The results of urgent coronary angiography and stenting in the acute coronary syndrome

The acute coronary syndrome is a major cause of hospitalization and high mortality rates. For many there have been ongoing debates years over the treatment method choice and various diagnostic methods. The purpose of the research is to investigate the diagnostic capabilities of emergency coronary angiography and efficacy of transluminal balloon angioplasty with stenting for acute coronary syndrome with lifting and without ST elevation. Results In patients with ACS with ST-segment elevation myocardial contractility was better after thrombolytic therapy, which is appropriate over the first 2 hours of the onset of anginal pain. However, in the group of the patients with ACS with ST-segment elevation violations of local contractility was more common than in the group of patients with ACS without ST-segment elevation. In both groups of patients with ACS the risk of unfavorable outcome did not depend on the number of affected vessels, but on a variant of the syndrome (elevation or without ST elevation). In patients with ACS with ST-segment elevation was significantly more frequently identified hemodynamically significant stenosis of the arteries. In ACS without ST-segment elevation no statistically significant difference in myocardial contractility and risk of unfavorable outcome on the scale of GRACE in groups with single and biarterial coronary disease not obtained. In the case of significant stenoses diagnosed through emergency coronary angiography, emergency balloon angioplasty with stenting is indicated. When there is technical impossibility of angioplasty (excessive tortuosity, occlusion, stenosis of the left main coronary artery, etc.), it is advisable to perform emergency bypass surgery. Discussion and Conclusions The analysis of the treatment results it revealed that timely percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty with stenting in combination with thrombolytic therapy has contributed significantly to improving not only contractility, but also the results of endovascular interventions and reducing the risk of both in-hospital and 6-month mortality. Therefore, only the integrated approach to the delivery of health care will reduce the incidence of necrosis of the heart muscle and improve the treatment results and the quality of the life of patients with ACS.
