ABSTRACT Background Despite recommendations in international guidelines, Intracoronary pressure wire assessment (PWA) utilization remains limited in clinical practice. This study aims to describe (i) trends of PWA during Percutaneous coronary interventional (PCI), (ii) factors that predict its application, and (iii) association with in‐hospital ...

A comparative study on the effect of coronary angioplasty on left ventricular function in post myocardial infarction among patients with and without type-2 diabetes mellitus [PDF]
Background and objectives. Coronary angioplasty is a common intervention for improving cardiac function postmyocardial infarction. However, the impact of this procedure in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared to those without diabetes ...

ABSTRACT A 64‑year‑old man with a Non–ST‑elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) underwent coronary angiography, which revealed single‑vessel disease with a high‑grade proximal and a severely calcified mid‑LAD lesion just proximal to a diagonal branch (DB). Both the LAD and the DB were wired.

ABSTRACT Background Biodegradable‐polymer (BP) drug‐eluting stents (DES) were developed to mitigate potential late adverse events related to persistent durable polymers in durable‐polymer (DP) DES; however, contemporary long‐term real‐world comparative data remain limited. Aims We aimed to compare the 5‐year clinical outcomes of contemporary BP‐DES and

ABSTRACT Background The prognostic benefit of revascularization for unprotected left main (LM) disease remains uncertain, as guideline endorsement of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) precludes comparison with deferral, which is unlikely to be assessed in a randomized trial.
