“…9,15 Patients with EPA had a higher probability of developing cardiac events, which is in accordance with findings reported by other authors. 7,15,21 Our findings indicate that patients with EPA have a higher probability of undergoing revascularization procedures than patients without EPA, which is similar to the findings presented by Fioretti et al, 12 but different from those reported by Silva et al 18 Conclusions EPA increases the risk of patients developing cardiac events and undergoing revascularization procedures, and thereby implies an adverse long-term prognosis of patients with AMI. In light of that fact, patients with EPA represent a high-risk subset of patients who might benefit from more aggressive early treatment such as PCI or CABG.…”

“…Although most studies on postinfarction angina pectoris (PIA) were conducted in the prethrombolytic era [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], its incidence does not appear to be reduced by the use of International Journal of Cardiology 115 (2007) 381 -385 www.elsevier.com/locate/ijcard thrombolytic therapy. A large multicenter study has confirmed the adverse prognosis of this patient subgroup [11].…”

Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) has been successfully applied in unstable angina to carefully selected patients. In this study, PTCA was performed in 277 consecutive patients suffering from unstable angina and for whom bypass surgery was not a valid alternative because either of inoperable conditions or of emergency, or because surgery was not the best option. All patients were admitted first to the intensive care unit where an attempt was made to control unstable angina under conventional medical therapy using at least iv nitroderivative, heparin, and calcium blockers. After a standardized preparation PTCA was performed either as an emergency procedure in medically refractory unstable angina (107 cases) or as an elective procedure in controlled situations after a 7 to 10 days symptom-free period. Three hundred fifty-three coronary vessels were attempted. Results of this group are compared with those of a control group made of 670 consecutive stable patients recruited during the same period, and clinical characteristics are envisaged as potential predictive factors. Unstable angina is undoubtedly associated with a higher overall complication rate, but the immediate outcome is strongly affected by the clinical context. As an example, respective success and mortality rates are: 93% and 0% when a full revascularization is attempted; 91% and 0% in elective procedures in patients under 60; 87% and 1.2% in elective PTCA for multiple vessel disease; 80% and 6.5% in emergency PTCA; 80% and 11% in the overall triple vessel disease; 84% and 16% in patients with deeply altered ejection fraction; and 58% and 26% in triple vessel disease with 2 previously occluded coronary arteries.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
