Predictors and prognostic value of myocardial injury following stent implantation

Prognostic value of troponin after elective percutaneous coronary intervention: A meta‐analysis

“…Twenty studies were included in our analysis [10,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]21,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][34][35][36], concerning 17 prospectively and 3 retrospectively performed studies. These studies were published between 1998 and 2007.…”

Cardiac Remote Ischemic Preconditioning in Coronary Stenting (CRISP Stent) Study

“…[5][6][7]9 A postprocedure increase in cTnI concentration of Ͼ5-fold baseline levels is an independent predictor of a composite of death, MI, and revascularization at 1 year (hazard ratio, 2.39; 95% CI, 1.09 to 5.26). 7 Gadolinium late enhancement with cardiac magnetic resonance has demonstrated that procedural cTnI release is due to MI both downstream of the stented lesion and adjacent to the implanted stent.…”

“…[2][3][4] A number of studies have demonstrated that procedure-related troponin release is associated with subsequent cardiovascular events. [5][6][7][8][9] …”

Prognostic importance of troponin T and creatine kinase after elective angioplasty

“…Despite the high sensitivity and specificity of troponin in acute coronary syndromes, there are conflicting results about the prognostic significance of increased troponin after elective percutaneous coronary intervention [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. However, most studies report International Journal of Cardiology 120 (2007) 242 -247 www.elsevier.com/locate/ijcard only a small number of patients [9][10][11][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Moreover, some studies include also patients with an acute coronary syndrome, which could have influenced the results [8,16,21].…”
