Summary: An analysis of National Health Insurance data in Korea showed that pre-existing depression does not have a significant impact on mortality in patients with established coronary artery disease undergoing PCI. However, younger patients with angina and depression may have a higher risk of all-cause mortality.

Summary: This study compared in-hospital mortality and 30-day readmission rates between patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) and patients with STEMI without SCAD undergoing PPCI. The results showed that PPCI, when indicated in patients with STEMI and SCAD, has similar in-hospital mortality and 30-day readmission rates compared with PPCI for atherothrombotic STEMI. These findings support the value of PPCI in selected patients with SCAD.

Summary: This study found that higher levels of sCD40L predict an increased risk of acute coronary events and coronary restenosis among patients with ACS or CCS undergoing PCI, but not of mortality.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the 'jailed semi-inflated balloon technique' (JSIBT) for side branch (SB) protection in STEMI patients undergoing emergent percutaneous coronary intervention. The use of JSIBT provided better SB protection and had a similar rate of SB complications compared with those using or not using SB wire.

Summary: The use of a single transradial guiding catheter (STGC) in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery lesions can reduce door-to-balloon time as well as catheterization laboratory door-to-balloon, procedural, and fluoroscopy times. More patients in the STGC group achieved the D2B time goal within 90 minutes and 60 minutes. Radial artery perforation occurred less frequently in the STGC group, and the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 30 days was similar between the two groups.

Summary: Coronary embolism is a rare cause of acute myocardial infarction that is not related to atherosclerosis, and it is primarily caused by atrial fibrillation. We present a rare case of coronary embolism with a unique pearl-like embolus associated with atrial fibrillation. In this patient, we successfully used a balloon-based technique to remove the embolus from the coronary artery.

Summary: The study established a reproducible myocardial infarction model in pigs with a low mortality rate and significant changes in left ventricular function. By administering an arrhythmia prevention regimen, a percutaneous MI was induced in pigs, with assessments conducted using echocardiograms and the NOGA system.

Summary: Periprocedural myocardial injury and myocardial infarction are common complications of percutaneous coronary intervention, associated with increased short- and long-term mortality. Inflammation levels before, during, and after the procedure are linked to higher rates of myonecrosis and future cardiovascular events. In addition to inflammation from underlying coronary disease, PCI itself triggers an acute inflammatory response.

Summary: The use of biomarkers in diagnosing myocardial infarction is well-established, but their value in identifying postoperative myocardial infarction after coronary artery bypass grafting is less understood. The release mechanisms of cardiac biomarkers, such as cTn, after CABG are not fully understood, making interpretation of postoperative increases in cTn concentrations complicated. Future studies are needed to determine the prognostic influence of biomarker release in general and postoperative myocardial infarction in particular.

Summary: Patients with atrial fibrillation have a lower incidence of right coronary artery involvement and generally less severe coronary artery disease compared to non-AF patients. The 2MACE score is associated with left anterior descending artery obstruction and identifies patients with severe CAD.

Summary: Colchicine may play a key role in the prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with stable and unstable coronary artery disease, as it is associated with a reduction in the rate of myocardial infarction and other major cardiovascular outcomes.

Summary: The prognostic importance of cardiac procedural myocardial injury and myocardial infarction (MI) in chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is still debated. Post-PCI cTn elevation of >= 5 x 99th percentile URL used to define Type 4a MI is associated with increased 1-year mortality in CCS patients with normal baseline cTn levels.

Summary: We compared the outcomes of NSTEMI patients who underwent successful stent implantation based on their pre-PCI TIMI grade and SBT time. We found that shortening the SBT time may benefit the survival of NSTEMI patients. The outcomes differed between the pre-PCI TIMI 0/1 group and the TIMI 2/3 group.

Summary: This study evaluated the risk of late mortality and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events in patients with prior percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The results showed that multiple prior PCIs increased the risk of myocardial infarction and repeat revascularization, but not mortality.

Summary: Simultaneous thrombosis in multiple coronary arteries is a rare finding in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. It is difficult to detect using 12-lead electrocardiography and often leads to cardiogenic shock and fatal outcomes. Immediate revascularization and mechanical circulatory support are necessary.
