Process of Microvascular Dysfunction

Andrew JS Coats, Bernard De Bruyne

Overview

This peer-to-peer series is dedicated to evaluating microvascular dysfunction following myocardial infarction – an important cause of mortality and morbidity post primary-PCI.

Although epicardial coronary blood flow is restored after almost all PCI procedures, perfusion of the coronary microvasculature is not fully restored in approximately half of patients. In this series of bitesize interviews, Prof Gregg Stone (Professor of Medicine, Professor of Population Health Sciences and Policy, and Director of Academic Affairs, Mount Sinai) examines this unmet need with help from a celebrated faculty of experts. Together, they will be covering everything from pathophysiology of microvascular dysfunction to current approaches to restoring microvascular perfusion post primary-PCI.

These shorter videos are ideal for those who are time-poor, or prefer to consume their education in short chunks. Don’t miss this unique overview from some of the world’s leading experts.

Part 1

Morbidity of Patients Post AMI/STEMI

In part A, Prof Gregg Stone and Prof Colin Berry explore why we see such a notable lack of myocardial salvage after primary PCI and how microvascular dysfunction impacts patient outcomes. In part B, Prof Gregg Stone and Prof Colin Berry consider the importance of infarct size and microvascular obstruction on patient outcomes.

Part 3

Mechanisms of Microvascular Dysfunction and Reperfusion Injury

In this extended video, Prof Gregg Stone speaks with Dr Michael Gibson about reperfusion injury – the causes of it and its role in preventing blood flow to the myocardium. They also discuss common methods to assess the extent and complexity of infarct following PCI.

Part 4

Current Approaches for Restoring Viable Microcirculation

In part a, Prof Gregg Stone and Prof Adrian Banning discuss the current approaches in restoring viable microcirculation highlighting which pharmacological approaches play a role and discussing the two main device-based strategies. In part b, Prof Gregg Stone and Prof Adrian Banning discuss where the warning signs will be and how IMR will differ between patients.

Process of Microvascular Dysfunction

In this final video, Prof Gregg Stone and Dr Bernard De Bruyne discuss the process of microvascular obstruction and why the fusion to the microvascular might not be present after primary PCI.
