Stent MGuard, primary angioplasty with a higher TIMI III

Original title:&nbsp;The MASTER Trial &#8211; Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter Evaluation of a Polyethylene Terephthalate Micronet Mesh&ndash;Covered Stent (MGuard) in ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.&nbsp;Reference:&nbsp;Gregg W. Stone et. al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2012; 60: 1975-1984 Primary angioplasty has proven effective in restoring epicardial flow but myocardial perfusion is often suboptimal. One of the main mechanisms is distal<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2012/11/19/n-3781/" title="Read more" >...</a>

In patients with stroke history, Ticagrelor is superior to Clopidogrel

James SK, Storey RF, Khurmi N, et al. Ticagrelor versus Clopidogrel in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes and a History of Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack. Circulation 2012. A sub-analysis of the PLATO study demonstrated similar superiority and the safety of ticagrelor in all patients, regardless of any previous history of stroke.

Complete revascularization was defined as a reduction of stenosis to less than 50% in all diseased (&ge; 70% stenosis) lesions in major epicardial coronary vessels at the initial hospitalization or within<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2011/11/29/n-4012/" title="Read more" >...</a>
