WASHINGTON, DC—Coronary stent infections are highly fatal and represent an understudied complication following PCI, a new analysis highlights. “Several important questions about coronary stent ...
Vitamin therapy to lower homocysteine levels has recently been recommended for the prevention of restenosis after coronary angioplasty. We tested the effect of a combination of folic acid, vitamin B 6 ...
Using intravascular imaging to guide stent implantation during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in heart disease patients significantly improves survival and reduces adverse cardiovascular ...
A new study could lead to more widespread use of imaging technique to improve survival and prevent complications. Using intravascular imaging (IVI) to guide stent implantation during complex stenting ...
New research could change standard-of-care guidelines to improve outcomes for heart attack patients after coronary stenting procedures. Withdrawing aspirin one month after percutaneous coronary ...
In one of the longest studies to date in high-risk heart disease, researchers found no significant difference in death rates over more than 10 years—as well as in cases of heart attack or ...
Using intravascular imaging to visualize narrowed coronary arteries improves outcomes after stenting
Patients with complex coronary artery disease who underwent a stenting procedure guided by intravascular imaging were nearly 40% less likely to die of heart disease, have a heart attack caused by a ...
A new report published Tuesday found over one in five coronary stents placed between 2019 and 2021 were unnecessary, costing Medicare $800 million a year and putting patients at risk of complications ...
