Objectives: This study sought to understand the total weight of evidence regarding outcomes
in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) versus percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) …

Background—Although intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance has been useful in
stenting for unprotected left main coronary artery stenosis, its impact on long-term mortality is …

Objectives: The aim of this trial was to compare the safety and efficacy of paclitaxel-eluting
stents (PES) and sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) for treatment of unprotected left main …

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate early and late outcomes after percutaneous
coronary intervention (PCI) of unprotected left main coronary artery disease (ULMCA) and to …

Aims In this study, we compared the cumulative risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE)
of patients with distal unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) stenosis with those of …

Background—Although C-reactive protein (CRP) has been proposed as a useful biomarker
for predicting atherothrombosis, the association between CRP and stent thrombosis after …

Aims In acute coronary syndromes (ACS), the optimal revascularization strategy for
unprotected left main coronary disease (ULMCD) has been little studied. The objectives of …

Background—No data exist about the impact of high residual platelet reactivity (HRPR) after
clopidogrel loading on long-term clinical outcome in patients undergoing drug-eluting stent …

Technical innovation is rapidly improving the clinical utility of cardiac computed tomography
