  • Rotational atherectomy is useful to treat restenosis lesions due to crushing of a sirolimus-eluting stent implanted in severely calcified lesions: experimental study and initial clinical experience. 
  • Detection of atherosclerotic progression with rupture of degenerated in-stent intima five years after bare-metal stent implantation using optical coherence tomography. 
  • The confluent balloon technique--two cases illustrating a novel method to achieve rapid wire crossing of chronic total occlusion during retrograde approach percutaneous coronary intervention. 
  • Concurrent assessment of epicardial coronary artery stenosis and microvascular dysfunction using diagnostic endpoints derived from fundamental fluid dynamics principles. 
  • Ethnic minorities exhibit reduction in door-to-balloon time comparable to whites with a newly-implemented emergency physician activation protocol (Code-STEMI). 
  • Peripheral plaque volume changes pre- and post-rotational atherectomy followed by directional plaque excision: assessment by intravascular ultrasound and virtual histology. 
  • Elevated admission serum creatinine predicts poor myocardial blood flow and one-year mortality in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
