Abstract Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage after percutaneous coronary intervention is a rare complication that has been mostly reported in association with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors. We herein report a case of a…
Abstract Background Trans-radial access in coronary intervention has gained popularity as it grants advantages in patients with higher risk of haemorrhage, especially those with non-cardiac conditions and those treated with…
Abstract A 56-year-old male with a past history of coronary artery bypass graft surgery underwent stent implantation for a severe proximal left subclavian artery stenosis. Recurrent in-stent restenosis (ISR) resulted…

Abstract Background We aimed to elucidate the association between gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity with prevalence of premature coronary artery disease (CAD) in young Pakistani patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography….
Abstract Background Several studies have reported on the circadian variation in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) onset. The influence of morning blood pressure surge, platelet aggregation and sympathetic activity is believed…
Abstract Objective We sought to prospectively evaluate long-term follow-up results of intracardiac echocardiography-aided transcatheter closure of interatrial shunts in adults. Background Intracardiac echocardiography improves the safety and effectiveness of transcatheter…
