Revascularization for unprotected left main disease: evolution of the evidence basis to redefine treatment standards.

18 Oct 2009 Determining the most appropriate revascularization strategy for patients presenting with unprotected left main coronary (UPLM) disease has been a topic of great recent interest. During this current decade, there have been multiple clinical trials ... Read more...

Accuracy of computed tomographic angiography for stenosis quantification using quantitative coronary angiography or intravascular ultrasound as the gold standard.

13 Oct 2009 Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) is considered to have limited accuracy for quantifying exact percent diameter stenosis in coronary arteries. However, most studies evaluating CTA use quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) as the gold ... Read more...

Flow-targeted inversion-prepared b-TFE coronary MR angiography: initial results in patients.

12 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: Visualization of coronary blood flow in the right and left coronary system in volunteers and patients by means of a modified inversion-prepared bright-blood coronary magnetic resonance angiography (cMRA) sequence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: ... Read more...
