More extensive stenting improved coronary perfusion and reduced myocardial injury among high-risk patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection, but was linked to elevated risk for ...

In patients with multivessel coronary artery disease, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) offers significant advantages over percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in terms of rate of repeat ...

Patients enrolled in the study, known as FLAVOUR, had intermediate coronary artery stenosis, which means that their coronary artery—the major artery supplying blood to the heart—was 40–70% ...

BARCELONA -- Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) did not improve outcomes for ischemic cardiomyopathy patients with substantial atherosclerotic coronary artery disease in the first few years ...
