, prostaglandin E2. Pirarubicin is a potent anti-VX2 agent. We investigated whether the oral intake of enprostil—a synthetic prost...
