Predilatation before stent implantation in patients undergoing saphenous vein graft PCI for acute coronary syndrome was associated with improved reperfusion and higher rates of TIMI 3 flow.
Does predilatation before stent implantation improve post-procedural TIMI 3 flow in patients with ACS undergoing SVG PCI?
Predilatation before stent implantation during SVG PCI for ACS is associated with improved angiographic reperfusion, with potential additional benefit from GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors.
Tasa de eventos absoluta: 0% vs 0%
In patients with ACS undergoing SVG PCI, predilatation before stent implantation was associated with improved reperfusion, as reflected by higher rates of post-procedural TIMI 3 flow. The use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GP IIb/IIIa) inhibitors was associated with additional protection. Larger prospective studies are warranted.
