ABSTRACT In estimating the average treatment effect (ATE), the plug‐in estimator with the efficient influence function and the targeted maximum likelihood estimator (TMLE) are semiparametrically efficient. However, the estimators suffer from the fact that too small/large a propensity score (PS) in the denominators can make the estimators unstable. This

ABSTRACT Background The radial artery is the preferred access for performing diagnostic coronary angiograms (DCA). However, data on the safety and efficacy of radial compared to femoral access in low‐ and middle‐income countries is limited. Aims This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of radial versus femoral access in patients referred for

Role of Neuroimaging Before Coronary Angiography in Patients With Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest
ABSTRACT Background Patients presenting following out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OOHCA) often require emergency coronary angiography. Presentations can be associated with syncope or head‐trauma. Aims We investigated the impact and utility of pre‐coronary angiography CT‐Brain (CT‐B) in patients following OOHCA on clinical outcomes.

Premature interruption of dual antiplatelet therapy in a patient with polycythemia vera and clinically suspected acquired von Willebrand syndrome triggered catastrophic recurrent stent thrombosis, whereas perioperative bridging with eptifibatide enabled safe surgery. ABSTRACT Polycythemia vera is associated with a thrombotic–hemorrhagic paradox.

Hypoperfused myocardium was detected in portions of acute myocardial infarction patients undergoing complete revascularization by hybrid positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance at 2 months. Patients with hypoperfused myocardium (Group A) had higher hs‐CRP and lower T2 values than those without (Group B). The reversal of myocardial perfusion was
