Abstract: Objectives. Ticagrelor has proven more effective than clopidogrel at attaining a maintained suppression of high platelet reactivity (HPR) in aortic stenosis patients…
Orthotopic heart transplantation is a reasonable treatment strategy for patients with end-stage heart failure. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can be performed to treat cardiac allograft…
The aim of this clinical study is to assess the feasibility and safety of the 7 Fr Railway sheathless access system (Cordis Corporation) for complex PCI using distal radial artery access.
We compared the procedural efficacy and outcomes at 30 days and 1 year in patients who underwent TAVR via subclavian (or transcaval access route at a single, tertiary-care center.
We sought to describe the outcomes of patients who underwent caval valve implantation (CAVI) for treatment of severe tricuspid regurgitation in the United States. Previous studies on CAVI have used a…
Use of aspirin after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) improves graft patency, but administration of other antiplatelet agents has yielded equivocal results. Our objective was to test whether…
Approximately 50% of patients with severe mitral regurgitation referred for surgery have prohibitive surgical risk. MitraClip (Abbott Vascular) is an alternative therapy option in these patients. The…
Robotic PCI results in outcomes that are comparable to manual PCI in the treatment of obstructive coronary artery disease. The objective of this study is to evaluate the cost and resource utilization…
Coronary artery disease in palliated hypoplastic left heart syndrome is uncommon. We sought to assess and describe coronary artery involvement in this complex patient population. Our research…
