Coronary CT Angiography and 5-Year Risk of Myocardial Infarction. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Although coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA) improves diagnostic certainty in the assessment of patients with stable chest pain, its effect on 5-year clinical outcomes is unknown.

Introduction. Myocardial revascularization using traditional percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is indicated to the patients with multivessel coronary artery (CA) damage. However, complete revascularization

Use of the Instantaneous Wave-free Ratio or Fractional Flow Reserve in PCI [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Coronary revascularization guided by fractional flow reserve (FFR) is associated with better patient outcomes after the procedure than revascularization guided by angiography alone.

Fractional flow reserve versus angiography in guiding management to optimize outcomes in non–ST-elevation myocardial infarction (FAMOUS-NSTEMI): rationale and design of a randomized controlled clinical trial [PDF]
<p>Background: In patients with acute non–ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), coronary arteriography is usually recommended; but visual interpretation of the angiogram is subjective.

MYOCARDIAL REVASCULARIZATION [PDF]
Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease causes more morbidity, mortality and loss of economic capacity than any other group of diseases. The modalities of revascularization of the myocardium have undergone rapid advances with emphasis shifting alternately from medical methods to surgical.

Three-Year Clinical Outcomes With the Cilotax Dual Drug-Eluting Stent vs Everolimus-Eluting Stents in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction [PDF]
Background This study compared the safety and effectiveness of paclitaxel/cilostazol–eluting Cilotax stents with those of everolimus-eluting stents in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Reoperative myocardial revascularization
Recurrent angina after primary myocardial revascularization has resulted in an increasing number of patients undergoing a second revascularization procedure. At The Cleveland Clinic the number of these operations done in 1983 reached 276 cases which represents more than 11% of our total myocardial revascularization work.

A New Approach in Risk Stratification by Coronary CT Angiography. [PDF]
For a decade, coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) has been used as a promising noninvasive modality for the assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) as well as cardiovascular risks.
