Why the study?
Does percutaneous coronary intervention improve outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome due to acute saphenous vein graft occlusion?
Does percutaneous coronary intervention improve outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome due to acute saphenous vein graft occlusion?
While acute PCI for infarct-related saphenous vein graft occlusion is technically feasible with good 6-month patency, long-term clinical prognosis remains poor with high rates of death, recurrent MI, and repeat revascularization.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High event rates after PCI for acute SVG occlusion warrant clinical caution; leaves open whether intervention improves outcomes versus medical therapy.
Hoffmann et al. (2010) studied this question.
