Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of the Everolimus-Eluting Stent Compared to First-Generation Drug-Eluting Stents in Contemporary Clinical Practice

Arterial remodeling is the geometric alteration of the arterial wall in response to atherogenesis. During the development and progression of atherosclerosis, the external elastic membrane cross-sectional area (EEM CSA) may increase (termed...

Do you think there is any hope for the continuation of radiation therapy with drug-eluting stents? We know that drug-eluting stents reduce restenosis, but they do not eliminate it. It is our estimation that there will be around a 10%...

Contemporary Use of Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Refractory Cardiogenic Shock in Acute Coronary Syndrome

Young Joon Hong , MD;

ABSTRACT: Background. Ruptured plaques are associated with elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) that, in turn, are associated with a poor prognosis in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. Objectives. The purpose of this study was to...

How do registries differ from randomized controlled trials (RCTs)? Unlike RCTs, registries are not built on randomization and therefore may at times be subject to case selection. Furthermore, it is often difficult to draw a conclusion from...
