Objective: To investigate whether common risk stratification models in cardiac surgery
predict perioperative outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with …

Objective Recent studies have indicated that coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
outcomes in patients with prior stents are suboptimal. We aimed to study the impact of prior …

Background: Although considered a minimally invasive procedure, transcatheter aortic valve
implantation (TAVI) generates an inflammatory response which is related to post-procedural …

Objectives To investigate whether the imaging changes on high-resolution vessel wall
imaging (HR-VWI) in patients before and after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and …

We utilized a plasma activated coating (PAC) to covalently bind the active component of
high density lipoproteins (HDL), apolipoprotein (apo) AI, to stainless steel (SS) surfaces …

Introduction: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been increasingly performed to
treat coronary artery disease. The performance of multiple PCI has also been increasing …

Introduction The optimal treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR) is not determined. We
describe the efficacy of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) with stent removal in the management …

Previous studies have demonstrated the beneficial effect of statin loading prior to elective
and early percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), in which the 'pleiotropic effects' of …

Abstract Introduction: Approximately 15 to 30% of patients undergoing percutaneous
coronary intervention (PCI) will require repeated revascularization. There is an ongoing …

Background Morbidity with surgical systemic‐to‐pulmonary artery shunting (SPS) in
infants≤ 2.5 kg has remained high. Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) stenting may be a valid …
