Efficacy of aggressive lipid controlling therapy for preventing saphenous vein graft disease.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: We assessed the efficacy of aggressive lipid controlling therapy (ALCT), which maintains low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) below to 80 mg/dL and LDL/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio less than 1.5 for ... Read more...

Choice of conduit for the right coronary system: 8-year analysis of Radial Artery Patency and Clinical Outcomes trial.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Previous reports have supported the use of bilateral internal thoracic arteries to revascularize the left coronary circulation. If this becomes standardized practice, the optimal conduit for the right coronary system remains to be ... Read more...

Drug-eluting versus bare-metal stents for treating saphenous vein grafts.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Current data show conflicting results regarding safety and efficacy of drug-eluting stents (DES) versus bare-metal stents (BMS) for treating saphenous vein grafts (SVG). Our objective was to compare DES with BMS for SVG intervention. ... Read more...
