Compared with bare metal stents (BMS), drug-eluting stents (DES) significantly reduce the risk of restenosis and the subsequent need for revascularization.1 Stent thrombosis remains a serious complication with either BMS or DES, with an...

Coronary arteries originating from a single coronary ostium (CO) in the aorta, in the absence of congenital heart disease (CHD), are rare.1 In several large series, the incidence ranged from 0.024% to 0.066%.2–4 In 1979, Lipton et al proposed...

The first percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in humans was performed by Dr. Andreas Gruentzig in 1974.1 Since then, major evolutions in PTCA have resulted in over 1,000 angioplasty procedures in the registry by 1980. The...
