Intravascular imaging in coronary stent restenosis: Prevention, characterization, and management
Despite the introduction of drug-eluting stents to combat the neointimal hyperplasia that occurred after BMS implantation, in-stent restenosis is still encountered in a significant number of patients, particularly as increasingly complex lesions are ...

Left Main Coronary Artery Ostial Stenosis in a Pediatric Patient With Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Pediatric resuscitated sudden cardiac arrest may result from diverse conditions and, therefore, warrants a comprehensive work-up. Although rare, coronary artery abnormalities must be ruled out in these patients.
