In this case report, we illustrate the early coverage at 14 days of an everolimus eluting Bioabsorbable Vascular Scaffold (Absorb BVS, Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara) implanted after ST Elevation Myocardial…
Abstract Pseudoaneurysms (PAs) of arteries in the lower extremities are uncommon. In most cases, a PA of the common femoral artery develops following percutaneous access and treatment with ultrasound guided…
Abstract Primary percutaneous intervention of saphenous vein grafts is associated with a high risk of distal embolization and no reflow. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with a…
Abstract Background Controversy persists regarding the management of patients with cryptogenic stroke and patent foramen ovale (PFO). We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing PFO closure with medical…
Abstract Acute and subacute ischemia of the lower extremity is still a common reason for amputation. The treatment of this condition includes the well known procedure of local thrombolysis, surgical…
Abstract Purpose The Genous™ stent (GS) is designed to accelerate endothelization, which is potentially useful in the pro-thrombotic environment of ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). We aimed to evaluate the…
Abstract Objective The objective is to see if use of the ACIST™ device during carotid stenting would be feasible without an increase in primary end points when compared to historic…
Abstract Background The current revascularization treatment recommendation is different according to lesion location and a higher recommendation is given to surgery for proximal LAD (pLAD) lesions over PCI. This is…
Abstract Background Transradial access (TRA) offers advantages including decreased vascular complications, reduced length of hospital stay, and reduced cost. The size of the radial artery (RA) limits the equipment that…
Abstract Objectives To assess the prognostic implication of the ACCF/AHA/SCAI appropriate use criteria (AUC) for coronary revascularization in a cohort of non-acute coronary syndrome patients. Background The AUC for coronary…
