“…However, the myocardial troponin concentration has not been used properly to monitor the damage to myocardial cells after successful PCI. 4,[15][16][17][18] Myocardial troponin is a protein controlling myocardial contraction and is not detected in the blood under normal conditions. Because it is cardiac specific, it can be used as an indicator of myocardial damage and is more sensitive and specific to myocardial cell damage than CK-MB.…”

“…In terms of laboratory repercussion, the worst finding of the 3 mentioned was occlusion of the side branches identified as the only variable independently associated with the elevation in all markers after stent implantation; however, its negative prognostic impact on the occurrence of major events was not confirmed on Cox regression. Since the initial investigations by Abdelmeguid et al 1,27 , later confirmed by other researchers 11,28 , the occlusion of secondary branches is one of the most frequent factors related to postintervention myonecrosis.…”

“…Minor necrosis could result from microembolization from the site of dilation3 or from sidebranch occlusion during coronary angioplasty. 16 In this latter study, during PTCA performed on 21 patients, all 6 patients with silent side-branch occlusion had increased CK-MB concentrations, whereas among the 15 patients without sidebranch occlusion only 1% had slightly increased CK-MB concentrations. On the other hand, supporting the ischemia hypothesis in our study were the short duration of occlusion and the apparently uncomplicated initial course.…”
