Efficiency, Safety, and Quality of Life After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Performed With Moderate Sedation Versus General Anesthesia.

Feb 13, 2020

There is growing interest in "minimalist" transcatheter aortic valve implantation (M-TAVI), performed with conscious sedation instead of general anesthesia (GA-TAVI). We assessed the impact of M-TAVI ...

Optical coherence tomography and fractional flow reserve guided treatment of woven coronary artery anomaly presenting as acute myocardial infarction: A case report.

Feb 13, 2020

Woven coronary artery is a very rare congenital anomaly which may lead to acute coronary syndrome in previous literatures. At present, there is no consensus on the treatment of this coronary artery ab...

Successful conservative management of a spontaneous intraperitoneal rupture of bladder diverticulum in a critical patient: A case report. A CARE-compliant article.

Feb 13, 2020

A spontaneous rupture of the bladder diverticulum in an adult patient is extremely rare. The recommended treatment is surgery. However, some cases can be successfully treated with urinary catheterizat...

Estimating the Net Benefit of Improvements in Hospital Performance: G-Computation With Hierarchical Regression Models.

Feb 13, 2020

It is important to be able to estimate the anticipated net population benefit if the performance of hospitals is improved to specific standards.The objective of this study was to show how G-computatio...

Polymer-based or Polymer-free Stents in Patients at High Bleeding Risk.

Feb 13, 2020

Polymer-free drug-coated stents provide superior clinical outcomes to bare-metal stents in patients at high bleeding risk who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and are treated with 1 mo...

Accelerated surgery versus standard care in hip fracture (HIP ATTACK): an international, randomised, controlled trial.

Feb 13, 2020

Observational studies have suggested that accelerated surgery is associated with improved outcomes in patients with a hip fracture. The HIP ATTACK trial assessed whether accelerated surgery could redu...

Lipid-lowering treatment in secondary prevention of ischaemic cerebrovascular disease.

Feb 10, 2020

Stroke is the second cause of death after myocardial infarction, and the main cause of acquired disability. Patients with ischaemic stroke have a higher risk of future vascular events, including recur...

Shunt intention during carotid endarterectomy in the early symptomatic period and perioperative stroke risk.

Feb 10, 2020

Whether recent stroke mandates planned shunting during carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is controversial. Our goal was to determine associations of various shunting practices with postoperative outcomes o...

The impact of age on in-hospital outcomes after transcarotid artery revascularization, transfemoral carotid artery stenting, and carotid endarterectomy.

Feb 10, 2020

Previous data showed superior outcomes of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) compared with transfemoral carotid artery stenting (TFCAS) in elderly patients because of an increased stroke risk in TFCAS-treat...

Exercise stress echocardiography with ABCDE protocol in unexplained dyspnoea.

Feb 10, 2020

Current guidelines recommend the use of exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) in patients with unexplained dyspnoea. SE was recently reshaped with the ABCDE protocol: A for asynergy, B for B-lines (4...

Use and Trends in Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Percutaneous Intervention

Feb 10, 2020

To review the clinical evidence on the use of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) revascularization options in left main (LM) disease in comparison with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Coron...

Is obesity a risk factor for readmission after acute myocardial infarction?

Feb 04, 2020

Hospital readmissions are a major concern in terms of both cost and quality of care. The purpose of this study was to determine which patients were more likely to experience hospital readmissions afte...

Utility of discovery approach using proteomics to create a biomarker profile for coronary microvascular dysfunction.

Feb 04, 2020

Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is a complex disease, difficult to diagnose and often requires advanced imaging. We used mass spectrometry (MS) using discovery approach to search for serum pr...

Electrocardiogram to predict reperfusion success in late presenters with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Feb 04, 2020

Clinical decision-making in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) presenting beyond 12 h of symptom onset (late presenters) is challenging. However, the electrocardiogram (...
