From the nationwide multicenter consortium, 8,163 patients undergoing drug‐eluting stent implantation were classified according to the presence of the CYP2C19 loss‐of‐function (LoF) allele: rapid or normal metabolizers (RMs/NMs) vs. intermediate or poor metabolizers (IMs/PMs), and clinical risk was stratified using the CHADS‐P2A2RC and TRS 2°P scores ...

Recoil following Wiktor stent implantation for restenotic lesions of coronary arteries [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to determine acute recoil of the vessel wall immediately after Wiktor stent implantation in native coronary arteries of 77 consecutive patients and to assess whether there was compression or “late recoil” of the stent itself

Cutting balloon angioplasty for intrastent restenosis treatment
We describe here two patients with angiographic diagnosis of intrastent restenosis and regional myocardial ischemia. One stent restenosis was located in a native coronary artery and the other in a vein graft.

“Bendy” stents help negotiate hairpin intracardiac curves [PDF]
Simple transposition of the great arteries (TGA) occurs in 0.2 per 1000 live births. The condition is surgically repaired in the neonatal period by the arterial switch procedure (ASO) sometimes preceded by an atrial septostomy.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion polymorphism does not influence the restenosis rate after coronary stent implantation [PDF]
Background. Experimental studies have shown an activation of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) system as a response to endothelial injury. Recent publications have elucidated the hypothesis that the ACE gene polymorphism may influence the level of ...
