Stents are placed through a cardiac angiogram, a procedure in which a catheter is placed in the groin and run up to the heart. An angioplasty, in which the narrowed blockage of the artery is ...

Using intravascular imaging (IVI) to guide stent implantation during complex stenting procedures is safer and more effective ...

Before undergoing angiography, patients were randomly assigned to receive either sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) or paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES), with no restriction on the number of lesions or ...

A decade after the first introduction of angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR), we are now entering an era in which simplified image-derived solutions could replace invasive assessment ...

Patients with narrowing of at least 50% in three major coronary arteries did equally well when treated with a minimally ...

Table 5 summarizes the mean velocities and ICA to CCA ratios for = 30 to < 50%, = 50 to < 70%, and = 70 to 99% in-stent restenosis, based on CT angiography. ROC Curves: Sensitivity and Specificity ...

Coronary artery bypass grafting is a more invasive procedure where surgeons use blood vessels from another part of the body ...

This prospective study revisits DUS criteria for determining the rate of in-stent restenosis. In analyzing a subset of 12 patients (pilot study) who had both completion carotid angiography and DUS ...
