1.0: oversized stents). MACE rates during PCI, hospitalization length, and follow-up findings were compared between the groups. Additionally, the effects of the embolic protection device (EPD) on MACE were assessed.
Results: Oversized stenting was associated with increased cardiac enzymes (P=0.035) during hospitalization but was not associated with more MACE or restenosis on follow-up. Statistical analysis demonstrated nonsignificant more revascularization in the oversized group mainly due to unknown vessel revascularization and non-target vessel revascularization (P=0.167 and P=0.108, respectively). There were no differences in other MACE outcomes. The EPD was used in 25% of the patients. By comparison with the group without the EPD, there was no decrease in MACE components except a higher incidence of heart failure in the EPD group (P=0.03).
Conclusions: Aggressive stent expansion in SVG lesions resulted in higher myocardial injury; and unlike native arteries, there was no improvement in target vessel revascularization rates at follow-up. (Iranian Heart Journal 2022; 23(1): 85-94)]]>

24 nmol/L) compared with an odds ratio of 0.89 (95% CI, 0.24 to 3.30) for tertile 2 (16–24 nmol/L) and tertile 1 (<16 nmol/L) designated as the reference (P=0.05), indicating near statistical significance.
Conclusions: In assessing a child with newly diagnosed DCM or other congenital heart diseases, VDD and electrolyte imbalances should be promptly screened to avert the precipitating decompensation of the cardiovascular function. (Iranian Heart Journal 2022; 23(1): 160-171)]]>
