The introduction of coronary stents marked a major turning point in the practice of
interventional cardiology. Whereas the efficacy of balloon angioplasty was challenged both …

The development of stent has been a major advance in the treatment of obstructive coronary
artery disease since the introduction of balloon angioplasty. However, neointimal …

In patients with stable CAD, PCI can be considered a valuable initial mode of
revascularization in all patients with objective large ischaemia in the presence of almost …

Objectives: This study was designed to compare the clinical and angiographic outcomes of
sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) and bare metal stent (BMS) implantation for unprotected left …

Objectives: This study was performed to evaluate the feasibility of the physiologic
assessment of jailed side branches using fractional flow reserve (FFR) and to compare the …
