Coronary artery stents revolutionized the practice of interventional cardiology after they were
first introduced in the mid-1980s. Since then, there have been significant developments in …

Objective: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been shown to provide better results
than percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in multivessel coronary disease. Drug-eluting …

Background Recently, it has been suggested that enhancement of incretin effect improves
cardiac function. We investigated the effect of a DPP-IV inhibitor, des-fluoro-sitagliptin, in …

OBJECTIVE: Traditionally integrated coronary artery revascularization has been described
as a 2-stage procedure. We evaluated the safety and feasibility of 1-stage, simultaneous …

It yet has not been clarified whether there is a late catch-up phenomenon in target lesion
revascularization (TLR) after sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) compared to bare metal stent …

Aims Enhancement of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) reduces glucose levels and
preserves pancreatic β-cell function, but its effect against restenosis is unknown. Methods …

BACKGROUND: Refractory angina pectoris has been defined as coronary artery disease
and severe angina, not available for further conventional pharmacological treatment or for …

Patients with coronary artery disease who have prognostically significant lesions or
symptoms despite optimum medical therapy require mechanical revascularization with …

Although diabetic patients constitute an increasing number of individuals undergoing
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and surgical revascularization, they experience …

Objectives: To explore the clinical performance of a strategy of revascularization by
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug‐eluting stent (DES) in diabetic patients …
