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.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of optimal P2Y₁₂ blockade in dual antiplatelet therapy for patients with diabetes with acute coronary syndrome [PDF]
Background: Patients with diabetes are at increased risk of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and their mortality and morbidity outcomes are significantly worse following ACS events, independent of other comorbidities.

Bivalirudin started during emergency transport for primary PCI. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Bivalirudin, as compared with heparin and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, has been shown to reduce rates of bleeding and death in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Non-coronary percutaneous intervention [PDF]
Although most percutaneous interventional procedures involve the coronary arteries, major developments in non-coronary transcatheter cardiac procedures have occurred in the past 20 years. In adults the commonest procedures are balloon mitral valvuloplasty, ethanol septal ablation, and septal defect closure.
