June 16, 2009 (Leipzig, Germany) — A small randomized study comparing minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery (MIDCAB) with PCI using sirolimus-eluting stents suggests that both approaches ...
Contemporary hard clinical outcomes are comparable after CABG and PCI for patients with isolated proximal LAD disease, according to a retrospective study published in the December 30, 2014, issue of ...
These 12-lead ECG recordings of eight patients show precordial ST-segment depression at the J point followed by peaked, positive T waves. In addition, lead aVR shows slight ST-segment elevation in ...
Cardiac surgeons are adopting techniques to make surgery more appealing and provide better outcomes for patients -- some of whom would otherwise have the option to go a transcatheter route. Surgeons ...
In proximal lesions of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with bare-metal stents (BMS) yields equivalent outcomes compared with minimally invasive ...
