Drug-eluting stents have dramatically changed the care of patients with coronary artery disease, leading to decreased neointimal proliferation and clinical restenosis.1 However, concerns have been raised regarding hypersensitivity reactions.2...

Since it was first used in 1984 and reported in 1987,1,2 the right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA) has emerged as an effective third or isolated arterial conduit for complete arterial bypass grafting or for use in cases of limited graft numbers...

Optimal stent deployment by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) improves outcome, but it can only be achieved in 50% of patients. We investigated the feasibility and effect of a new method of stent optimization on optimal stent deployment.

Optimal stent deployment by...
