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

Abstract Cardiovascular disease is a leading complication after both liver and kidney transplantation. Factors associated with and rates of cardiovascular events (CVEs) after simultaneous liver–kidney transplant (SLKT) are unknown. This was a retrospective cohort study of adult SLKT recipients between 2002 and 2017 at six centers in six United Network ...

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.

Hybrid myocardial revascularization
In patients with advanced coronary artery disease (CAD), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with improved long-term outcomes while percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with lower periprocedural complications. A new approach has emerged in the last decade that attempts to reap the benefits of bypass surgery and ...

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 Viability Testing in Patients with Ischemic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) is an important cause of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Despite the improvement of treatment methods, it still has a high mortality.
