  • Further studies are needed to investigate the correlation of the coronary score with outcome parameters (eg, death). (dovepress.com)
  • Main outcome measures The acute coronary severities and late outcomes (survival free of coronary aneurysm persistence and ischaemia) were assessed. (bmj.com)
  • Despite improvement in stent technology and operator experience, management can be challenging especially in LMCA bifurcation lesions and, therefore, an integrated approach combining advanced devices, tailored techniques, adjunctive support of physiological evaluation, and adjunctive pharmacological agents should be reinforced to improve clinical outcome. (amrita.edu)
  • The primary outcome was to determine whether lesion level AGCs were associated with progression to ACS-causing culprit lesions. (medpagetoday.com)
Type 2 diabet1
  • Coronary artery disease (CAD) tends to progress more rapidly in the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) population and may be associated with dyslipidemia. (biomedcentral.com)
Angiographic findings2
  • DESIGN Coronary angiographic findings were compared with respect to the distribution of coronary blood supply and the location of coronary lesions. (bmj.com)
  • The included clinical data and coronary angiographic findings were analyzed in the study. (biomedcentral.com)
Vascular2
  • The item number claimed should reflect the number of coronary vascular territories that are treated during the procedure, not the total number of diseased territories. (health.gov.au)
  • Unstable lesions activate blood clotting and/or vascular spasm. (medscape.com)
Pulmonary artery1
  • however, if a named coronary artery arises directly from the pulmonary trunk with absence of a direct aortic connection, this is classified as an anomalous origin of the coronary artery from the pulmonary artery . (medscape.com)
Implantation1
  • The occurrence and clustering of stent thrombosis in the subacute phase suggests that the risk is associated with factors related to the scaffold, the lesion, implantation technique, or a combination of these factors (calcium, adequate predilatation, expansion, apposition etc). (medscape.com)
Atherosclerotic plaque1
  • We previously demonstrated that factor XI (FXI) deficiency in mice reduced the atherosclerotic plaque area in coronary sinuses and the aortic arch. (spandidos-publications.com)
Multivessel1
  • The results showed that the risk of CAD and multivessel lesions was higher when the aAIP was higher in men with T2DM, and this positive association was not affected by HbA1c, age, or the presence of glucose-lowering therapy. (biomedcentral.com)
Major coronary1
  • The DESolve bioresorbable coronary scaffold system achieves good efficacy and safety with low rates of late lumen loss and major coronary adverse events at six months, show first results from the pivotal DESolve Nx trial reported at EuroPCR 2013 today. (escardio.org)
Target lesion failure2
  • Target lesion failure may be more frequent when IVL is performed for the treatment of ISR due to calcium-mediated stent under expansion. (frontiersin.org)
  • Rates of target lesion failure were also similar at nine months (4.8% vs. 5.3%, p=0.47). (escardio.org)
Aortic1
  • The ApoE KO mice developed an advanced atherosclerotic lesion area in the aortic arch, which was reduced by 33% in the DKO mice. (spandidos-publications.com)
