Endovascular repair vs open surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms: comparative utilization trends from 2001 to 2006.

29 Jun 2009 PURPOSE: Within the past few years, endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has come into use for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). In many cases, EVAR has the potential to replace traditional open surgical repair (OSR), which is more ... Read more...

Five-year experience with transradial coronary angioplasty in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction.

30 Mar 2009 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) via radial approach has been shown to be an alternative to femoral approach in emergency cases; however, its feasibility has been questioned. This single-center study was performed to ... Read more...

Mortality following placement of drug-eluting and bare-metal stents for ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction in the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events.

13 Jan 2009 AIMS: To assess mortality after drug-eluting stent (DES) or bare-metal stent (BMS) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS AND RESULTS: In this multinational registry, 5093 STEMI patients received a stent: 1313 (26%) a DES ... Read more...
