Background When compared to PES in the general population, EES has demonstrated superiority in efficacy. However, it is still in controversy whether in the diabetic population this superiority holds. Aims…
Background These days access for coronary angiography and intervention is increasingly achieved via the radial artery in majority of centers to avoid the vascular complications of femoral access. This study…
Background This study was performed to evaluate the feasibility of same day early discharge after transradial percutaneous coronary intervention. Study Design This was a descriptive observational study. Study Design This…
Background The independent advantages of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with direct stenting (DS) when compared against balloon pre-dilatation (PD) are not entirely clear. Previous studies suggest a decrease in the…
Background Although the success rate of chronic total occlusion (CTO) PCI has recently increased, vessel diameter distal to the successfully recanalized CTO lesion is often smaller than expected immediately after…
Background Disturbances in atrioventricular conduction and further need for permanent pacemaker are common complications after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Objective The objective was to determine the incidence and type…
Background The presence or development of thrombus during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with poor prognosis. Aim This multicenter registry aimed to assess the ClearWay™ (CW) perfusion catheter in…
Introduction Trans-apical aortic valve replacement (TA-AVR) is typically performed in aortic stenosis patients with poor peripheral vascular access. While TA-AVR procedural outcome is comparable to trans-femoral, recent reports indicate that…
Background The increasing prevalence of basic interventional cardiology services being offered by hospitals of all sizes led to a decrease in overall referral volumes along with an increase in the…
Background Linear blood flow through normal coronary artery becomes turbulent flow at branching points exerting shear force on the bifurcation site which in turn predisposes for development of obstructive coronary…
