Section of Cardiology
Background: There has been an increase in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) patients without standard modifiable risk factors i.e. hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and tobacco use (SMuRFless) compared to the patients with ≥ 1 SMuRF but this has not been studied in South Asia despite them being a high-risk population. We conducted a comparative analysis of first episodes of ACS cases admitted to a tertiary cardiac center in Pakistan between SMuRFless and ≥ 1 SMuRF patients for clinical presentation, management, in-hospital, and 5-year mortality.
Methods: We undertook a retrospective study and data of 15,051 patients admitted at Tabba Heart Institute (THI) with …
Periprocedural And In-Hospital Outcomes Among Percutaneous Coronary Intervention In Saphenous Vein Graft: A Retrospective Observational Study At A Tertiary Care Hospital In South Asian Country, Abdul Baqi, Sheema Saadia
Periprocedural And In-Hospital Outcomes Among Percutaneous Coronary Intervention In Saphenous Vein Graft: A Retrospective Observational Study At A Tertiary Care Hospital In South Asian Country, Abdul Baqi, Sheema Saadia
Section of Cardiology
Background: Saphenous vein graft (SVG) may occlude either early or several months to years after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Doing re-do CABG surgery is associated with higher complication and mortality rate as compared to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in SVG. However, PCI of SVG is associated with more periprocedural and in-hospital complications as compared to PCI of native coronary arteries. Due to the scarcity of local data in this regard, this study was designed to estimate the periprocedural and in-hospital outcomes among PCI in SVG.
Objectives: We aim to study the periprocedural and in-hospital outcomes among patients who …
