Background Although the salutary effects of reperfusion in patients with left ventricular
infarction are well documented, the benefits in patients with acute right ventricular infarction are …

We evaluated the incidence, angiographic predictors, and clinical outcome of side branch
occlusion (SBO) following high-pressure intracoronary stenting in 175 patients. All stent …

No‐reflow has been reported after 10–15% of percutaneous interventions on degenerated
saphenous vein grafts. In this prospective study of 36 degenerated saphenous vein graft …

Background— Although proximal right coronary artery (RCA) occlusion is the culprit commonly
responsible for acute right ventricular (RV) infarction (RVI), the severity of RV dysfunction …

Ultrasound-accelerated thrombolysis (USAT) is advocated in pulmonary embolism (PE) based
on the hypothesis that adjunctive ultrasound provides superior clinical efficacy compared …

Objectives The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of “low‐dose”
systemic thrombolytic therapy (TT) for treatment of patients with intermediate‐high risk …

Background The purpose of this study was to assess serial changes in coronary blood flow
velocity before and after Rotablator atherectomy and after adjunctive percutaneous …

The aims of this study were to validate invasive coronary Doppler flows against noninvasive
PET assessments of myocardial perfusion and to examine the timing and degree of regional …

The Western Washington Intracoronary Streptokinase randomized trial1 first demonstrated
that intracoronary thrombolytic therapy improved survival for patients presenting within 12 …

We analyzed the 395 patients randomized into the Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial
Infarction (PAMI) trial to receive tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) or to undergo primary …
