What to Do with Epicardial Coronary Artery Abnormalities That do not Result in Myocardial Ischemia?
When epicardial arteries with minimal CAD do not limit flow are found at coronary angiography, all cardiologists agree that aggressive risk factor modification and use of appropriate drugs are warranted.

Coronary flow velocity reserve after percutaneous interventions is predictive of periprocedural outcome [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Because heterogeneous results have been reported, we assessed coronary flow velocity changes in individuals who underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and examined their impact on clinical outcome. METHODS AND RESULTS:

Antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy in elective percutaneous coronary intervention
Thrombosis plays a major role in acute vessel closure both after coronary balloon angioplasty and after stenting. This review will address the role of antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy in preventing early thrombotic complications after percutaneous ...

Three dimensional intravascular ultrasonic assessment of the local mechanism of restenosis after balloon angioplasty [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To assess the mechanism of restenosis after balloon angioplasty. DESIGN: Prospective study. PATIENTS: 13 patients treated with balloon angioplasty. INTERVENTIONS: 111 coronary subsegments (2 mm each) were analysed after balloon angioplasty and

Incidence, predictors, and management of acute coronary occlusion after coronary angioplasty [PDF]
Acute coronary occlusion occurs in 4.3% to 8.3% of patients during coronary angioplasty. Its occurrence is difficult to predict in an individual patient.

Coronary stenting versus balloon angioplasty in small vessels
We read with interest the study by Moreno et al. ([1][1]), which demonstrated, through ameta-analytic technique, the significant reduction of restenosis due to stent incomparison to percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in small-vessel coronaryartery disease.

The strategy of surgical revascularization of coronary arteries in a multi-vessel lesion
This review presents the basic approaches for the surgical myocardial revascularization in patients with multivessel coronary lesions. The methods of coronary artery bypass grafting, balloon angioplasty, stenting using holometallic stents and drug-coated
