Bypass patients outlive those who get stents: study - Yahoo! News
news.yahoo.com — “From Yahoo! News: CHICAGO (Reuters) - Patients with blocked coronary arteries who opt for heart bypass surgery appear to live longer than those who choose a less-invasive stent procedure, according to a large study comparing the two treatments. The study found that among patients who had an angioplasty procedure, in which the surgeon clears the blockage using an instrument threaded into the artery and then inserts a wire-mesh stent to keep the vessel open, 20.8 percent died in the first four yea” View full resource at news.yahoo.com

Nearly 10 percent of patients undergoing procedure such as balloon angioplasty or stent placement readmitted to hospital within 30 days
sciencedaily.com — “In an analysis of the outcomes for more than 15,000 patients who underwent a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI; procedures such as balloon angioplasty or stent placement used to open narrowed coronary arteries), nearly one in 10 were readmitted to the hospital within 30 days, and these patients had a higher risk of death within one year, according to a new study. Various factors were associated with hospital readmission, including female sex, Medicare insurance, unstable angina and others.” View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Angioplasty with stents may be safe in long-term for low-risk heart patients
sciencedaily.com — “Heart bypass surgery is considered the gold standard for most patients with left main coronary artery disease, one of the most serious types of heart disease and one that affects thousands. But a new study reports favorable long-term outcomes for lower-risk patients with this condition who underwent angioplasty with medication-coated stents, rather than bypass surgery.” View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Study examines outcomes of erythropoietin use for heart attack patients undergoing PCI
eurekalert.org — “Intravenous administration of epoetin alfa, a product that stimulates red blood cell production, to patients with heart attack who were undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI; procedures such as balloon angioplasty or stent placement used to open narrowed coronary arteries), did not provide reduction in the size of the heart muscle involved and was associated with higher rates of adverse cardiovascular events, according to a study in the May 11 issue of JAMA.” View full resource at eurekalert.org

Symposier - Heart Bypass Surgery less common today than a decade ago
symposier.com — “Uploaded and shared in Youtube by: TheJAMAReport --" Restoring blood flow to blocked arteries in the heart may require either undergoing major surgery or less invasive procedures involving the use of a balloon or metal tubing called stents to help re-open the arteries. A new study reveals that coronary bypass surgery has declined in recent years even though more U-S hospitals are performing the procedure and it is being increasingly replaced by these other less invasive therapeutic options.
