Clopidogrel and Percutaneous Coronary Interventions [PDF]
case fatality rates in inhaled anthrax can approach 100%. Anthrax bacteria, after being inhaled, use three toxins— protective antigen, oedema factor, and lethal factor—to enter, appropriate, and kill alveolar macrophages. Seven copies of protective antigen assemble and facilitate entry of oedema factor and lethal factor into macrophages.

Percutaneous coronary intervention
Cardiac catheterization is a procedure by which information is obtained from the heart by passing fine plastic tubes (occasionally other instruments) either near to or within the heart, to introduce contrast to cardiac structures to understand their anatomy and function better, to measure pressures, and/or to measure oxygen saturations in different ...

Imaging in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Intracoronary imaging (ICI) use during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been shown to effectively improve cardiovascular outcomes, particularly for high-risk subgroups. However, data from randomized controlled trials are limited and the overall utilization rate of ICI remains variable between different countries and centers.

Bivalirudin in percutaneous coronary intervention [PDF]
Bivalirudin is a member of the direct thrombin inhibitor group of anticoagulants. It has been evaluated as an alternative to unfractionated and low-molecular-weight heparins in the settings of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Results of clinical trials to date suggest bivalirudin is a viable alternative to the
