Background: Previous studies found that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) does not improve outcome compared with medical therapy (MT) in patients stable artery disease, but PCI was guided by angiography alone. FAME 2 trial (Fractional Flow Reserve Versus Angiography for Multivessel Evaluation) fractional flow reserve best MT disease to assess clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness. Methods: A total of 888 single-vessel or multivessel reduced were randomly assigned plus (n=447) alone...
Background: The prognostic impact of coronary microvascular dysfunction after percutaneous intervention (PCI) remains unclear in patients with stable artery disease. This study sought to investigate the value function measured immediately PCI Methods: We enrolled 572 disease who underwent and elective measurement index microcirculatory resistance (IMR) from 8 centers 4 countries. Impaired was defined as IMR≥25 (high IMR). Major adverse cardiac events, including death, myocardial infarction...
Background Clinical outcomes of acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock remain poor with high in‐hospital mortality. Veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‐ECMO) has been widely used for patients refractory to conservative therapy, which is likely fatal without mechanical circulatory support. However, whether additional intra‐aortic balloon pumping (IABP) use during VA‐ECMO support improves clinical remains controversial. This study sought investigate...
Abstract By using an oxide semiconductor, we successfully prototyped a 3.4‐inch QHD LCD panel including data and scan drivers; their power consumption is reduced by variable frame frequency (from 1/60 fps to 120 fps) depending on images. Low in displaying still images PC monitor can reduce eyestrain.
Microvascular resistance reserve (MRR) has been proposed as a specific metric to quantify coronary microvascular function. The long-term prognostic value of MRR measured in stable patients immediately after percutaneous intervention (PCI) is unknown. This study sought determine the PCI with artery disease.

Background Coronary artery spasm plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of coronary plaques. We sought to investigate plaque characteristics co-existing organic lesions patients with comparison those without by intracoronary optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods and Results included 39 who presented symptom suspected spastic angina had an lesion, defined as ≥plaque burden 50% assessed OCT. was diagnosed positive acetylcholine provocation test, or spontaneous detected during...

The minimum inhibitory concentrations of most strains clinically isolated Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, H. Proteus...
We hypothesized that the combination of a high neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV) would be stronger predictor future cardiovascular events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Both NLR MPV were measured in 364 consecutive patients undergoing PCI. The primary end point was incidence major adverse (MACEs), including cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis. median values 2.8 8.2 fL, respectively. There 26 MACEs during follow-up...
Whether the benefit in quality of life (QOL) after percutaneous coronary intervention depends on severity stenosis as determined by fractional flow reserve (FFR) remains unknown. This study sought to investigate relationship between FFR values and improvement QOL. From FAME 1 2 trials (Fractional Flow Reserve Versus Angiography for Multivessel Evaluation), we identified 706 stable patients with artery disease who had at least lesion an FFR≤0.80 that was treated 185 no were medically served a...
Abstract The single-stent strategy has generally been accepted as the default approach to bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention. We have proposed proximal balloon edge dilation (PBED) technique prevent stent deformation during side branch (SB) dilation. This bench study aimed evaluate impact of link location and design on deformation, obstruction by struts at a jailed SB ostium, incomplete apposition in optimization (POT)-PBED procedure. A model was used. intentionally set absence...
Sex-related disparities in clinical outcomes following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and the impact of sex on after TAVR among different racial groups are undetermined. This study assessed whether sex-specific differences baseline anatomical characteristics affect investigated groups. The TP-TAVR (Trans-Pacific TAVR) registry is a multinational cohort patients with severe stenosis who underwent at 2 major centers United States 1 center South Korea. primary outcome was...
Abstract We developed 0.7 inch VGA TFT‐OLED with a 64 gray‐scale integrated driver circuit. The has good image uniformity due to digital operation. Control in time‐ratio was useful for achieving large level. Our simplified pixel configuration accomplished high resolution.
Such factors as suspending medium, operating pressure, exposure time, inoculum size, and strain, sex, age, weight of the animals were examined for their effects on development respiratory tract infection with Klebsiella pneumoniae DT-S in mice.
