Almost a quarter-century has passed since the seminal works describing the feasibility of transradial percutaneous coronary intervention (TRI). The message has always been the same… TRI, though technically more challenging,…
Abstract Iatrogenic coronary ostial stenosis following aortic valve replacement (AVR) occurs in up to 3.4% of cases and usually presents within the first 6 months following surgery. We present the…
Abstract Acute renal artery embolism (RAE) is a clinical rare condition and diagnosis of it is often delayed or missed due to both the rarity of the disease and its…
Abstract Nowadays transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an accepted alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement for high-risk patients (pts). Successful TAVI procedures for failed aortic surgical bioprosthesis (TAV-in-SAV) have…
Abstract Objective We aimed to carry out a “real world” comparison of bivalirudin plus unfractionated heparin (UFH) versus abciximab plus UFH in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for…
Abstract Background The EucaTax stent (EUPES) is a coronary stent with biodegradable polymer and camouflage coating that has been developed to promote the complete elution of drugs and decrease the…
Abstract Objectives This multicenter registry aimed to assess the ClearWay™ (CW) perfusion catheter in reduction of thrombus burden and improvement of the coronary flow during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Background…
Abstract Background Transradial coronary intervention (TRI) is increasingly common, but anatomic variations and lack of guide catheter support may increase the complexity of TRI. The GuideLiner catheter (Vascular Solutions, Minneapolis,MN)…
Abstract Background Atrial arteries arise from the right and left circumflex coronary arteries and they may be accidentally occluded during percutaneous coronary angioplasty; however, this complication is not well known….
Abstract Background Sex-based differences in the association between C-reactive protein (CRP) and cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) are incompletely investigated. We investigated whether there are gender…
