Prognostic impact of complex PCI

Raffaele Piccolo, Giovanni Esposito, et al.

Compared to non-complex PCI, complex PCI was associated with higher risks of myocardial infarction, major bleeding, all-cause death, cardiovascular death, stent thrombosis, target lesion/vessel revascularization, and stroke.

Prognostic impact of HIR criteria in PCI

Valeria Raona, Roxana Mehran, et al.

This study evaluated the prevalence and prognostic impact of guideline-defined high ischaemic risk criteria in a large cohort of chronic coronary syndrome patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. The majority of patients met at least one high-risk criterion, which was associated with increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events.
