A new method for determining whether patients with heart disease need coronary stents or bypass surgery is more effective than the angiogram, which is currently used, according to research from ...
Abbott aims to build optical coherence tomography into a preferred tool for guiding the placement of stents that increase blood flow to the heart muscle. But a pair of major late-breaking studies ...
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 68 and in good shape; I work out daily. I had a few episodes of angina two to three years ago and started going to a cardiologist as a result. I have had quite a few tests done, ...
Using intravascular imaging to visualize narrowed coronary arteries improves outcomes after stenting
Patients with complex coronary artery disease who underwent a stenting procedure guided by intravascular imaging were nearly 40% less likely to die of heart disease, have a heart attack caused by a ...
Using intravascular imaging (IVI) to guide stent implantation during complex stenting procedures is safer and more effective for patients with severely calcified coronary artery disease than ...
PARIS, France—Patients with calcified lesions undergoing PCI can benefit from an OCT-based strategy for lesion preparation and stent optimization, achieving greater minimum stent area (MSA) than with ...
PARIS — A percutaneous intervention strategy based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides greater procedural success than an angiography-based strategy for stent optimization in calcified ...
(BETHESDA, MD)--The use of medicated stents markedly improves the clinical outcomes of patients who develop blockages in aging veins surgically grafted onto the heart, according to a just-published ...
