Guidelines for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. A report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Assessment of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Cardiovascular Procedures (Subcommittee on Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty).

Abstract: PreambleIt is becoming more apparent each day that despite a strong national commitment to excellence in health care, the resources and personnel are finite. It is, therefore, appropriate that the medical profession examine the impact of developing technology on the practice and cost of medical care. Such analysis, carefully conducted, could potentially impact on the cost of medical care without diminishing the effectiveness of that care.

“…Angiographic lesion morphology before coronary angioplasty was categorized according to the scheme of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force classification. 5) Minimal luminal diameter, percent of diameter stenosis, acute gain, and balloon/vessel ratios were assessed by computerized quantitative angiography. Procedural angiograms were also analyzed for Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade, 6) coronary angioplasty was considered successful if the final percent diameter stenosis was less than 30% with TIMI 3 flow in the absence of death, recurrent ischemia, MI (creatine kinase increase to more than twice the upper limit of normal with or without evidence of new Q waves), or urgent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) during the hospital period.…”

“…In our study we divided the optimum window of routine early intervention post thrombolysis into two groups, a very early group who performed the post thrombolysis intervention [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] hours and an early group who performed the intervention 12-24 hours. Since no other studies were designed to lay bare the assumption that very early revascularization might be superior compared to the early one, within the first 24 hours.…”

“…Angiographic data: Coronary angiography and subsequent needed intervention for the culprit vessel was done for each patient according to the index time of each study group with the following data obtained: Culprit and other vessel affection, site of the lesion, type of the lesion according to AHA/ACC classification system into 3 types A, B and C, [12] the degree of stenosis, thrombus burden, [13] TIMI flow, [14] and myocardial blush grade (MBG) [15] were assessed. N.B.…”

“…The type of angiographic lesion was determined according to ACC/AHA criteria. 10) Procedural success was defined as residual stenosis < 30% in the worse of two orthogonal views, as assessed by quantitative analysis and normal runoff of the contrast medium in the stented vessel, and absence of death, myocardial infarction, and the need for further revascularization procedures during the hospital stay. Statistical analysis: Data are presented as the mean ± SD.…”
