Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease in Dialysis Patients with Sirolimus-eluting Stents: 1-year Clinical Follow-up of a Consecut

ABSTRACT: The use of bare stents for the percutaneous intervention of saphenous vein bypass grafts (SVGs) is associated with a high subsequent rate of restenosis. To assess the impact of the sirolimus-eluting stent (SES), we studied 19...

Predictors of Survival After Contemporary Percutaneous Coronary Revascularization for Acute Myocardial Infarction in the Real Wo

In this preliminary series, sirolimus-eluting stent implantation appeared safe and effective for the treatment of dialysis patients with coronary artery disease. Dialysis patients are well known to be a high-risk population for cardiovascular...

Sirolimus-eluting Stents for the Treatment of Atherosclerotic Ostial Lesions

Management strategies for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have undergone great evolution over the past decade. Currently, primary mechanical reperfusion is considered superior to thrombolytic therapy in achieving complete and...

Successful Use of a New Guidewire with Radiofrequency Ablation Capability for the Treatment of Chronic Total Occlusion at the Os

Pedro A. Lemos , MD;

Ostial atherosclerotic lesions constitute a distinct substrate for percutaneous interventions, as they differ from the other lesion sites in management strategies and in clinical outcomes. Since the lesions are more likely fibrotic and...

Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: Time for a Concerted Effort to Better Understand This Rare Condition

The major limitation of percutaneous therapy (PCI) for the treatment of chronic total occlusions (CTOs) is the inability to cross with a wire. We report successful recanalization of a CTO situated at the ostium of the left anterior descending...

Successful Use of a New Guidewire with Radiofrequency Ablation Capability for the Treatment of Chronic Total Occlusion at the Os

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a challenge for the interventional cardiologist. Not least because it occurs so rarely that even someone with a large clinical practice will only see a small number of cases, and in addition,...
