Most diagnostic modalities for imaging of atherosclerosis can not provide information on the biology and metabolism of plaque. A number of molecular imaging targets, which were not specific, for atherosclerosis…
Introduction SYNTAX score is a valuable angiographic score which is based on coronary lesion anatomy; clinical factors are not taken into account during its calculation. The validated Texas Heart PCI…
Background “Mother–child technique” is applicable when the backup support of the guiding catheter is insufficient. We investigated the impact of the size of the mother guiding catheter on the catheter…
Background and Aim TIMI frame count (TFC) is frequently used as an indicator for successful intervention during primary PCI. It is suggested that distal embolization occurs in almost all primary…
Background Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is a novel candidate immunoinflammatory marker that has been reported to be associated with cardiometabolic risk factors and to predict adverse outcomes in patients with coronary…
Background The Syntax score has been shown to be a predictor of outcomes in patients with left main (LM) coronary artery disease treated with drug eluting stents (DES). In this…
Background Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) is an increasingly popular method of treating lower limb varicose veins and is a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. There are currently little data…
Background Recent evidence has shown a reduced bleeding risk and resultant decreased morbidity and mortality when the transradial approach is utilized over the transfemoral approach for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)….
Background Clopidogrel low response correlates with poor prognosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It is today clearly demonstrated that there is a large inter-individual variability in clopidogrel response. Some authors…
Aims There are no data about the utilization of a single transradial guiding catheter for the current routine, transradial, right and left coronary diagnosis, and intervention. We investigated the feasibility…
