Myocardial Infarction and All‐Cause Mortality Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Versus Conservative Treatment of Chronic Total Occlusions: A West Denmark Heart Registry Study

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic coronary total occlusions (CTO) represent a therapeutic challenge, and results of randomized clinical trials and observational studies comparing conservative treatment versus percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are underpowered.

Coronary computed tomography angiography for heart team decision-making in multivessel coronary artery disease

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2018
Aims Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) has emerged as a non-invasive diagnostic method for patients with suspected coronary artery disease, but its usefulness in patients with complex coronary artery disease remains to be investigated.

Comparison of Fractional Flow Reserve and Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Saphenous Vein Grafts

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Revascularization decision‐making for saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) relies on angiographic lesion severity estimation, as studies on fractional flow reserve (FFR) for detecting ischemia in SVGs are scarce. Aims To compare FFR and quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) of SVGs against myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and to ...

Novel Transthoracic Pulmonary Valve Implantation Using Self‐Expanding Salus Valve: A Prospective Study of Safety and Mid‐Term Outcomes

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) has emerged as a valuable treatment for severe pulmonary regurgitation (PR). The Salus valve (Balance Medical Technology Co. Ltd., Beijing, China) represents a novel self‐expanding valve stent designed for deployment through a transthoracic approach with a small subxiphoid incision ...

Impact of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin on use of coronary angiography, cardiac stress testing, and time to discharge in suspected acute myocardial infarction

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2016
Aims High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays provide higher diagnostic accuracy for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) when compared with conventional assays, but may result in increased use of unnecessary coronary angiographies due to their ...

Incidence and 1‐Year Prognostic of Unstable Angina After High‐Sensitivity Troponin Assessment

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Incidence and prognostic of unstable angina after high‐sensitivity troponin assesment is controversial. Aims This study evaluated prognostic of a contemporary population of patients with UA defined using high sensitive T troponin (T hs‐cTn) measurements and with significant coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods Consecutive patients
