Second-generation extracellular matrix patch for epicardial infarct repair
Current myocardial infarction treatments focus on improving hemodynamics rather than addressing the problem of lost myocardium impairing left ventricular function.

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.

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.

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.

Meta-analysis of death and myocardial infarction in the DEFINE-FLAIR and iFR-SWEDEHEART trials: a hypothesis generating note of caution [PDF]
In patients with coronary heart disease, revascularization can improve symptoms and in certain high-risk subgroups may improve prognosis. Coronary angiography provides anatomical information and the physiological significance of a stenosis can be ...

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.
