Clinical Significance of Collaterals in Chronic Total Occlusions

Again in the bifurcation, less is more.

It has been reported that the two stents technique is not superior to a provisional stent when treating bifurcations. However, the optimal approach to rescue a secondary branch (SB) when initially opting for provisional stenting has not been established.  &nbsp; The aim of this study was to determine angioplasty indication using balloon or stent for<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2012/11/20/n-3788/" title="Read more" >...</a>

The use of a paclitaxel eluting balloon in small vessels

Original title:&nbsp;A Randomized Multicenter Study Comparing a Paclitaxel Drug-Eluting Balloon With a Paclitaxel-Eluting Stent in Small Coronary Vessels. The BELLO (Balloon Elution and Late Loss Optimization) Study&nbsp;Reference:&nbsp;Referencia: Azeem Latib et al J Am Coll Cardiol 2012;()doi:10.1016/j.jacc.2012.09.020 The utility of paclitaxel-eluting balloons to treat in-stent restenosis is known but data for novo lesions is more limited.&nbsp;<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2012/11/16/n-3774/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Drug-Eluting Stents: device without polymers overcomes limitations of first generations stents

The NEXT randomized trial showed the superiority of a polymer-free amphilimus-eluting stent compared to paclitaxel-eluting stents with permanent polymers The NEXT clinical trial (International Randomized Comparison Between DES Limus Carbostent and Taxus Drug-Eluting Stents in the Treatment of De Novo Coronary Lesions), is a multicenter randomized trial (n=296) comparing coronary amphilimus eluting stent Cre8 (CID,<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2012/10/01/n-3935/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Incomplete Revascularization Linked With Mortality in Multivessel Disease Patients

Complete revascularization was defined as a reduction of stenosis to less than 50% in all diseased (&ge; 70% stenosis) lesions in major epicardial coronary vessels at the initial hospitalization or within<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2011/11/29/n-4012/" title="Read more" >...</a>
