ABSTRACT Incomplete stent apposition at the proximal coronary artery may predispose to subtle guiding catheter–induced stent deformation, creating a gap between the stent and the vessel wall that facilitates inadvertent abluminal guidewire passage. We report a case in which balloon dilatation over an unrecognized abluminal guidewire resulted in severe ...

ABSTRACT Background The prognostic benefit of revascularization for unprotected left main (LM) disease remains uncertain, as guideline endorsement of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) precludes comparison with deferral, which is unlikely to be assessed in a randomized trial.

ABSTRACT The identification of the “culprit lesion” in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) traditionally relies on coronary angiography, assuming that the most severe stenosis, abrupt occlusion, or largest filling defect marks the site of plaque destabilization.

Long-term mortality after first Acute Myocardial Infarction in the light of changing therapeutic guidelines and diagnostic criteria between 1995 and 2003 [PDF]
Background: The introduction of new invasive therapies for acute myocardial infarction and new medication schemes for secondary prevention is thought to increase life expectancy in 28-day survivors of a first myocardial infarction.

Intravascular Lithotripsy in Left Main Stem Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
ABSTRACT Background IVL is increasingly used for coronary calcium modification; however, prospective data for its use in LMS lesions are lacking. Aims To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and mechanical efficacy of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) for calcium modification in calcified distal left main stem (LMS) percutaneous coronary intervention ...
