Avaliação angiográfica do volume de placa e eventos cardiovasculares após implante de stents coronarianos

Abstract

Background: Plaque volume (PV) is related to major cardiovascular events (MACE) after coronary stent implantation.

A survey of recently published cardiovascular, hematological and pneumological original articles in the Brazilian scientific press

“…Abreu-Silva et al28 evaluated the association between plaque volume before the stenting through angiography and clinical outcomes and conclude that the volume of atheromatous plaques before stenting was higher in patients with MACE on clinical follow-up in one year, regardless of other predictors of events. Moriel et al29 endeavored to associate clinical variables with Quality of Life scores in patients with stable coronary artery disease before percutaneous coronary intervention and with unfavorable outcomes, 12 months after the procedure.…”
