Recently, lower restenosis rates have been demonstrated by directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) followed by stenting compared to stenting alone.1 This strategy may be suitable for ostial lesions, which are associated with a high risk of...

Prolonged bedrest following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been rationalized to minimize the risk of vascular complications following femoral arterial puncture. This may not be a benign practice and can result in considerable...

There are a number of reasons why early mobilization following coronary intervention is desirable. Patient comfort is obviously one reason, but limitations on health care resources increasingly drive this issue. A number of strategies have...
