| 3 | Biodegradable polymer stents vs second generation drug eluting stents:A meta-analysis and systematic review of randomized controlled trials显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the premise, that biodegradable polymer drug eluting stents(BD-DES) could improve clinical outcomes compared to second generation permanent polymer drug eluting stents(PP-DES), we pooled the data from all the available randomized control trials(RCT) comparing the clinical performance of both these stents.METHODS: A systematic literature search of Pub Med, Cochrane, Google scholar databases, EMBASE, MEDLINE and SCOPUS was performed during time period of January 2001 to April 2015 for RCT and comparing safety and efficacy of BD-DES vs second generation PP-DES. The primary outcomes of interest were definite stent thrombosis, target lesion revascularization, myocardial infarction, cardiac deaths and total deaths during the study period. RESULTS: A total of 11 RCT's with a total of 12644 patients were included in the meta-analysis, with 6598 patients in BD-DES vs 6046 patients in second generation PP-DES. The mean follow up period was 16 mo. Pooled analysis showed non-inferiority of BD-DES, comparing events of stent thrombosis(OR = 1.42, 95%CI: 0.79-2.52, P = 0.24), target lesion revascularization(OR = 0.99, 95%CI: 0.84-1.17, P = 0.92), myocardial infarction(OR = 1.06, 95%CI: 0.86-1.29, P = 0.92), cardiac deaths(OR = 1.07, 95%CI 0.82-1.41, P = 0.94) and total deaths(OR = 0.96, 95%CI: 0.80-1.17, P = 0.71).CONCLUSION: BD-DES, when compared to second generation PP-DES, showed no significant advantage and the outcomes were comparable between both the groups. | Bhavi Pandya Sainath Gaddam Muhammad Raza Deepak Asti Nikhil Nalluri Thomas Vazzana Ruben Kandov James Lafferty | 2016 | World Journal of Cardiology2016，8，2： | 0 |
| 4 | Rare case of coronary to pulmonary vein fistula with coronary steal phenomenon显示文摘Coronary artery fistulas are abnormal connections between coronary artery territories and cardiac chambers or major vessels,most of them are congenital.Patients with coronary artery fistula can be asymptomatic or present with different symptoms like angina.Cardiac computed tomography(CT)is one of the best modalities for diagnosis.We present an elderly patient that presented with angina symptoms,non invasive stress test was positive for ischemic heart disease,coronary angiogram could not reveal any obstructive lesions,but an abnormal branch of the left descending coronary artery(LAD),cardiac CT showed fistula that connect left anterior descending coronary artery to left superior pulmonary vein.Our case is extremely rare as most of the reported cases were fistulas between LAD and pulmonary artery,but in our case the fistula between LAD and left superior pulmonary vein.In addition,our patients’symptoms resolved with anti-ischemic medical treatment without any surgical intervention. | Emad A Barsoum Faisal B Saiful Deepak Asti Rewais Morcus Georges Khoueiry James Lafferty Donald A McCord | 2014 | World Journal of Cardiology2014，6，7： | 0 |
