The ideal therapy for treating in-stent restenosis continues to be debated . The pharmacological balloons showed good results in this context, but no direct comparisons available of ...

This prospective randomized study compared aggressive revascularization angiography injuries 50% versus a most conservative revascularization lesions>70%.The primary end point was death, ...

Several studies tested the utility of fractional flow reserve ( FFR ) to assess coronary lesions functionally. The FFR required for its measurement amaximum hyperemia that usually, is ...

Hypothermia improves myocardial ischemia in animals but studies in humans failed to demonstrate benefit to that extent.We admitted 120 patients experiencing anterior-posterior STEMI with up to 6 ...

Bivalirudin reduced mortality and bleeding compared to heparin and glycoprotein IIbIIIa in HORIZONS- AMI study. However there was a higher rate of acute stent thrombosis in patients receiving ...
