ABSTRACT: Background. A 300 mg clopidogrel loading-dose (LD) is widely used as an adjunct antithrombotic treatment to reduce the risk of thrombotic events early after coronary stenting (CS). Antithrombotic drugs commonly used during...

ABSTRACT: Background. Clopidogrel combined to aspirin reduces the early risk of stent thrombosis and a clopidogrel pre-treatment strategy is associated with a better outcome. However, in clinical practice such pre-treatment strategy is not...

There is a lack of data on clinical outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention with ultrathin stents on unprotected left main coronary artery comparing women and men. In our study, all patients treated with unprotected left main...

We describe one of the first cases of bioresorbable vascular scaffold restenosis. We treated it like a drug-eluting stent restenosis, performing first an intracoronary optical coherence tomography scan in order to identify the left descending...

Several two-stent techniques for unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) bifurcation lesions have been described, however, a paucity of data exists regarding the optimal strategy, especially in the second-generation drug-eluting stent...
