“…Second, the number of patients is small. It could be easily increased if databases with an angiographic Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine DICOM standardized structured reporting, similar to those developed by our group in echocardiography [32,33] would be developed and largely available. Third, the problem of differential diagnosis between CKD and AKI is a major limitation.…”

Background: Patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) on a left main culprit lesion have very high mortality rates. The interaction of chronic kidney disease (CKD) with such a catastrophic acute event on the background of their highly complex atherosclerotic lesions is not well established. Therefore, we sought to evaluate in these patients the influence of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) on short- and long-term mortality. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed renal function in 81 patients with STEMI and PPCI on a left main culprit lesion from two tertiary centers. Results: Patients were divided in two groups according to an eGFR cut-off of 60 mL/min/1.73 m2: 40 patients with CKD and 41 without CKD. Patients with renal failure were older, had more diabetes, and had experienced more frequent myocardial infarction MIs. CKD patients had a higher baseline-SYNTAX score (p = 0.015), higher residual-SYNTAX score (p < 0.001), and lower SYNTAX revascularization index-SRI (p = 0.003). Mortality at 30-day, 1-year, and 3-year follow-ups were not significantly different between the two groups. However, when analyzed as a continuous variable, eGFR emerged as a predictor of 1-year mortality, both in univariate analysis (OR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.95–0.99, p = 0.005) and in multivariate analysis, after adjusting for cardiogenic shock and Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction TIMI 0/1 flow (OR = 0.975, 95% CI: 0.95–0.99, p = 0.021). Conclusions: In STEMI with PPCI on a left main culprit lesion, renal failure was associated with more complex coronary lesions and less complete revascularization, and turned out to be an independent predictor of mortality at 1-year follow-up.

Background/Aim: Spontaneous recanalization of coronary thrombus (SRCT) is a rare in vivo appearance, with a nonspecific angiographic aspect. The aim of this study was to investigate the importance of optical coherence tomography (OCT) use for SRCT identification, characterization of pathogenic mechanisms and optimal treatment. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all patients with angiographic suspicion of SRCT who underwent coronary angiography for suspected coronary artery disease and afterward investigated by OCT imaging. Results: We identified 28 cases with angiographic suspicion of SCRT (0.41% of CA) and confirmed it in 4 patients (0.05% of CA). OCT provided insight about the underlying SRCT mechanism: possible complicated atherosclerotic plaques in two cases and, respectively, spontaneous coronary artery dissection in other two cases. OCT provided accurate lesion assessment and offered optimal PCI materials selection. Conclusion: Besides providing the diagnosis, OCT also improved characterization of SRCT pathogenic mechanisms, in the four confirmed SRCT cases, supporting the role of coronary wall in situ complications, namely dissection of an atherosclerotic plaque or spontaneous dissection of a normal coronary wall.

The medical field at present is an example for appropriate innovation in the information technology sector where it can bring benefits to physicians and patients and also the medical tools to prevent disease. Among the examples of innovation in information technology are in the field of medical imaging technology, laser technology, nanotechnology and others. As we know, medical imaging technology is very important because it can help medical experts in conducting research on patients. A medical image is known as DICOM. DICOM format is unique, it is not only contain the image of the patient, but it also contains information related to the patient. This paper will show the development of software to retrieve the information from the digital x-ray image (DICOM). Software developed using Netbeans and library used was pixelmed library. This software is then tested with a number of patient data. Results showed that the software is able to find the information contained in the patient x-ray images accurately.
