Percutaneous coronary intervention in the elderly: changes in case-mix and periprocedural outcomes in 31758 patients treated between 2000 and 2007 [PDF]
<p>Background: The elderly account for an increasing proportion of the population and have a high prevalence of coronary heart disease. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the most common method of revascularization in the elderly.

3D Fusion between Fluoroscopy Angiograms and SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Images to Guide Percutaneous Coronary Intervention [PDF]
Background. Percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) in stable coronary artery disease(CAD) is commonly triggered by abnormal myocardial perfusion imaging(MPI). However, due to the possibilities of multivessel disease and variability of coronary artery perfusion distribution, opportunity exists to better align anatomic stenosis with perfusion ...

Artesunate Inhibits Neointimal Hyperplasia by Promoting IRF4 Associated Macrophage Polarization
This study shows that macrophage interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) improved arterial injury‐induced neointimal hyperplasia by promoting of M2 polarization via up‐regulating krüppel‐like factor 4 (KLF4) in rodent and nonhuman primate models. Notably, artesunate is identified as a potent inducer of IRF4 in macrophages, and proposed as a promising ...

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.
