The primary objective of invasive treatment strategies for multivessel coronary artery disease is complete anatomical revascularization. As objective evidence of ischemia can be provided by a ...

We randomly assigned 5179 patients with moderate or severe ischemia to an initial invasive strategy (angiography and revascularization when feasible) and medical therapy or to an initial ...

Quality of Life in Patients With Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia Treated With Revascularization. Circulation, 2024; DOI: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.123.065277 ...

The difference was driven by a lower rate of target-lesion revascularization in the sirolimus-stent group than in the paclitaxel-stent group (4.8 percent vs. 8.3 percent; hazard ratio, 0.56; 95 ...

Among the patients with single-vessel disease, the mode of revascularization was typically PCI, which makes intuitive sense and is consistent with guidelines. 2 – 4 Most of the variation in the ...

In a study by Lindstaedt et al. optimizing revascularization strategies using intracoronary pressure measurements, 24% of patient with multivessel disease had the surgical revascularization ...

Background: Although practice guidelines recommend coronary revascularization for patients with heart failure, the evidence to support this recommendation is weak. The objective of our study was to ...

Repeat revascularization performed for recurring disease at a lesion or artery previously treated was associated with an increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. In contrast, neither ...

Read-world data showed that more patients underwent subsequent revascularization after “CT first” evaluation for chest pain vs. other functional testing strategies, researchers reported ...
