In the second edition of his widely acclaimed and definitive book, James Tcheng and a panel of authorities have thoroughly updated and revised the first edition with fresh perspectives and the latest scientific and clinical developments in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This edition addresses the relentless movement toward stent implantation during PCI, while incorporating the latest long-term outcomes data from primary PCI literature. Revised chapters discuss the most up-to-date technical approaches to PCI and review recent clinical trials, while outlining the evidence for primary coronary intervention as the standard of care for any patient sustaining an acute myocardial infarction. New chapters provide a glimpse into the future, reviewing the promising new research regarding cell therapies that target the regeneration of myocardium following cell death. Requisite fundamentals for any primary angioplasty program The latest concepts and information Tackles the complexities of reducing door to balloon time Covers options available to primary care hospitalswithout surgical backup Addresses local and regional system and process-related barriers to reperfusion INDICE: Overview, Rationale and Lexicon: Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Acute Myocardial Infarction.- Comparison of Reperfusion Strategies for ST Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction: Primary Coronary Intervention versus Fibrinolysis.- Operator and Site Requirements for Primary Coronary Intervention.- Primary Coronary Intervention: The Technical Approach.- Primary Coronary Intervention in Community Hospitals with Off-Site Cardiac Surgery Backup: Rationale and Steps to Quality.- Reducing System and Process Barriers: The RACE to Improve Door to Balloon Performance.- Rescue Coronary Intervention for Failed Thrombolysis.- Facilitated Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.- Therapies Targeted at Preserving Microvascular Integrity and Preventing Reperfusion Injury.- Platelet Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Receptor Blockade in Primary Coronary Intervention.- Cell Therapy in Acute Myocardial Infarction.- Health Economics of Primary PCI.
