The bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BRS) technology constitutes the new revolution of the coronary artery disease interventional treatment. Currently, three distinct types of BRSs are available but only one, the Absorb BVS, was on the market in 2013 when the Regional Commission for Medical Devices
A retrospective epidemiological study on the first episode of stroke in young adults aged 15-44 years was carried out in the territory of the Local Health Unit No. 9 in Reggio Emilia (46,491 km2), Italy, from 1987 to 1989. 29 patients were identified: 17 were affected with cerebral infarction and 12
BACKGROUND
In-hospital mortality of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) in different European populations and renal dysfunction is variable. We aimed to evaluate in-hospital mortality for MI in chronic kidney disease (CKD), in end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and in subjects admitted for MI
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to better delineate the characteristics, treatments and outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndromes in Emilia Romagna, a region of Italy, with 4 million inhabitants.
METHODS
From January 10 to March 12, 2000, we performed a prospective survey (24/27
BACKGROUND
Limited data are available for sirolimus eluting stent (SES) implantation in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
OBJECTIVE
To confirm the safety and effectiveness of SES in patients with STEMI in a real-world scenario (multicentric registry).
METHODS
From
OBJECTIVE
This study sought to evaluate the impact of an inter-hospital transfer strategy on treatment times and in-hospital and 1 year cardiac mortality of patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous intervention (p-PCI) in the Italian
BACKGROUND
Recent Italian legislative directives have focused on lowering health-service costs and improving the quality of health care. The AI-CARE study on unstable angina represents the initial observational step in a survey on health-care quality in the Italian region
BACKGROUND
The assessment of the regional network for ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) is fundamental for quality assurance. Since 2011 all Italian Health Authorities, in addition to hospital discharge records (HDR), must provide a standardized information flow (ERD) about
BACKGROUND
Long-term outcomes of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) with sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) compared to paclitaxel-eluting-stents (PES) in unselected diabetics in routine practice is still debated.
OBJECTIVE
This study compared the 2-year incidence of MACE (all-cause mortality,
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the implementation of the interhospital network focused on reperfusion of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) on the activity of intensive cardiac care units (ICCUs) of the Emilia-Romagna Region (Italy).
METHODS
From the
BACKGROUND
The long-term effectiveness of drug eluting stents (DESs) in a real-world setting of female patients is currently unclear.
RESULTS
We analyzed long-term follow-up (up to 3 years) data from all female patients with de novo lesions enrolled in a prospective web-based multicenter registry
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to analyze the characteristics and outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in relation to country of origin.
METHODS
The study population included patients living in the Emilia-Romagna Region and discharged from 2012 to 2014 with a diagnosis of
BACKGROUND
An observational, non-comparative, prospective, surveillance study of individuals vaccinated with the MF59-adjuvanted A/H1N1 influenza vaccine, Focetria, (Novartis Vaccines & Diagnostics, Siena, Italy), was performed in Italy during the 2009 A/H1N1 influenza pandemic.
METHODS
This study
The impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on the outcome of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is uncertain. We aimed to evaluate the effect of renal dysfunction (defined by ICD-9-CM codification) on in-hospital mortality for PE. We considered all cases of PE (first event) recorded in the database of
Background: The service strategy (same-day transfer between the spoke hospital and the hub center with catheterization laboratory facility to perform invasive procedures) has been shown to improve the management of patients with
