Oct 26th, 2020 - We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the long-term outcomes of PCI compared to CABG in patients with LMCAD. Recent data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) has raised concerns regarding the long-term efficacy and saf...

Oct 22nd, 2020 - We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of resting myocardial blood flow (rMBF), quantified with dynamic 13 N-Ammonia (NH3) PET, for identifying myocardial viability and predicting improvement of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) after corona...

Oct 22nd, 2020 - Robotic totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) on the beating heart has been facilitated in our experience using distal coronary anastomotic connectors. In this study, we retrospectively reviewed graft patency in all robotic TECAB patie...

Oct 21st, 2020 - The optimal revascularization strategy for patients with ischaemic left ventricular systolic dysfunction (iLVSD) remains controversial. We aimed to compare percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and medica...

Oct 21st, 2020 - Multiple arterial grafting (MAG) in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with higher survival and freedom from major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) in observational studies of mostly men. It is not known whethe...

Aug 31st, 2017 - Exercise stress testing is a validated diagnostic test for coronary artery disease in symptomatic patients, and is used in the evaluation of patients with known cardiac disease. Testing of asymptomatic patients is generally not indicated. It may b...

Dec 18th, 2015 - Internal thoracic arteries (ITAs) should be used to bypass the left anterior descending (LAD) artery when bypass of the LAD is indicated (class of recommendation [COR] I, level of evidence [LOE] B). As an adjunct to left internal thoracic artery (...

Aug 27th, 2013 - The initial 2010 Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) Guidelines for the Use of Antiplatelet Therapy in the Outpatient Setting were published in May 2011. As part of a planned re-evaluation within 2 years, we conducted an extensive literature sea...

Jul 30th, 2013 - Numerous definitions have been proposed for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) after coronary revascularization. The universal definition for MI designates post procedural biomarker thresholds for defining percutaneous coronary interventi...

Mar 20th, 2012 - Refractory angina (RFA) is a debilitating disease characterized by cardiac pain resistant to conventional treatments for coronary artery disease including nitrates, calcium-channel and β-adrenoceptor blockade, vasculoprotective agents, percutaneou...

Aug 26th, 2019 - Patients at very high risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes derive substantial benefit from proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibition, according to results of two analyses from the ODYSSEY OUTCOMES trial. In one prespecifi.

Aug 21st, 2019 - Viable myocardium doesn't boost long-term benefit from coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and coronary artery disease (CAD), a STICH trial analysis found. All-cause mortality was less likely over a medi...

May 9th, 2019 - Patients who got coronary artery bypass grafting and were confirmed to have perioperative myocardial ischemia tended to maintain their left ventricular ejection fractions with urgent percutaneous coronary intervention and conservative treatment, a...

May 3rd, 2019 - Surgery holds a real-world survival benefit over stenting in multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) that persists in contemporary practice -- despite randomized data saying otherwise, according to an analysis of two national registries. Percuta...

Apr 4th, 2019 - Diabetes patients had similar outcomes from coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) as from percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for left main coronary artery disease, like the rest of the EXCEL cohort. (Journal of the American College of Cardi...
