Our results support that SES used in SVG lesions result in a reduction in TLR without an increased risk of mortality, and therefore may be an equally safe and feasible technique for revascularization with excellent long-term clinical outcomes. These patients may benefit from prolonged dual antiplatelet and statin medication regimens.
Cannulation of an anomalous right coronary artery during coronary angiography and percutaneous intervention poses significant technical difficulties using currently available catheter shapes. We describe a new catheter design and the cannulation technique for application of this catheter. The initial experience with this catheter in cases is reported.
The BNP levels are significantly elevated in RCMP compared to CP patients; BNP may prove to be a useful noninvasive marker for the differentiation of the two conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
