Aim Outcomes with everolimus-eluting stents (EES) are excellent in multiple randomized controlled trials. There is a need regarding their use in a real-world scenario. We report our experience with EES…
Objectives The aim of this study was to compare the intracoronary (IC) double bolus of eptifibatide and IC high bolus dose of tirofiban as adjuncts to primary percutaneous coronary intervention…
Background Ejection fraction measurement is an integral part of pre-heart transplant evaluation. In the clinical arena, the correlation and agreement between ejection fraction (EF) measured by echocardiography vs. catheterization in…
Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of the CNS. MS is characterized by disseminated demyelinating lesions and axonal injury. At the beginning of disease dominates the inflammation…
Background The management of acute limb ischemia is largely based on the etiology of arterial occlusion (embolic vs. thrombotic). To our knowledge, the ability of duplex scanning to differentiate embolic…
Background The vascular trauma imposed by the stent is intimately linked to the in-stent restenosis (ISR). Besides the deep injury, the circumferential stretch injury has been recently identified as factor…
Background Coronary computerized tomographic angiography (CTA) is being increasingly utilized in roles previously performed by cardiac catheterization, particularly for coronary artery imaging in low-risk patients with atypical symptoms or suspected…
Background Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) have shown efficacy for treatment of coronary artery disease. In the PEPCAD II ISR trial, paclitaxel-coated balloon (PCB) reduced in-stent restenosis (ISR) compared with paclitaxel-eluting stent…
Background Now it is not known which cell type is best for inducing therapeutic angiogenesis in end-stage critical limb ischemia (CLI). We hypothesized that mononuclear cells mobilized with granulocyte colony…
Aim The aim was to determine the prevalence and morphological characteristics of coronary artery ectasia (CAE) detected by 64-MSCT coronary angiography and to assess the clinical presentation, the association of…
