CULPRIT: Complete revascularization versus culprit artery of infarct only

Current guidelines suggest treating only the culprit artery of myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation. This prospective and randomized work included 296 patients in 7 centers suffering ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction referred for primary angioplasty randomized to treat only the culprit artery (n = 146) versus complete revascularization (n = 150).&nbsp; In the culprit artery<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2015/06/24/culprit-complete-revascularization-versus-culprit-artery-of-infarct-only/" title="Read more" >...</a>

HYBRID: Hybrid revascularization in patients with multi-vessel

We included 200 patients (100 with hybrid revascularization and 100 with conventional surgery). The complete revascularization rate was similar between both groups (70%). Also, the event-free survival was similar with 92% for conventional surgery group and 89% for the hybrid.

Supervised exercise is as important as revascularization in aortoiliac peripheral artery disease

Original title:&nbsp;Supervised Exercise, Stent Revascularization, or Medical Therapy for Claudication Due to Aortoiliac Peripheral Artery DiseaseThe CLEVER Study.&nbsp;Reference:&nbsp;J Am Coll Cardiol. 2015;65(10):999-1009. Percutaneous revascularization has been effective to treat claudication due to aortoiliac peripheral artery disease. However, supervised exercise can also offer benefits in terms of functional class and quality of life, at least in<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2015/04/14/supervised-exercise-is-as-important-as-revascularization-in-aortoiliac-peripheral-artery-disease/" title="Read more" >...</a>
