Creatinine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB) to creatinine kinase (CK) ratio for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in the era of the universal definition

Although serum troponin level is the gold standard under the universal definition of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), serum creatinine kinase (CK) and creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB) is still measure...

Development of a simple prediction model for mechanical complication in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Mechanical complication (MC) is a rare but serious complication in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Although several risk factors for MC have been reported, a prediction model ...

Determinants of serious in-hospital complications in patients with Killip class 1/2 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Killip classification has been used to stratify the risk of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). There were many reports that Killip class 3 or 4 is closely associated with poor clinical outcomes. ...

Lifetime management of severely calcified coronary lesions: the treatment algorithm focused on the shape of calcification

The concept of lifetime management has not been discussed in the field of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), because the durability of drug-eluting stent (DES) is considered to be long enough for most p...

Association of peak C-reactive protein with long-term clinical outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction

Peak C-reactive protein (CRP) levels following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are associated with left ventricular thrombus formation or cardiac rupture. However, the impact of peak CRP on ...

Comparison of in-hospital outcomes of acute myocardial infarction between patients with cardiogenic shock and with cardiac arrest

In-hospital mortality of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated with cardiogenic shock (CS) remains high. Also, in-hospital mortality of AMI complicated with cardiac arrest (CA) has been reported to be ...

Long-term outcomes of the modest stent expansion strategy for the culprit lesion of acute myocardial infarction

Slow flow during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a common complication. Our group showed that the stent (or post-balloon) diameter-to-vessel diameter ratio was inversely associated with slo...

Comparison of the cost in percutaneous coronary intervention between ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction vs. non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a standard strategy for non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) as well as for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The device cost fo...

Clinical factors associated with slow flow in left main coronary artery-acute coronary syndrome without cardiogenic shock

Since slow flow can be a fatal complication in left main coronary artery (LMCA)-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients, it should be important to anticipate and prepare slow flow during primary PCI for LMCA-AC...
