Patients with acute coronary syndromes and severe multivessel or left main coronary artery disease have better outcomes when prompt revascularization is performed in addition to optimal medical therapy (OMT). However, in patients with stable ischemic heart disease, randomized strategy trials have revealed equipoise between initial strategies of OMT ...

Exosome as bioactive nanovesicle for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in periodontitis
This review introduces the mechanism that exosomes participate in the pathogenesis of periodontitis and their potential as biomarkers for early diagnosis and summarizes the application of cell‐ or plant‐derived exosomes or engineered exosomes in periodontitis or periodontal regeneration while proposing the perspective of translational application of ...

Neutrophils in cancer: At the crucial crossroads of anti‐tumor and pro‐tumor
Abstract Neutrophils are important components of the immune system and play a key role in defending against pathogenic infections and responding to inflammatory cues, including cancer. Their dysregulation indicates potential disease risk factors. However, their functional importance in disease progression has often been underestimated due to their ...

ABSTRACT Background Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)‐guided optimization of suboptimal fractional flow reserve (FFR) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) results in a significant increase in both post‐PCI FFR and minimal lumen and stent areas (MLA and MSA, respectively).

ABSTRACT Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well‐known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery diseases (CAD). Complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) such as PCI for bifurcation lesions often yields poor outcomes, especially in DM patients.

The Impact of Hydrostatic Pressure on Fractional Flow Reserve in Saphenous Vein Grafts
ABSTRACT Background The relationship between height differences related to graft anatomy and physiological pressure indices in coronary bypass grafts has not been studied. We sought to study the impact of hydrostatic pressure on fractional flow reserve (FFR) in saphenous vein grafts (SVGs).

ABSTRACT Coronary stent fractures (SFs) are an emerging complication of coronary stents. There are numerous risk factors for SF, which include vessel angulation, use of sirolimus‐eluting stent (SES), long stents, multiple stent layers, stent overlap, inflammation, hypersensitivity, stenting in the right coronary artery, heavy calcification, ostial ...

ABSTRACT Background Coronary slow flow and no reflow significantly predict poor prognosis in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients, especially those with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Early identification of factors contributing to these conditions can mitigate ischemic events and improve outcomes.

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.
