[Analysis of immediate and mid-term outcomes of surgical and endoscopic treatment of patients with coronary heart disease and multiple lesions of coronary arteries].

The study included retrospective analysis of the results of treatment in 529 patients with CHD and multiple coronary lesions divided into 2 groups. Group 1 included 280 patients who underwent surgical myocardial revascularization, group 2 comprised 249 patients after coronary stenting. The groups did not significantly differ in the occurrence of serious clinical complications (death, acute myocardial infarction) in both early and mid-late postoperative periods. Patients in group 2 more frequently suffered anginal attacks and required repeat myocardial revascularization. The main factor limiting clinical efficiency of endovascular procedures was coronary restenosis in roughly 34% of the patients.

[The influence of acetyltransferase activity phenotype on the frequency of in-stent restenosis in patient with CHD].

Coronary artery stenting is a priority treatment of different forms of coronary heart disease. Hence, the importance of intrastent restenosis. This study demonstrates the relationship between acetylation rate and frequency of restenosis following coronary stenting with special reference to patients with chronic coronary heart disease. This knowledge may be helpful for the improvement of endovascular treatment using drug-coated stents.
