Although diabetic patients represent approximately one-quarter of all those undergoing
revascularization, their outcomes after revascularization are usually worse compared with …

Objectives: We compared outcomes in patients with non–ST-segment elevation acute
coronary syndromes (ACS) according to the degree of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) elevation …

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusions (CTO) has been rapidly
evolving in recent years. CTO are commonly encountered, occurring in approximately 20 …

Background Limited data are available on clinical outcome of patients with previously failed
or not attempted chronic total occlusion (CTO) recanalization by percutaneous coronary …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate current American College of
Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) hospital percutaneous coronary …

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusions (CTOs) has a lower
success rate than PCI for non-CTO lesions. We sought to determine trends in the treatment …

BACKGROUND: Limited information is available about clinical outcomes following routine
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the current era. This study aimed to identify …

Objectives: We sought to perform the first systematic study of the natural history of chronic
total arterial occlusions (CTOs) in an experimental model. Background: Angioplasty of CTOs …

Aims Same‐day discharge (SDD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was safe
and cost‐effective in randomized and observational studies but faces limited acceptance …

Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) represent the most technically challenging lesion
subset that interventional cardiologists face. CTOs are identified in up to one third of patients …
