This study sought to assess the mechanistic effect of rotational atherectomy (RA) and orbital (OA) on heavily calcified coronary lesions subsequent stent placement using optical coherence tomography (OCT).RA OA are two main approaches ablate calcium. While small case reports have described RA in lesions, there has been no imaging artery architecture and/or compare effects devices.This analyzed 20 consecutive patients with OCT performed after implantation, (n = 10) 10).Postatherectomy...

Background In the drug eluting stent (DES) era, repeat in‐stent restenosis (ISR) of same coronary lesion, despite percutaneous intervention (PCI), is a rare but challenging problem that has not been reported. We aim to describe what we propose as occurrence “resistant”‐ISR (R‐ISR) in DES including angiographic patterns and outcomes. Methods defined R‐ISR recurrence an ISR episode after successful treatment lesion. identified 276 consecutive patients with 291 lesions who had between May 2003...

Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have an increased risk of acute myocardial infarction (MI), and 6.5-15% mortality in this population is attributable to cardiovascular disease. However, the angiographic pattern coronary artery disease (CAD) patients HIV undergoing percutaneous intervention (PCI) remains unknown. We sought assess describe features burden CAD as compared those without infection.This a retrospective, single-centre study comparing 93 who underwent PCI...

Possible links between inflammatory stimuli and atherothrombotic disease in the context of gallbladder pathology are not well understood. Our case demonstrates that clinical suspicion cardiac after a diagnosis acute cholecystitis should remain high light dire consequences missed diagnosis.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy profile new-generation, SYNERGY everolimus-eluting stents (S-EES) as compared XIENCE (X-EES) with a durable polymer coating in "complex patients".We included 2,001 consecutive patients treated S-EES (n=400) or X-EES (n=1,601) at two Italian centres between May 2013 2015. We used propensity score matching obtain cohorts similar baseline risk profiles. Patients were stratified according complexity based on EVOLVE II trial exclusion...

Objective: To elucidate a proposed role of TACI, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family member human B cells, in atherosclerosis. Whereas atherosclerosis has been characterized by inflammation, adaptive immunity, and specifically the cells their respective cytokine processes have not, thus we focused on cell homeostasis regulator, TACI. We chose TACI because it shown, combination with immunoglobulins, to inhibit involved innate response, known be initial responders Approach Results: As there are...
